Background:Grasslands provide a wide range of ecosystem services(ESs).However,there is currently no method for easily diagnosing the level of ESs produced.Our aim was to develop ES indicators based on botanical survey...

Seagrass meadows are generally diverse in China and have become important ecosystem with essential functions.However,the seagrass distribution across the seawaters of China has not been evaluated,and the magnitude and...
Changes in soil chemistry after invasion by bracken(Pteridium aquilinum)have been studied in heathlands,but comparable studies in meadows are lacking.We investigated if bracken invasion into P-deficient meadows alters...
Seagrass meadows provide important ecological functions,particularly by serving as carbon sinks and breeding grounds for marine species.Climate change has threatened seagrass communities,causing their replacement,loss...
Thank the members of the research team for their kind support in the experiment,and thank the Science and Technology Department of Qinghai Provincial for the funding of the application basic project(2019-ZJ-7035);Discipline Innovation and Introducing Talents Program of Higher Education Institutions(the 111 Project,D18013);Changjiang Scholars and Innovation Team Development plan(IRT_17R62).
Our objectives are to examine the effects of hummock-depression spatial heterogeneity on plant communities and soil properties,and to understand the process of maintaining and adjusting microtopography-mediated hydrol...
