2024-08-25The global fate of inorganic phosphorus fertilizers added to terrestrial ecosystemsChinese Academy of Sciences built a global database of the fate of Pi fertilizers[the percentage of Pi fertilizer taken up by plants,the percentage of Pi fertilizer stored in the soil,and the percentage of Pi fertilizer lost,]. Phosphorus (P) is essential for the growth, functioning, and reproduction of all life on Earth. To meet the increasing demand for food and wood production, the global annual inorganic P (Pi) fertilizer consumption has increased from 5.0 Tg (1 Tg = 1012 g) in 1961 to approximately 25 Tg in 2020, and is expected to reach 27 Tg in 2050. Phosphorus ...Read More -
2024-08-20Atmospheric nitrogen deposition changes silicon cycle in subtropical forestSilicon (Si) is the second−most−abundant element in the earth's crust, which facilitates plant growth and defense and is closely associated with the carbon (C) cycle of terrestrial ecosystems. The absorption and utilization of Si by plants affect the biogeochemical cycle of Si and its coupling with C cycle. However, potential mechanisms by whi...Read More -

2024-07-27South China Botanical Garden reveals the mechanism of forest types regulating soil organic carbon compounds in response to exogenous phosphorus additionTropical forests are sensitive to exogenous nutrient input. The relative availability of phosphorus (P) compared to nitrogen (N) thus plays a vital role in tropical carbon (C) budget, yet how nutrient availability regulates the conversion between sink and source in tropical forest soil organic carbon (SOC) remains uncertain. Through the biochemi...Read More -

2024-07-14How to predict plant leaf damage under heat waves? An eco-physiological explorationDamage in plants under natural heat waves is still unclear .Therefore , accurately assessing plant thermal risk is essential for predicting plant.Heat tolerance , that is , evergreen species with higher leaf construction costs , which exhibited higher leaf heat tolerance than deciduous species ( Figure.Deciduous urban woody species based on 18 l... “The era of global warming has ended; the era of global boiling has arrived.” António Guterres, UN secretary-general, said in July 2023. In recent years, we have directly experienced the increased frequency and intensity of heatwave events, which not only affect our daily life, but also seriously impact plant growth and survival. Urban plants...Read More
