The strategic goals of the United Nations and the Aichi Targets for biodiversity conservation
have not been met. Instead, biodiversity has continued to rapidly decrease, especially in …

Heavy metals (HMs) normally occur in nature and are rapidly released into ecosystems by
anthropogenic activities, leading to a series of threats to plant productivity as well as human …

Plant-soil feedbacks (PSFs) are interactions among plants, soil organisms, and abiotic soil
conditions that influence plant performance, plant species diversity, and community …

Soil phosphatase enzymes are produced by plant roots and microorganisms and play a key
role in the cycling of phosphorus (P), an often‐limiting element in terrestrial ecosystems. The …

The availability of carbon (C) from high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and
anthropogenic release of nitrogen (N) is increasing, but these increases are not paralleled …

Plant diversity and biogeochemical cycles are rapidly changing in response to exotic plant
species invasion. However, there are conflicting conclusions regarding the quantification of …

Studies on ecological stoichiometry (ES) have increased rapidly in number in recent years.
Continuous exploration of classical concepts such as the growth-rate hypothesis (GRH),) …

Global change impacts on biogeochemical cycles have been widely studied, but our
understanding of whether the responses of plant elemental composition to global change …

Vegetation degradation, due to climate change and human activities, changes the biomass,
