Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) control biogeochemical cycling in terrestrial ecosystems.
However, N and P addition effects on litter decomposition, especially biological pathways in …

Aim Soil fauna, a functionally important group of soil organisms, are greatly affected by
fertilization. However, it is still debated whether and how fertilization affects the soil faunal …

Nitrogen (N) deposition plays a significant role in soil cadmium (Cd) phytoremediation, and
poplar has been considered for the remediation of contaminated soil because of its …

The increase in the nitrogen/phosphorus (N/P) ratio with rising N deposition is changing the
biodiversity and function of terrestrial ecosystems at an unprecedented speed. However, the …

In mammals, the mineral nutrient and trace elemental composition of the body-the ionome-
differs among individuals. It has been hypothesized that these differences may be related to …

The ecosystem services framework can be used as a way of balancing economic, ecological
and societal drivers in land management decision-making processes. As heathland …

We tested the long-term effects of liming on soil micro-arthropods in a stand of Scotch pine
on former drift sand in the Netherlands. To counteract the effects of acidification, liming was …

There has been a recent increase in interest on how urbanization affects soil fauna
communities. However, previous studies primarily focused on some limited land use types or …

Precipitation regime in arid and semi-arid regions is exhibiting a trend of increase in rainfall
intensity but reduction in frequency under global climate change. In addition, nitrogen (N) …

Interaction of different environmental constrains pose severe threats to plants that cannot be
predicted from individual stress exposure. In this context, mercury (Hg), as a typical toxic and …
