The impact of microplastics on antibiotic resistance has attracted widespread attention. However, previous studies primarily focused the effects individual microplastics. In reality, diverse microplastic types accumulate in soil, and it remains less well studied whether diversity (i.e., variations color, shape or polymer type) can be an important driver increased gene (ARG) abundance. Here, we employed microcosm to investigate soil ARG dynamics through metagenomic analysis. Additionally,...
Pesticide application is essential for stabilizing agricultural production. However, the effects of increasing pesticide diversity on soil microbial functions remain unclear, particularly under varying nitrogen (N) fertilizer management practices. In this study, we investigated stochasticity microbes and multitrophic networks through amplicon sequencing, assessed community related to carbon (C), N, phosphorus (P), sulfur (S) cycling, characterized dominant bacterial life history strategies...
Background and Aims It is frequently assumed that phenotypic plasticity can be very advantageous for plants, because it may increase environmental tolerance (fitness homeostasis). This should, however, only hold plastic responses are adaptive, i.e. fitness. Numerous studies have shown shade-induced increases in specific leaf area (SLA), there wide consensus this response optimizes light capture thus has to adaptive. However, rarely been tested whether really the case. Methods In order...
Summary Global environmental change not only includes changes in mean conditions but also temporal fluctuations. Because it is frequently suggested that common species, and particularly invasive alien are phenotypically highly plastic, they might benefit more from these fluctuations than rare native species. Experimental tests, however, still lacking. Here, we tested whether plant species take advantage of increases resource levels therein do so Therefore, grew seven alien, nine six...
Microplastic is globally regarded as an important factor impacting biogeochemical cycles, yet our understanding of such influences limited by the uncertainties intricate microbial processes. By multiomics analysis, coupled with soil chemodiversity characterization and carbon use efficiency (CUE), we investigated how responses to microplastics impacted cycling in a long-term field experiment. We showed that biodegradable promoted organic accrual average 2.47%, while nondegradable inhibited it...
ABSTRACT Maintaining the stability of ecosystems is critical for supporting essential ecosystem services over time. However, our understanding contribution diverse biotic and abiotic factors to this in wetlands remains limited. Here, we combined data from a field vegetation survey 725 herbaceous wetland sites China with remote sensing information Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) 2010 2020 explore temporal primary productivity. We found that plant species richness directly contributed on...
Abstract Sixty year ago, Charles Elton posed that species‐rich communities should be more resistant to biological invasion. Still, little is known about which processes could drive the diversity–invasibility relationship. Here we examined whether soil‐microbe‐mediated apparent competition on alien invaders negative when soil originates from multiple native species. We trained soils with five individually grown species and used amplicon sequencing analyze resulting bacterial fungal...
Abstract Artificial light at night has rapidly increased during the last century, and could potentially affect many ecological processes, from individuals via communities to entire ecosystems. Recent research shown that artificial may not only behaviour of animals but also growth plants vegetation composition. However, it is known yet whether other global change components such as plant invasions. Here, we tested how naturalized alien respond night, particularly widely species differ...
Abstract Several studies have shown that invasive plant species respond more negatively to drought than native species, but little remains understood of how and whether drought‐rewetting events may affect growth co‐occurring both directly indirectly through soil microorganisms. In a fully crossed factorial design, we grew individuals four congeneric pairs in 2.5 L pots contained live or sterilized field under one three treatments: no‐drought, drought, drought‐rewetting. Results show caused...
Artificial light at night (ALAN) has been and still is rapidly spreading become an important component of global change. Although numerous studies have tested its potential biological ecological impacts on animals, very few whether it affects alien native plants differently. Furthermore, common plant species, particularly are often found to benefit more from additional resources than rare species. Whether this also the case with regard increasing due ALAN unknown. Here, we how affected...
Abstract The ecological consequences of microplastic pollution for plants remain largely unknown, and the few studies that tested effects usually focused on a single type plant species. However, most will be exposed to multiple types simultaneously, may vary among To test diversity plants, we grew eight invasive native species in pots with substrate polluted 0, 1, 3 6 microplastics. We found growth suppression by became stronger number were to. This tended particularly case species, as their...
Globally, numerous ecosystems have been co-invaded by multiple exotic plant species that can competitive or facilitative interactions with each other and native plants. Invaded often exhibit spatial heterogeneity in soil moisture nutrient levels, some habitats having more nutrient-rich moist soils than others. The stress-gradient hypothesis predicts plants are likely to engage when growing stressful environments, such as nutrient-deficient water-deficient soils. In contrast, resources...
Global environmental changes can create novel habitats, promoting the growth of alien plants that often exhibit broad tolerance and high phenotypic plasticity. However, mechanisms underlying these promotory effects are unknown at present. Here, we conducted a phylogenetically controlled meta-analysis using data from 111 published studies encompassing responses 129 to global warming, increased precipitation, N deposition, CO2 enrichment. We compared differences in four change factors across...
The Hot Universe Baryon Surveyor (HUBS) mission is proposed to study "missing" baryons in the universe. Unlike dark matter, baryonic matter made of elements periodic table, and can be directly observed through electromagnetic signals that it produces. Stars contain only a tiny fraction known present Additional are found diffuse (gaseous) form, or between galaxies, but significant has not yet been seen. latter (missing baryons) thought hiding low-density warm-hot ionized medium (WHIM), based...
Abstract Numerous studies have highlighted the roles of nutrient availability and fluctuations therein for invasion success alien plants. Many others also role herbivores in success. However, how herbivory level interact driving plant into native communities remains largely unexplored. We grew eight invasive species as target pot‐mesocosms with five different synthetic a three‐factorial design two levels (low vs. high), fluctuation (constant pulsed) above‐ground insect (with without...
Abstract In support of the prediction enemy release hypothesis regarding a growth–defense trade‐off, invasive alien plants often exhibit greater growth and lower anti‐herbivory defenses than native plants. However, it remains unclear how nutrient enrichment invaded habitats may influence competitive interactions between co‐occurring plants, as well production anti‐herbivore defense compounds, growth‐promoting hormones, defense‐regulating hormones by two groups Here, we tested whether: (i)...
A fundamental question in ecology is which species will prevail over others amid changes both environmental mean conditions and their variability. Although the widely accepted fluctuating resource hypothesis predicts that increases availability variability therein promote nonnative plant invasion, it remains unclear to what extent these effects might be mediated by soil microbes. We grew eight invasive as target plants pot-mesocosms planted with five different synthetic native communities...
