Plant Community Nutrition Differently Respond to Experimental Drought along Aridity gradient in G...

As a consequence of global warming and associated climate change, the drought events and frequents was predicted to increase in the future. These changes will showed great impacts on grasslands str...

Researchers Reveal the Indirect Effects of Nitrogen Deposition on Community-level Litter Chemical...

Litter chemical traits are one of the dominant controls on litter decomposition. Increasing atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition is expected to alter litter chemical traits at the community level in...

Scientists Find Effect of Mixed Inorganic and Organic Nitrogen Addition on Soil Microbial Biomass...

Soil phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient element that plant need for growth, which can be affected by the increasing atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition and the changes in soil microbial biomas...

Researchers Reveal the Mechanisms Determining the Effectiveness of Soil Electrokinetic Remediation

Electrokinetic (EK) remediation technology is a method of remediating heavy-metal contaminated soil by applying a low-density direct current across the soil. The EK process mainly involves two proc...

Researchers Reveal Effects of Different Body-sized Mammals on Community and Trait Structure of Gr...

Mammalian herbivores (e.g. cattle, sheep, deer, rabbits) can affect plant diversity, vegetation structure and ecosystem productivity. The changes in vegetation characteristics may in turn affect ab...
