Soils are the most heterogeneous parts of the biosphere, with an extremely high
differentiation of properties and processes within nano-to macroscales. The spatial and …

Ecological stoichiometry is an effective tool for analyzing and explaining changes and
connections between plants and the environment. However, the changes in ecological …

The idea of linking stressors, services providing units (SPUs), and ecosystem services (ES)
is ubiquitous in the literature, although is currently not applied in areas contaminated with …

The stability of a plant community is defined as its ability to resist and be resilient to changes.
Plant community stability can be driven by a range of external perturbations as well as by …

Woody encroachment has been a major land cover change in dryland ecosystems during
