Precipitation changes modify C, N, and P cycles, which regulate the functions and structure
of terrestrial ecosystems. Although altered precipitation affects above‐and belowground C …

Grazing regime is the most important factor that alters nutrient cycling in grassland
ecosystems. Grazing exclusion has been used for restoration of degraded natural …

Abstract Background and Aims Global changes (precipitation changes and nutrient
deposition) profoundly impact structure and function of steppe ecosystem. However, it is …

Nutrient resorption is a key strategy of perennial plants for conservation and efficient use of
nutrients. Previous studies show that semi-arid steppe may maintain its nutrient resorption …

Background Inter-and intraspecific variation in plant traits play an important role in grassland
community assembly under global change scenarios. However, explorations of how these …

Global warming and nitrogen (N) deposition are known to unbalance the stoichiometry of
carbon (C), N, and phosphorus (P) in terrestrial plants, but it is unclear how water availability …

Excessive nitrogen (N) inputs shift grassland productivity from nitrogen (N) to phosphorus
(P) limitation. However, how plant nutrient concentrations and stoichiometric dynamics at …

Exploring the adaptation strategies of plants under stressful environments from an
ecological stoichiometry perspective is a critical but underexplored research topic, and multi …

Elemental stoichiometry has recently been integrated with trait diversity metrics to explore
the effects of relative balance of multiple elements on environmental fitness of species from …

Community weighted mean trait, ie, functional composition, has been extensively used for
upscaling of individual traits to the community functional attributes and ecosystem …
