Relative effects of phylogeny, biological characters and environments on leaf traits in shrub biomes across central Inner Mongolia, China Aims Understanding the drivers for leaf traits is critical to improving our predictions on ecosystems' responses to global changes. Geographic patterns of ... Liu,Wa...
(2) Approximately 80% of the highly co-citation literature concentrates on elucidating scientific knowledge, particularly the impact of human activities on vegetation characteristics, grassland communities, and ecosystems. Research hotspots predominantly encompass European grasslands, North America’s Great ...
Different Effects of Regional Species Pool on Plant Diversity between Forest and Grassland Biomes in Arid Northwest China. Species pool hypothesis is broadly known and frequently tested in various regions and vegetation types. However it has not been tested in the arid Xinjiang... Liping,Li,Yining...

Instead, we evidence that mechanisms underpinning this positive relation may differ quite clearly between forest biomes and that it can even reverse as a function of climate20,29. Previous findings in north America support the idea that opposing causal paths between species richness and productivity ...
There is a close correlation between mean annual net primary productivity (NPP) of different vegetation biomes and their mean annual soil respiration rates, with soil respiration averaging 24% higher than mean annual NPP. This difference represents a minimum estimate of the contribution of root ...
relationship between plants' respiratory metabolism rates and nitrogen contents. To test the hypothesis that there may be a similar relationship between plants' respiratory metabolism and phosphorus contents we used data obtained from 150 laboratory and field-grown seedlings representing 30 herbaceous ...
Little is known about the relationship between soil microbial communities and soil properties in southern boreal forests. To further our knowledge about that relationship, we compared the soil samples in southern boreal forests of the Greater Khingan Mountains—the southernmost boreal forest biome in the...
