Grasslands play an important role in global nutrient cycling. Plant nutrient status is important controller for several fundamental ecological processes and could provide key scientific guidance fo...

Human activities have substantially altered global nitrogen (N) cycling, resulting in large amounts of reactive N being deposited into terrestrial ecosystems.

Forest is the main body of the land ecosystem and plays an important role in global carbon cycle.

Currently, investigating the structure-function relationships in ecological communities remain a major goal for ecologists.

The excessive application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer causes N loss from agricultural soil, through leaching and gaseous losses, such as nitrous oxide (N2O), which have a negative effect on the envi...
