The productivity of ecosystems and their capacity to support life depends on access to
reactive nitrogen (N). Over the past century, humans have more than doubled the global …

Human societies depend on an Earth system that operates within a constrained range of
nutrient availability, yet the recent trajectory of terrestrial nitrogen (N) availability is uncertain …

Phosphorus (P) limitation is expected to increase due to nitrogen (N)‐induced terrestrial
eutrophication, although most soils contain large P pools immobilized in minerals (Pi) and …

Nutrient availability influences virtually every aspect of an ecosystem, and is a critical
modifier of ecosystem responses to global change. Although this crucial role of nutrient …

Elucidating the variation of allocation pattern of ecosystem net primary productivity (NPP)
and its underlying mechanisms is critically important for understanding the changes of …

Aim Climate change intensifies the hydrological cycle and consequently alters precipitation
regimes. Accurately assessing future carbon (C) budgets depends on understanding the …

Temporal stability of primary productivity is the key to stable provisioning of ecosystem
services to human beings. Yet, the effects of various global changes on grassland stability …

Determining the abundance of N isotope (δ15N) in natural environments is a simple but
powerful method for providing integrated information on the N cycling dynamics and status …

Precipitation alteration and nitrogen (N) deposition caused by anthropogenic activities could
profoundly affect the structure and functioning of plant communities in arid ecosystems …

A warming climate is expected to perturb the hydrological cycle, resulting in changes to both
the frequency and duration of drought, especially in arid and semiarid grassland. Although …
