The biogeochemical niche (BN) hypothesis posits that each species has a specific elemental composition. However, the BN of roots and its interaction with leaf BN have largely been neglected until no...

Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition can alleviate N limitation and stimulate plant growth in many terrestrial ecosystems. While theoretical models often emphasize phosphorus limitations as a const.....

Context Forest scientists are challenged to identify and propose evidence-based silvicultural options to mitigate the impacts of drought events induced by climate change. For example, it has been sugg...

Nature Communications - This study present a strategy involving construction of 22,821 photovoltaic, onshore-wind, and offshore-wind plants in 192 countries worldwide under cost minimization,...

Purpose of Review The elemental composition of organisms (the elementome) strongly determines their functional traits and their functioning. Global change presents significant potential impacts on for...

The primary mechanism driving plant species loss after nitrogen (N) addition has been often hypothesized to be asymmetric competition for light, resul…

High net primary production and low soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition rates ensure that mangroves are important carbon sink likely to be disturb…

The authors found the broad applicability of biogeochemical niche hypothesis and the relationship between biogeochemical niche and morphological niche in different plant organs at a continental scale...

An in-depth understanding of local plant community assembly is critical to direct conservation efforts to promising areas and increase the efficiency …

Soil minerals and glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP), as key soil binding agents, play a crucial role in enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) sequest…
