Globally, the allocation of root-shoot biomass is a key plant-adaptive strategy for terrestrial ecosystems to enhance carbon-sequestration capacity. However, deep mechanisms above-/below-ground distribution remain unclear, partly due multiple influencing factors. We thus aim clarify role various factors in across diverse biomes paper. A indicator named root/shoot ratio (RSR) was established, and 7763 observational data-sets were collected from literature, including root biomass, shoot plant...
Hydrology is a major driver of biogeochemical processes underlying the distinct productivity different biomes, including agricultural plantations. Understanding factors governing water fluxes in soil therefore key target for hydrological management. Our aim was to investigate changes hydraulic conductivity driven by morphologically root systems cover crops and their impact on surface runoff. Root twelve crop species were characterized corresponding measured tension infiltrometry. Relations...
Abstract Rainfall extremes (RE) become more variable and stochastic in the context of climate change, increasing uncertainties risks water erosion real world. Vegetation also plays a key role soil dynamics. Responses to RE vegetation, however, remain unclear. In this article, on basis data measured 15 plots (area: 10 m × 5 m) definition World Meteorological Organization (WMO) rainfall extremes, 158 natural events from 1986 2005 were analysed, rain depth maximal 30‐min intensity (MI 30 ) used...
We report on the first study to track spatial behaviors of wild giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) using high-resolution global positioning system (GPS) telemetry. Between 2008 and 2009, 4 (2 male 2 female) were tracked in Foping Reserve, China for an average 305 days (± 54.8 SE). Panda home ranges larger than those previous very high frequency tracking studies, with a bimodal distribution space-use distinct winter summer centers activity. Home range sizes summer, although there was...
Abstract In the dryland and degraded regions, soil moisture is primary factor determining ecological restoration. Proper land preparations vegetation restoration can improve benefit Identifying their effects on thus essential for developing suitable management strategies. this study, four typical preparation techniques (level ditches, fish‐scale pits, zig terraces, level benches) non‐native types ( Prunus armeniaca , Platycladus orientalis Pinus tabulaeformis Caragana microphylla ) were...
A critical function of animal movement is to maximize access essential resources in temporally fluctuating and spatially heterogeneous environments. Seasonally mediated resource fluctuations may influence movements, enabling them track changing distributions, resulting annual migration patterns. The conservation-dependent giant panda ( Ailuropoda melanoleuca) displays seasonal patterns; however, the key factor driving these patterns remains poorly understood. Here, we used GPS tracking...
Abstract Human‐created terraces are distributed extensively in the Chinese Loess Plateau, which play key roles soil conservation, agricultural production and sustainable development. However, large‐scale long‐term terrace mapping remains a big challenge due to complexity of topography, land cover deficiency high‐quality historical spatial data. Facing this task, our study aims develop new approach for capturing 30 years (from 1990 2020) patterns at macroscales (the whole with an area 6.4 ×...
