Tracking spatio-temporal dynamics of harmful algal blooms using long-term MODIS observations of Chaohu Lake in China from 2000 to 2021
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have long been a critical threat to environmental safety and health, especially in inland lakes with rapidly growing socioeconomic development. Although satellite remote sensing provides an ...
The next step for China's national park management: Integrating ecosystem services into space boundary delimitation
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
The contradiction between ecological conservation and economic development posed significant challenges to the management of National Parks. From the perspective of Ecological Economics, the cause of the contradiction is ...
Photodegradation and Its Effect on Plant Litter Decomposition in Terrestrial Ecosystems: A Systematic Review
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article Review)
Photodegradation is an important mechanism that affects carbon and nutrient cycling; a significant amount of data has been reported previously. The present review includes the effect of a wider spectrum of solar radiation ...
Globally invariant metabolism but density-diversity mismatch in springtails
(
Nature Research
, 2023 , Article)
Soil life supports the functioning and biodiversity of terrestrial ecosystems. Springtails (Collembola) are among the most abundant soil arthropods regulating soil fertility and flow of energy through above- and belowground ...
Aquaculture sediments amended with biochar improved soil health and plant growth in a degraded soil
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Sustainable and safe management of aquaculture sediments is of great concern. Biochar (BC) and fishpond sediments (FPS) are rich in organic carbon and nutrients and thus can be used as soil amendments; however, it is not ...
Spatial heterogeneity analysis of matching degree between endangered plant diversity and ecosystem services in Xishuangbanna
(
Springer
, 2023 , Article)
Biodiversity and ecosystem services (ESs) are closely linked. Human activities have caused critical damage to the habitat and ecosystem function of organisms, leading to decline in global biodiversity and ecosystem services. ...
Plant traits poorly predict winner and loser shrub species in a warming tundra biome
(
Springer
, 2023 , Article)
Climate change is leading to species redistributions. In the tundra biome, shrubs are generally expanding, but not all tundra shrub species will benefit from warming. Winner and loser species, and the characteristics that ...
Bacterial community structure and predicted function in the rhizosphere of wild and cultivated date palms: Effects of Fertilizers on Composition and Functionality
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
This study investigated bacterial diversity in date palm rhizosphere and assessed the influence of different fertilizers on diversity using metagenomics. A total of 6356 Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) and 1164425 ...
Effects of incorporating pine-woodchip biochar with reduced NP fertilizer on calcareous soil characteristics, organic carbon, NPK availability, and maize productivity
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Purpose: One of the successful and sustainable methods to restore low-fertility soils over the past few decades has been the integrated effect of biochar made from various feedstocks and chemical fertilizers. However, the ...
Climatic drivers and ecological implications of variation in the time interval between leaf-out and flowering
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Leaf-out and flowering in any given species have evolved to occur in a predetermined sequence, with the inter-stage time interval optimized to maximize plant fitness. Although warming-induced advances of both leaf-out and ...
