Spiders are among the predominant predatory arthropods in rice field ecosystems. Although potential of spiders for controlling pests during growth stages is well known, few studies have focused on overwintering habits after harvesting. In present study, we aimed to evaluate stubble as an microhabitat winter-fallowed fields. To this end, investigated arthropod community composition and analyzed prey spectra common predators fields Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, China. The results showed...
Human activities have increased the imbalance in atmospheric N and P deposition, which changes soil nutrient availability subsequently affects structure function of terrestrial ecosystems. Dioecious plants are important parts ecosystems characterized by sex-related differences their response to external environment always exhibit a skewed sex ratio, makes them more vulnerable climate change increases risk extinction. However, little attention has been paid effects unbalanced deposition on...
The plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) is a common small mammal species present in the alpine meadow ecosystem on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP), and regarded as pest meadows when population density exceeds certain threshold. However, whether pikas with low have detrimental effect winter pasture unknown. Vegetation soil were sampled eight individual patchy home ranges control areas, we found vegetation properties showed different trends ranges. activity significantly increased below-ground...
Abstract Relationships between sex‐specific floral traits and endogenous phytohormones associated with altitude are unknown particularly in dioecious trees. We thus examined the relationships morphology or biomass male female flowers of Populus cathayana populations along an altitudinal gradient (1,500, 1,600, 1,700 m above sea level) Xiaowutai Nature Reserve northern China. The had most stigma pollen at m, largest ovaries least 1,500 smallest greater numbers anthers 1,600 altitude....
Abstract Plateau pikas are a keystone species and ecosystem engineers in alpine meadow ecosystems. A number of surveying methods have been used to estimate pika density, but the reliability these is not known. In addition, better population density methodologies allow for more reliable estimates. We therefore compared relationship among several commonly estimating relative absolute (AD) populations. This was investigated summer winter pastures determine whether distribution pattern (patchy...
Radial growth in response to climate has been reported many trees, but the sex-specific responses of tree-ring associated with altitude dioecious trees are still poorly known. This study aims examine whether (i) there sex-related trees; (ii) these could be changed elevation. The width and basal area increment (BAI) were measured over past 30 years (1982–2011), sexual differences relationship between BAI time span correlations ring climatic factors investigated Populus cathayana at two sites...
Delimiting important ecological conservation areas is critical for integrity, sustainability of the service function, and management environmental degradation. However, process defining protection purposes elusive, especially in Qinghai Province China, which home to unique ecosystems. To address this issue, we selected biodiversity (endangered mammals, birds, plants), soil retention, water storage, carbon sequestration define delimit these ecosystem functions. We found that endangered birds...
Vegetation is a crucial component of any ecosystem and to preserve the health stability grassland ecosystems, species diversity important. The primary form use globally livestock grazing, hence many studies focus on how plant affected by grazing intensity, differential time species. Nevertheless, impact remains largely unexplored. We performed field survey winter pastures in alpine meadows Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) examine effects vegetation traits. Livestock species, stocking rates...
