Disentangling variation patterns and partitioning strategies of net primary productivity: insights from cool-temperate forests in South Korea
Abstract Background Understanding the processes underlying carbon storage and balance is critical for equipping the terrestrial biosphere to respond to contemporary climatic challenges. However, ecosystem-level estimates and distribution of net primary productivity (NPP), a metric for evaluating…

Intertwining macro-drivers to explore hotspots of wildfire occurrence in Southern Europe
Abstract Background Wildfires in Southern Europe arise from interacting climatic, ecological, and socio-ecological mechanisms. Drought enhances fuel desiccation, land cover change reshapes vegetation flammability, and the expansion of the wildland–urban interface (WUI) increases ignition pressure…

Recovery of soil organic carbon stocks in old-fields of the Río de la Plata Grasslands: an empirical and simulation-based approach
Abstract Background The Río de la Plata Grasslands (RPG) experienced a substantial agricultural expansion and intensification over the last three decades, with considerable impacts on C stocks among other ecosystem services. Converting agricultural land back to grassland is thus proposed as a…

Contrasting elevational patterns in microbial necromass carbon content and contribution across soil depths of a subtropical alpine ecosystem
Abstract Background Microbial necromass carbon (MNC) is a critical component of persistent soil organic carbon (SOC). However, the elevational patterns of MNC accumulation and its contribution to SOC across different soil layers remain poorly understood in climate-sensitive alpine ecosystems. We…

Urban land use optimization for improving carbon storage and mitigating surface runoff: a case study of Busan
Abstract Background Urban land use and land cover changes (LUCC) under rapid urbanization and increasing climate extremes pose multidimensional ecological risks. Because afforestation can increase carbon storage while reducing surface runoff regulation, we apply the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic…

Linking vulnerability and resilience for climate change adaptation: a GeoAI-integrated assessment across Europe
Abstract Background Climate change is reshaping key ecological processes such as drought cycles, heat stress, disturbance regimes, and air quality regulation. These changes generate cascading impacts on ecosystems and the human societies that depend on them. There is therefore a pressing need for…

Linking species and functional diversity to leaf traits during sand-dune stabilization in the Mu Us Desert
Abstract Background Understanding the dynamics of species and functional diversity and their interrelationships during vegetation restoration is essential for assessing the effectiveness of ecosystem restoration. Yet, the mechanistic links between species diversity and functional diversity during…

Effects of litter inputs on soil aggregate C turnover and flow differ among three natural forest ecosystems along a climate gradient in China
Abstract Background Plant litter input plays an important role in controlling soil organic carbon (SOC) turnover and the flow of carbon (C) among different pools. However, the relative effects of aboveground and belowground root litter on soil aggregate C dynamics across different forest types and…

Amur tiger urine enhances the foraging behavior of three major small-bodied mesopredator species in northeastern China
Abstract Background Apex predators exert dual effects on mesopredators, including both suppression through lethal encounters and fear, as well as facilitation through providing food via prey remains. While large-scale studies on how apex predators influence mesopredator distributions are abundant…

Forest gaps amplify seasonal turnover and decouple microbial stability from functional potential in a karst forest
Abstract Background Forest gaps represent small-scale disturbances that influence belowground ecological processes, yet most studies adopt a static perspective and rarely consider how their effects are modulated by seasonal climatic variation. Methods We investigated the seasonal dynamics of soil…

Greater moisture dependence of the soil respiration response to temperature under relatively lower soil moisture conditions in a temperate deciduous broadleaved forest
Abstract Background Climate warming is altering precipitation regimes and increasing the frequency of extreme rainfall events. Soil respiration (Rs) is sensitive to these changes and remains a major uncertainty factor in predicting forest carbon cycling. However, it is not yet clear whether the…

Plant functional trait and plant–microbe network β-diversity dominate spatial turnover of ecosystem multifunctionality in subtropical forests
Abstract Background Intensified human activities and climate change are accelerating biodiversity loss and the degradation of ecosystem functions. While the positive role of local (α-scale) biodiversity in sustaining ecosystem multifunctionality is well established, its drivers at broader spatial…

Cd immobilization and enhanced plant photosynthesis in wetlands by sulfur-modified biochar converted from Spartina alterniflora
Abstract Background Converting the invasive species Spartina alterniflora into sulfur-modified biochar (SBC) offers a dual solution for managing biological invasions and remediating contaminated wetlands. This study investigated the efficacy and underlying mechanisms of SBC in remediating…

Effects of chronic experimental N deposition on northern hardwood forests fade after cessation of N additions
Abstract Background Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition has the potential to affect forest ecosystem carbon (C) storage and sequestration both positively and negatively. Effects on aboveground biomass increment seem to be largely positive, but the impact of elevated N inputs on soil microbial…

Optimization, applicability, and mechanisms of potential evapotranspiration models for meadow wetland ecosystems in semi-arid region
Abstract Background Arid and semi-arid regions cover more than 30% of the Earth’s land area, and play an increasingly important role in the global water cycle. Accurate estimation of potential evapotranspiration (PET) is crucial for understanding regional water cycle patterns, developing…

Driving force analysis of soil quality across China through an explainable deep learning framework
Abstract Background Soil is crucial for human survival and sustainable development. However, research on large-scale soil quality assessment and its variability mechanism remains largely unexplored. This study introduces a novel Property-Function-Quality (PFQ) framework to evaluate soil functions…

An 1800-year record of Austrocedrus chilensis growth reveals an unprecedented recent decline in the Patagonian forest–steppe ecotone
Abstract Background Recent decades brought persistent warming and declining precipitation to the North Patagonian Andes, raising concerns about the capacity of temperate mountain forests to withstand climate stress at the semiarid forest–steppe ecotone. We assess whether current growth declines in…

Subtropical forests exhibit contrasting resistance and resilience to unexpected extreme ice storms
Abstract Background Extreme ice storms (EIS) can severely disrupt forest productivity and stability, yet their differential impacts across forest types remain poorly understood, particularly in subtropical regions. Here, we assessed changes in gross primary productivity (GPP), resistance (Rt), and…

Butterfly diversity and community structure across three vegetation zones in Hamericho Mountain Forest, Central Ethiopia
Abstract Background Montane forest ecosystems are critical for biodiversity conservation, yet baseline data on butterfly diversity in many Ethiopian highlands remain lacking. This study provides the first baseline inventory of butterfly diversity in Hamericho Mountain Forest, a threatened…

Performance of native Neltuma species and provenances for the productive restoration of salinized irrigated drylands in the Cuyo region, Argentina
Abstract Background Soil salinization threatens the sustainability of agroecosystems, particularly in arid regions where irrigated lands become unsuitable for conventional agriculture. Productive restoration integrates the recovery of ecosystem structure and function with agroecological systems…
