Nitrogen (N) deposition affects plant growth and interspecific interaction. This study aimed to explore the effect of N on eco-physiological interactions between two tree species dominating in subtropical forests. A greenhouse experiment was conducted for 6 months which conifer Cunninghamia lanceolata broadleaved Phoebe chekiangensis were grown monocultures a mixture under levels addition: 0 45...

Belowground root biomass plays an essential role in the mangrove ecosystem as potential carbon storage, nutrient gain, or sediment accumulation yet is still overlooked. Therefore, estimation of necessary. The objective was to determine and compare belowground at natural planted ecosystem. We also measured forest structure aboveground biomass. This study conducted four stations Pramuka Island, P...

the rangelands, as one of the largest dynamic biomes in the world,have very capabilities. regulation of greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere,particularly carbon dioxide as the main greenhouse gases, is one of these cases.the attention to rangeland, as cheep and reachable resources to sequestrate thecarbon dioxide, increases after the industrial revolution. rangelands comprise thelarge par...

Most organisms engage in beneficial interactions with other species; however, little is known regarding how individuals balance the competing demands of multiple mutualisms. Here we examine three-way interactions among a widespread grass, Schedonorus phoenix, a protective fungal endophyte aboveground, Neotyphodium coenophialum, and nutritional symbionts (arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi) belowgroun...

Global climate change has generally modified net primary production (NPP) which leads to increasing litter inputs in some ecosystems. Therefore, assessing the impacts of increasing litter inputs on soil nutrients, plant growth and ecological carbon (C) : nitrogen (N) : phosphorus (P) stoichiometry is critical for an understanding of C, N and P cycling and their feedback processes to climate cha...

Patterns of biomass and carbon (C) storage distribution across Chinese pine (Pinus tabulaeformis) natural secondary forests are poorly documented. The objectives of this study were to examine the biomass and C pools of the major ecosystem components in a replicated age sequence of P. tabulaeformis secondary forest stands in Northern China. Within each stand, biomass of above- and belowground tr...
