DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3741
Abstract: The ecological niche is a fundamental concept to understand species coexistence in natural communities. The recently developed framework of the multidimensional stoichiometric niche (MSN) characterizes species niches using chemical elements in living organisms. Despite the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00374-020-01436-1
Abstract: Biochar application is perceived as a promising agricultural technology, but risk evaluation on the soil ecosystem has focused exclusively on soil microbes, whether microfood-web is likewise influenced by biochar remains unclear. We carried out a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11676-021-01368-y
Abstract: Vegetation types alter soil ecosystems by changing soil fauna community activities and soil physical–chemical properties. However, it is unclear how tree species (natural forest, native and exotic tree plantations) promote changes in the soil ecosystem,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.apsoil.2020.103611
Abstract: Abstract Litter decomposition is a major component of the nutrient cycle in forest ecosystems. It is generally accepted that higher initial quality and litter mixture contribute to increased mass loss, and the effects of soil… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geoderma.2020.114703
Abstract: Abstract Traditionally, experiments testing the impacts of nitrogen (N) deposition on ecosystem processes have been conducted by adding N directly to forest floors, yet, in reality, atmospheric N passes through the canopy layer before it… read more here.
