Plant–plant interactions are dynamic and complicated processes that strongly influence soil
nutrient cycling in ecosystems. Climate warming-induced drought stress and the duration of …

Intercropping, the simultaneous production of two or more crops on the same field, offers
opportunities for sustainable agricultural intensification by providing higher yield per unit of …

Maize–soybean strip intercropping can effectively alleviate arable land competition, improve
land output, and be conducive to the sustainable development. The key to achieve these …

As a relatively successful agroforestry system, whether the addition of more intercropped
species in the rubber–tea agroforestry system extends the benefits is still unknown but worth …

Plant roots interact with rhizosphere microorganisms to accelerate soil organic matter (SOM)
mineralization for nutrient acquisition. Root‐mediated changes in SOM mineralization …

The frequent occurrence of extreme rainfall events may greatly affect soil organic carbon
(SOC) fractions and carbon (C) pool of wet meadow in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) …

As a key component of terrestrial ecosystems, soil interacts directly with aboveground
vegetation. Evaluating soil quality is therefore of great significance to comprehensively …

Abstract Theory suggests that intraspecific trait variability may promote species coexistence
when competitively inferior species have higher intraspecific trait variability than their …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi mediated-litter decomposition is essential for soil carbon and
nutrient cycling. Plant competition profoundly influences soil C, nutrients, glomalin-related …

Abstract Model predictions indicate that extreme drought events will occur more frequently
by the end of this century, with major implications for terrestrial ecosystem functions such as …
