1 To ascertain the influence of different plant species on nitrogen (N) cycling, we performed a long-term garden experiment with six grasses and five dicots with different potential growth rates, that are adapted to habitats with different ...

Fine roots and above-ground litterfall play a pivotal role in carbon dynamics in forests. Nonetheless, direct estimation of stocks of fine roots remains methodologically challenging. Models are thus widely used to estimate these stocks and ...
Cross-seasonal legacy effects of arthropod community on plant fitness in perennial plants [0.03%]
多年生植物中节肢动物群落对植物适应性跨季节遗留效应

Jeltje M Stam et al.
In perennial plants, interactions with other community members during the vegetative growth phase may influence community assembly during subsequent reproductive years and may influence plant fitness. It is well-known that plant responses t...
Relationships between plant traits, soil properties and carbon fluxes differ between monocultures and mixed communities in temperate grassland [0.03%]
温带草地单作和混生群落的植物性状、土壤理化性质与碳通量的关系研究

The use of plant traits to predict ecosystem functions has been gaining growing attention. Above-ground plant traits, such as leaf nitrogen (N) content and specific leaf area (SLA), have been shown to strongly relate to ecosystem productivi...
Testing the Distraction Hypothesis: Do extrafloral nectaries reduce ant-pollinator conflict? [0.03%]
检验“注意力分散假说”：额外地蜜是否减少了蚂蚁和传粉者的冲突？

Ant guards protect plants from herbivores, but can also hinder pollination by damaging reproductive structures and/or repelling pollinators. Natural selection should favour the evolution of plant traits that deter ants from visiting flowers...
When do we have the power to detect biological interactions in spatial point patterns? [0.03%]

Uncovering the roles of biotic interactions in assembling and maintaining species-rich communities remains a major challenge in ecology. In plant communities, interactions between individuals of different species are expected to generate po...

1. Species are shifting their ranges, for example to higher elevations, in response to climate change. Different plant species and soil microbiota will likely shift their ranges at different rates, giving rise to novel communities of plants...
Intransitivity increases plant functional diversity by limiting dominance in drylands worldwide [0.03%]
次序性通过限制干旱地区的主导物种来增加植物功能多样性

Hugo Saiz et al.
1. Biotic interactions are key determinants of plant community structure. Indirect interactions such as intransitivity (i.e. in the absence of competitive hierarchies among species) have been hypothesized to benefit diversity within plant c...
Cross-scale interactions affect tree growth and intrinsic water use efficiency and highlight the importance of spatial context in managing forests under global change [0.03%]
跨尺度交互作用影响树木生长和固有水分利用效率并强调了空间背景在气候变化下森林管理中的重要性

1. We investigated the potential of cross-scale interactions to affect the outcome of density reduction in a large-scale silvicultural experiment to better understand options for managing forests under climate change. 2. We measured tree gr...
Poor plant performance under simulated climate change is linked to mycorrhizal responses in a semiarid shrubland [0.03%]
模拟气候变迁下植物表现欠佳与半干旱灌木丛中菌根响应有关
Lupe León-Sánchez,Emilio Nicolás,Marta Goberna et al.
Lupe León-Sánchez et al.
Warmer and drier conditions associated with ongoing climate change will increase abiotic stress for plants and mycorrhizal fungi in drylands worldwide, thereby potentially reducing vegetation cover and productivity and increasing the risk o...
