Widespread evidence shows that local species richness (α-diversity) loss hampers the
biomass production and stability of ecosystems. β-Diversity, namely the variation of species …

The 21st century has seen an acceleration of global change, including climate change,
elevated carbon dioxide, nitrogen deposition, and land-use intensification, which poses a …

Research into species composition and diversity in forest systems with successional stages
can provide a scientific basis for optimal allocation and regulation of community structure …

Plant and microbial diversity are key to determine ecosystem functioning. Despite the well‐
known role of local‐scale α diversity in affecting vegetation biomass, the effects of …

Abstract Above-Ground Biomass (AGB) is a key indicator of rangeland health and
productivity, as well as ecosystem conservation and resource sustainability. Estimating …

研究河西走廊荒漠植物多样性结构特征及其对环境因子的响应有利于保护干旱区植物多样性,
维持荒漠生态系统稳定. 沿河西走廊由东南至西北方向自然降水递减梯度设置样带 …

Increasing eutrophication poses a considerable threat to freshwater ecosystems, which are
closely associated with human well-being. As important functional entities for freshwater …

In this study, we aimed to assess the impact of vegetation restoration measures on the soil
microbial community in degraded land via assessing the structural changes and diversity of …

Although the diversity–disturbance relationship has been extensively studied, the
differences in responses of taxonomic vs. functional diversity to natural disturbances (ie, fire) …

Background Multiple components of biodiversity are excellent predictors of precipitation-
induced changes in ecosystem function. However, the importance of differing scales (alpha …
