Exploring grazing intensity effects: nitrogen uptake in grassland species and soil carbon allocation
Grazing drives carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics of grasslands through livestock trampling, defoliation, and excretion. Still, the responses of N uptake by plant species and simultaneous C allocation into t...

Clonal integration under heterogeneous water environment increases plant biomass and nitrogen uptake in a temperate steppe
Clonal integration between ramets under heterogeneous environment has crucial implications for the clonal plants, is widely distribute in the arid ecosystems because it helps to transfer water and nutrients fr...

Interactions between intercropped Avena sativa and Agropyron cristatum for nitrogen uptake
The effect of crop** regime on nitrogen (N) uptake in two coexisting plant grass species (Avena sativa and Agropyron cristatum) was investigated.

The effects of changes in water and nitrogen availability on alien plant invasion into a stand of a native grassland species
Plant invasions are a major component of global change, but they may be affected by other global change components. Here we used a mesocosm-pot experiment to test whether high water availability, nitrogen (N) ...

Nitrogen competition between three dominant plant species and microbes in a temperate grassland
To test the hypothesis that dominant plant species could acquire different nitrogen (N) forms over a spatial scale and they also have the ability to compete for available N with microbes.

Kin selection or resource partitioning for growing with siblings: implications from measurements of nitrogen uptake
Kin selection and resource partitioning have been proposed to explain interactions between plants growing with siblings (from the same mother). These mechanisms have been examined by measurements of fitness, p...

Interactions of plant species mediated plant competition for inorganic nitrogen with soil microorganisms in an alpine meadow
Sources of competition for limited soil resources, such as nitrogen, include competitive interactions among different plant species and between plants and soil microbes. We hypothesized that plant interactions...
