    Reduced turnover rate of topsoil organic carbon in old-growth forests: a case study in subtropical China

    Old-growth forests are irreplaceable with respect to climate change mitigation and have considerable carbon (C) sink potential in soils. However, the relationship between the soil organic carbon (SOC) turnover...

    Plant diversity and species turnover co-regulate soil nitrogen and phosphorus availability in Dinghushan forests, southern China

    The interaction between plants and soil is an important internal driver of ecosystem evolution. Many studies have reported the unidirectional effects of soil nutrients on plant diversity and species turnover. ...

    Warming changes soil N and P supplies in model tropical forests

    Few studies have examined the responses of soil nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) and the related microbial activities to warming in P-limited tropical forests. In this study, we investigated soil NO3–N and exchan...

    Rain-induced changes in soil CO2 flux and microbial community composition in a tropical forest of China

    Rain-induced soil CO2 pulse, a rapid excitation in soil CO2 flux after rain, is ubiquitously observed in terrestrial ecosystems, yet the underlying mechanisms in tropical forests are still not clear. We conducted...

    Warming effects on biomass and composition of microbial communities and enzyme activities within soil aggregates in subtropical forest

    This study investigated the effects of warming (about 1 °C) on the biomass and composition of microbial communities and enzyme activities in soil macroaggregates and microaggregates. We fractionated the bulk s...

    Nitrogen and phosphorus productivities of five subtropical tree species in response to elevated CO2 and N addition

    The productivities of nitrogen and phosphorus (NP and PP) in plants have been greatly altered by increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations (CO2) and nitrogen (N) deposition. However, studies on this a...

    Capacity of stem water conductivity for two eucalyptus (Eucalyptus urophylla) plantations in South China

    The sap flux density (SFD) was used as a measure of water capacity through stems of eucalyptus in this paper. It was found that daily SFD increased with daily vapor pressure deficit (VPD) in nonlinear regression
