Abiotic and biotic controls of soil dissolved organic nitrogen along a precipitation gradient on the Tibetan plateau

Lili Jiang et al.

Summary: The study found significant variations in soil DON concentration across different alpine ecosystems on the Tibetan Plateau, with precipitation and plant biomass input playing a major role. The percentage of DON in TDN also varied significantly among different vegetation types, indicating varying rates of DON turnover into inorganic nitrogen in different systems.

Plant diversity and litter accumulation mediate the loss of foliar endophyte fungal richness following nutrient addition

Jeremiah A. Henning et al.

Summary: The diversity of foliar fungal endophytes is influenced by the accumulation of plant litter and loss of plant diversity due to nutrients, rather than a direct effect. Elemental nutrients indirectly reduce endophyte diversity by impacting the local plant community, highlighting the importance of predicting symbiont community responses in a changing global environment.

Common Species Stability and Species Asynchrony Rather than Richness Determine Ecosystem Stability Under Nitrogen Enrichment

Fangfang Ma et al.

Summary: Global nitrogen deposition generally reduces ecosystem stability, with the main mechanisms underlying ecosystem stability shifting under different nitrogen addition rates. This challenges traditional knowledge and highlights the potential impact of continuous nitrogen deposition on ecosystem functions and services in alpine meadows.

Mycorrhizal suppression and phosphorus addition influence the stability of plant community composition and function in a temperate steppe

Gaowen Yang et al.

Summary: The research found that nutrient enrichment can reduce ecosystem stability by altering plant-soil interactions, leading to changes in plant community composition and productivity. Mycorrhizal suppression and phosphorus addition were tested to observe their effects on functional and compositional stability of plant communities. The study highlighted the importance of intact AM fungal communities in reducing community variance in primary productivity and promoting compositional resistance.

Mobilization of soil phosphate after 8 years of warming is linked to plant phosphorus-acquisition strategies in an alpine meadow on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Jun Zhou et al.

Summary: The study in alpine meadows at 4635 m on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau finds that phosphorus (P) is crucial for ecosystem productivity, with mobilized 'calcium-bound inorganic P' (Ca-P-i) being the main source of plant-available P after warming, while organic P plays a minor role. Additionally, the release of carboxylates by plants is a key mechanism of Ca-P-i mobilization.

Decoupling of nitrogen and phosphorus in dominant grass species in response to long-term nitrogen addition in an Alpine Grassland in Central Asia

Yuan Su et al.

Summary: Increased nitrogen availability resulting from fertilizer use, urbanization, and livestock cultivation affects the biogeochemical cycles of plant nitrogen and phosphorus. A three-year field experiment showed that nitrogen addition affects leaf nutrient resorption efficiency of dominant grass species, leading to imbalanced internal nutrient cycling and potential impacts on plant community composition and litter decomposition.

How complementarity and selection affect the relationship between ecosystem functioning and stability

Shaopeng Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that complementarity promotes ecosystem stability while selection impairs it, with ecosystem functioning and stability exhibiting either a synergy or trade-off. The relationship between functioning and stability can be positively related across species richness levels, but negative relationships may occur when selection co-varies with richness.

Consistently positive effect of species diversity on ecosystem, but not population, temporal stability

Qianna Xu et al.

Summary: The study found that species diversity can enhance ecosystem-level temporal stability, regardless of the system being terrestrial or aquatic. Increasing diversity promotes asynchrony, which in turn increases ecosystem stability. However, species diversity tends to reduce population temporal stability in terrestrial systems while increasing it in aquatic systems.

Latitudinal patterns of terrestrial phosphorus limitation over the globe

Enqing Hou et al.

Summary: This study examined the global-scale latitudinal pattern of terrestrial phosphorus limitation by analyzing plant production responses to phosphorus additions at various sites worldwide. The observed phosphorus-addition effect varied greatly depending on fertilization regime and production measure, but the standardised effect was consistently positive and decreased significantly with latitude. The latitudinal gradient in the standardised phosphorus-addition effect was explained by various mechanisms involving substrate age, climate, vegetation type, edaphic properties, and biochemical machinery.

Negative effects of nitrogen override positive effects of phosphorus on grassland legumes worldwide

Pedro M. Tognetti et al.

Summary: Nitrogen addition decreases the abundance and diversity of legumes in grasslands, especially in nitrogen-poor soils, while increasing the cover of non-nitrogen fixing plants. The addition of phosphorus, potassium, and other nutrients can enhance the abundance of legumes, but does not counteract the negative effects of nitrogen addition.

Phosphorus fertilization is eradicating the niche of northern Eurasia's threatened plant species

Martin Joseph Wassen et al.

Summary: An analysis of plant diversity and stoichiometric niches in herbaceous ecosystems across northern Eurasia reveals that phosphorus fertilization and increases in relative phosphorus availability associated with current measures to reduce nitrogen deposition may seriously threaten plant species of high conservation concern. Low absolute and relative phosphorus availability is found to be more critical than nitrogen or potassium availability.
