Quantitative assessment of soil acidification in four Chinese forests affected by nitrogen deposition
AimsNitrogen (N) deposition increases risks of accelerating soil acidification, but its impact could vary depending on acid-neutralizing capacity...
-
Plant diversity and species turnover co-regulate soil nitrogen and phosphorus availability in Dinghushan forests, southern China
AimsThe interaction between plants and soil is an important internal driver of ecosystem evolution. Many studies have reported the unidirectional...

Stronger effects of biodiversity loss and compositional change on forest biomass dynamics at larger spatial scales
Global environmental changes drive biodiversity loss and community compositional change. Yet whether and how both factors simultaneously impact...

Low temperature-mediated changes in soil free-living nitrogen fixation functional groups in tree species at different successional stages in subtropical forests
AimsLate-successional trees have a relatively high growth rate at low temperature, which is important for their competitive advantage over...
-
Soil phosphorus fractions and their availability over natural succession from clear-cut of a mixed broadleaved and Korean pine forest in northeast China
To assess phosphorus (P) status of forest soil under naturally restored vegetation, P fractions in the 10-cm soil layer were quantified at different...

Overview: Geographical Partition and Distribution of Fungal Resources in China
Early authoritative partitioning for the ecological distribution of fungi in China was seen in Edible Fungal Flora of China edited by the Edible...

Phyllosphere bacterial and fungal communities vary with host species identity, plant traits and seasonality in a subtropical forest
BackgroundPhyllosphere microbes play important roles in host plant performance and fitness. Recent studies have suggested that tropical and temperate...

Soil acidification enhanced soil carbon sequestration through increased mineral protection
Background and aimsAs a significant land carbon sink, highly acid subtropical forests in southern China continued to accumulate a significant amount...

Anamorphic chaetosphaeriaceous fungi from China
Chaetosphaeriaceae is one of the largest families in Sordariomycetes with its members commonly found on decaying leaf, fruit, branch, bark and wood...

Facets of AM Fungi in Sequestering Soil Carbon and Improving Soil Health
Soils, particularly agricultural soils, are home to a plethora of microbial communities capable of sequestering soil carbon. In this framework,...

Reduced turnover rate of topsoil organic carbon in old-growth forests: a case study in subtropical China
BackgroundOld-growth forests are irreplaceable with respect to climate change mitigation and have considerable carbon (C) sink potential in soils....

Soil bacterial and fungal communities resilience to long-term nitrogen addition in subtropical forests in China
Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition is predicted to increase, especially in the subtropics. However, the responses of soil microorganisms to...

Functional analysis of two mitogen-activated protein kinases involved in thermal resistance of the predatory mite Neoseiulus californicus (Acari: Phytoseiidae)
Predatory mites are important biological control agents used against phytophagous mites and small insects. They face various environmental pressures,...

The effects of dark treatment on photosynthesis and growth in young and mature leaves of Syzygium rehderianum
Light initiates plant photosynthesis, and plant growth depends on light. In order to explore the effects of long-term dark treatment on...

Quantifying the effects of road width on roadside vegetation and soil conditions in forests
ContextThe majority of ecological studies of roads have focused on their deleterious effects, and these preconceptions have hampered a full...
