Abstract The emergence of alternative stable states in forest systems has significant implications for the functioning and structure of the terrestrial biosphere, yet empirical evidence remains scarce. Here, we combine global forest biodiversity obse

Abstract One mechanism proposed to explain high species diversity in tropical systems is strong negative conspecific density dependence (CDD), which reduces recruitment of juveniles in proximity to conspecific adult plants. Although evidence shows th

Disturbances fundamentally alter ecosystem functions, yet predicting their impacts remains a key scientific challenge. While the study of disturbances is ubiquitous across many ecological disciplines, there is no agreed-upon, cross-disciplinary found

Microbial life represents the majority of Earth’s biodiversity. Across disparate disciplines from medicine to forestry, scientists continue to discover how the microbiome drives essential, macro-scale processes in plants, animals and entire ecosyst

Nitrogen reallocation during alpine plant senescence contributed to plant nutrient conservation and ecosystem nitrogen retention

Autor: Qingzhou Zhao, Gabriel Smith, Peng Wang, Lingyan Hu, Miaojun Ma, Colin Averill, Thomas Crowther, Shuijin Hu

To conserve limiting nitrogen (N) in alpine ecosystems, herbaceous plants resorb and reallocate N from senescing tissues. However, the extent of N resorption and reallocation in aboveground tissues, coarse roots, fine roots and their relative contrib
