Daytime warming and nighttime have the potential to influence plant community structure ecosystem functions. However, their impacts on ecological stability remain largely unexplored. We conducted an eight-year field experiment compare effects of daytime temporal a temperate steppe in northern China. Our results showed that cover dominant species, subordinate compensatory dynamics among species strongly influenced community-level stability. daytime, but not nighttime, significantly reduced...
Abstract Intensification of the Earth's hydrological cycle amplifies interannual variability precipitation, which will significantly impact terrestrial carbon (C) cycle. However, it is still unknown whether previously observed relationship between soil respiration ( R s ) and precipitation remains applicable under extreme change. By analyzing observations from a much larger dataset field experiments (248 published papers including 151 grassland studies 97 forest studies) across wider range...
Abstract Globally, higher inputs of acid deposition and anthropogenic reactive nitrogen cause lower pH in soils, that is, soil acidification, which may broadly influence both above‐ below‐ground biota their habitats. However, we know little about the consequences acidification for a wide range ecosystem functions services (i.e. multifunctionality). Here, examined impacts short‐term on 19 relevant to primary productivity cycling and/or storage carbon (C), (N) phosphorus (P) using 2‐year...
Drought events could have profound influence on plant community structure and ecosystem function, subsequent impacts stability, but we know little about how different climate warming scenarios affect resistance resilience to drought. Combining a daytime nighttime experiment in the temperate steppe of north China with natural drought event during study period, tested influences resilience. Our results showed that semi-arid was resistant both warming, vulnerable Nighttime not enhanced via...
There is little known about how understory vegetation affects the soil microbial community assembly, although it exerts strong controls on composition. We attempted to clarify this question by establishing an experiment in which was either removed or maintained as a primary tropical forest south China. The results showed that removing markedly altered structure of fungal rather than bacterial communities. assembly control sites dominated drift (stochasticity), whereas governed more...
Abstract Global warming and changes in precipitation patterns can critically influence the structure productivity of terrestrial ecosystems. However, underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. We conducted two independent but complementary experiments (one with manipulation (+ or – 30%) another selective plant removal) a semiarid grassland on Loess Plateau, northwestern China, to assess how altered affect community. Our results showed that affected community aboveground net primary...
Anthropogenic elevated nitrogen (N) deposition has an accelerated terrestrial N cycle, shaping soil carbon dynamics and storage through altering organic mineralization processes. However, it remains unclear how long-term high affects in tropical forests. To address this question, we established a experiment N-rich lowland forest of Southern China with additions such as NH4NO3 0 (Control), 50 (Low-N), 100 (Medium-N) 150 (High-N) kg ha−1 yr−1, laboratory incubation experiment, used to explore...
Abstract Aims Global change may cause unparalleled supplies of soil nutrients and further lead to stoichiometric imbalance nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) in terrestrial plants. While previous studies had reported the effects global factors on plant N, P contents their ratios, few examined whether or how these influence scaling two elements. Methods Taking advantage a manipulative experiment with altered precipitation, warming N addition, using general function = βPα, we respond Loess grassland...
Abstract Numerous ecosystem manipulative experiments have been conducted since 1970/80 s to elucidate responses of terrestrial carbon cycling the changing atmospheric composition (CO 2 enrichment and nitrogen deposition) climate (warming precipitation regimes), which is crucial for model projection mitigation future global change effects. Here, we extract data from 2,242 publications that report build a comprehensive database with 5,213 pairs samples plant production (productivity, biomass,...
Aims Plant species diversity often declines when nutrients are added in grassland. However, the mechanisms for explaining biodiversity loss due to nutrient enrichment have remained controversial. Our objective was explore potential of decline. Methods In this paper, based on a four-year experiment addition and grazing an alpine plant community, we investigate by comparing aboveand below-ground competitions using coefficient variation nitrogen use efficiency under fertilization scenario both...
Plant roots exert critical controls over microbial decomposition, but climate change factors may alter these effects. Yet, the direction and magnitude of interactive effects, as well underlying mechanisms, remain unclear. Here we show evidence from a field experiment demonstrating that strengthen root litter decomposition in semi-arid grassland. While plant significantly increased soil biomass, they suppressed activities, C-cycling enzymes decomposition. Both precipitation reduction warming...
