DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4856
Abstract: Abstract Much theoretical evidence has demonstrated that a trade‐off between competitive and dispersal ability plays an important role in facilitating species coexistence. However, experimental evidence from natural communities is still rare. Here, we tested the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3792
Abstract: The frequency and severity of extreme weather events are increasing and expected to increase more in the future together with global change. However, how extreme events and global change factors interactively influence community structures and… read more here.

Flowering phenology in alpine grassland strongly responds to shifts in snowmelt but weakly to summer drought
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Alpine Botany"
DOI: 10.1007/s00035-021-00252-z
Abstract: Alpine plants complete their seasonal phenological cycle during two to three snow-free months. Under climate change, snowmelt advances and the risk of summer droughts increases. Yet, photoperiodism may prevent alpine plants from benefiting from an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.agrformet.2021.108451
Abstract: Abstract Ecosystem respiration (Re) and methane (CH4) fluxes are two important soil-atmosphere carbon exchange processes that have been well documented at the local scale. However, the spatial patterns and controlling factors of these processes remain… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.eja.2021.126306
Abstract: Highlights • Earlier onset of pre-alpine cut grassland growing season entails shifts to earlier cutting dates and more cuts per year.• Dynamic simulation of cutting dates can tackle these shifts if temperature and soil moisture… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envexpbot.2020.103991
Abstract: Abstract Root trait dynamics can reflect the adjustment in the strategy of plant roots in resource acquisition and energy storage when responding to climatic fluctuations. Under global change, the responses of root traits in climate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2020.115016
Abstract: Soil acidification has been expanding in many areas of Asia due to increasing reactive nitrogen (N) inputs and industrial activities. While the detrimental effects of acidification on forests have been extensively studied, less attention has… read more here.
