Large zooplankton can efficiently graze on algae and thereby improve water quality. However, zooplankton body size is considered to decrease with decr......
Water use efficiency (WUE), the carbon uptake per unit of water consumption, is a critical indicator of the coupling between water and carbon cycles i......
The terrestrial methane budget varies between different vegetation types and soil conditions and is highly uncertain for alpine grasslands. This work ......
Nitrogen fixation continually transforms atmospheric nitrogen (N-2) into biologically available nitrogen in the oceans, which actively sustains marine......
Interactions between plants and soil microbial communities underpin soil processes and forest ecosystem function, but the links between tree diversity......
Plant nitrogen (N) uptake is a critical ecosystem function, especially when terrestrial ecosystems are threatened worldwide by increasing anthropogeni......
Soil fungi are a major factor maintaining plant diversity and productivity, but the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. Based on a biod......
Plant functional traits shape many ecosystem processes, including carbon sequestration in vegetation and soil. The shifts of trait-based indices can r......
The Chukchi Sea is the inflow shelf between the Arctic and the Pacific. A comprehensive research on algal dynamics, physical-biological interactions, ......
Land degradation and restoration strongly influence terrestrial soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics. However, the underlying mechanisms are not well un......
Environmental change factors can significantly affect the composition and physiology of soil microbes. How the resulting changes in the community comp......
