Grasslands are subject to climate change, such as severe drought, and an important aspect of their functioning is temporal stability in response to extreme climate events. Previous research has exp...

The rhizosphere priming effect (RPE), i.e., the acceleration of soil organic matter decomposition (SOM) by plant roots, plays a key role in the soil carbon (C) cycle and its feedback to climate cha...

A substantial amount of CO2'>22 is released into the atmosphere from the process of the high-temperature decomposition of limestone to produce lime. However, during the lifecycle of lime production...

Asexual reproduction plays a fundamental role in the structure, dynamics and persistence of perennial grasslands. Thus, assessing how asexual reproductive traits of plant communities respond to dro...

Identifying the thresholds for the positive responses of total net primary productivity (NPP) to nitrogen (N) enrichment is an essential prerequisite for predicting the benefits of N deposition on ...
