In a recent study published in Ecological Monographs, researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology Chinese Academy of Sciences and their collaborators propose a mycorrhizal dominance mechanism...

Impact of Recurrent Drought on Grassland Productivity is Mediated by Ratio of Grasses to Forbs

In view of this, Dr. LUO Wentao, associate researcher of the Eco-stoichiometry research group of the Institute of Applied Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, led a study examining grassland natur...

Study Sheds Light on the Specificity of Root Exudate Types on Soil Organic Carbon Decomposition

Soil organic carbon is critical for climate regulation and ecosystem stability. Its decomposition can be significantly influenced by plant root exudates via the priming effect. However, the underst...

Scientists Finish a Series of Research Exploring Effects of Secondary Forest Structure Regulation...

The researchers' study showed that direct sowing Korean pine seeds in secondary forests is not an effective strategy for the regeneration of Korean pines when rodents are common seed predators in t...
