Over the last twenty years, phenology—the study of seasonal life cycle events—has
emerged as a key subfield of global change biology. Phenology provides an integrated …

Background The frequency and intensity of droughts are expected to increase under global
change, driven by anthropogenic climate change and water diversion. Precipitation is …

Nutrient enrichment is a major global change component that often disrupts the relationship
between aboveground biodiversity and ecosystem functions by promoting species …

Understanding the environmental response patterns of riverine microbiota is essential for
predicting the potential impact of future environmental change on river ecosystems …

How warming and invertebrate fauna concurrently influence litter carbon and nutrient
turnover in alpine meadow is still poorly known. Using a litterbag technique, we evaluated …

Climate warming has induced pronounced shifts in the phenology of alpine plants
worldwide, yet the impact of these changes on plant reproduction remains unclear, although …

Warming can decrease feeding activity of soil organisms and affect biogeochemical cycles.
The ant Formica manchu is active on the nest surface and prefers a hot, dry environment; …

Understanding the sensitivity of spring leaf-out dates to temperature (ST) is integral to
predicting phenological responses to climate warming and the consequences for global …

The sensitivity of soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition in seasonally frozen soils, such
as alpine ecosystems, to climate warming is a major uncertainty in global carbon cycling …

Warming often stimulates methane (CH 4) emissions from rice paddies, one of the largest
anthropogenic sources of CH 4 emissions. However, the responses of methanogenic and …
