A mechanistic understanding of plant photosynthetic response is needed to reliably predict
changes in terrestrial carbon (C) gain under conditions of chronically elevated atmospheric …

Aim Soil fauna has a wide range of ecosystem functions. Anthropogenic atmospheric
nitrogen (N) deposition affects the structure and function of soil fauna by changing the …

Plant secondary metabolites (SMs) play crucial roles in plant‐environment interactions and
contribute greatly to human health. Global climate changes are expected to dramatically …

Temporal stability of primary productivity is the key to stable provisioning of ecosystem
services to human beings. Yet, the effects of various global changes on grassland stability …

Plants modulate their phosphorus (P) acquisition strategies (ie, change in root morphology,
exudate composition, and mycorrhizal symbiosis) to adapt to varying soil P availability …

In most plant communities, the net effect of nitrogen enrichment is an increase in plant
productivity. However, nitrogen enrichment also has been shown to decrease species …

Introduction Belowground bud banks (or bud-bearing organs) underlie grassland
regeneration and community succession following ecosystem perturbations. Disturbances of …

The nitrogen‑phosphorus (NP) imbalance induced by N enrichment has received increasing
concerns, because N: P ratios play a critical role in driving many fundamental ecological …

Climate warming and human disturbance are supposed to have severely affected the alpine
grasslands on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP), a region where the extremely harsh and …

Experiments comparing diploids with polyploids and in single grassland sites show that
nitrogen and/or phosphorus availability influences plant growth and community composition …
