The changes in plant and soil C pools and their C:N stoichiometry control grassland N retention under elevated N inputs

Sen Yang et al.

Summary: Nitrogen addition increases nitrogen storage in plants and soils, but the loss of plants with low C:N ratio partially offsets the positive effect of nitrogen enrichment on plant N storage. The decrease in C:N ratio of topsoil determines the increase in soil nitrogen storage, while no changes were observed in the subsoil. The response of subsoil nitrogen storage may play an important role in long-term nitrogen retention.

Grazing and Mowing Affect the Carbon-to-Nitrogen Ratio of Plants by Changing the Soil Available Nitrogen Content and Soil Moisture on the Meadow Steppe, China

Le Wang et al.

Summary: Different grassland management practices have different impacts on plant C/N ratios. Moderate grazing leads to a decrease in the C/N ratio of Leymus chinensis, while mowing reduces the root C/N ratio of Potentilla bifurca.

Plant functional groups shift their nitrogen uptake during restoration of degraded alpine grasslands

Min Liu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the nitrogen uptake by plant functional groups during restoration in alpine grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau. The results showed that restoration altered the biomass composition of grasses, sedges, and forbs and shifted the nitrogen uptake partitions. Chemical niche in nitrogen uptake was discovered during the restoration process, reducing the intense competition for nitrogen.

Overgrazing, not haying, decreases grassland topsoil organic carbon by decreasing plant species richness along an aridity gradient in Northern China

Jushan Liu et al.

Summary: Climate and land-use change are major threats to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. This study investigated the combined effects of aridity and land-use (overgrazing and haying) on above-ground biomass and soil organic carbon (SOC) in grassland ecosystems in China. The results showed that aridity and grazing decreased SOC through reducing plant species richness, while above-ground biomass was not significantly affected. It was found that there were strong negative synergistic effects of aridity and grazing, indicating that soil carbon content was particularly vulnerable to grazing in arid environments. On the other hand, haying reduced above-ground biomass and had no significant effect on SOC, but it increased plant species richness. Plant species richness had a greater positive impact on SOC than on above-ground biomass, and this effect was more pronounced in arid regions. Overall, this study highlights the importance of managing land-use practices and preserving plant diversity in maintaining soil carbon content and ecosystem functioning in different environmental conditions.

N deposition may accelerate grassland degradation succession from grasses-and sedges-dominated into forbs-dominated in overgrazed alpine grassland systems on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Hao Shen et al.

Summary: The study found that overgrazing and increased N deposition alter the species composition and dominance of plant functional groups in alpine grasslands, shifting the community towards forb-dominated communities. These changes were driven by a combination of selective herbivory and enhanced forb photosynthetic rates. This suggests that future changes in grazing and N deposition may significantly impact the plant community composition in alpine grasslands on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.

Soil fertility controls ectomycorrhizal mycelial traits in alpine forests receiving nitrogen deposition

Wanji Guo et al.

Summary: The study conducted N fertilization experiments in alpine forests on the eastern Tibetan Plateau, finding that nitrogen addition promoted mycelial growth in some tree species but repressed it in others, indicating diverse responses of mycelial dynamics to nitrogen deposition based on native soil nutrient availability.

Nitrogen deposition accelerates soil carbon sequestration in tropical forests

Xiankai Lu et al.

Summary: The study shows that under excess nitrogen deposition, soil carbon sequestration in tropical forests can be stimulated while soil nitrogen sequestration can keep pace with carbon sequestration. This has important implications for predicting future terrestrial sinks for both elevated anthropogenic CO2 and nitrogen deposition. The research further emphasizes the need to incorporate nitrogen deposition and cycling into terrestrial carbon cycle models to improve predictability of carbon sink strength as enhanced nitrogen deposition spreads from temperate into tropical systems.

Different responses of soil C:N:P stoichiometry to stocking rate and nitrogen addition level in an alpine meadow on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Lan Li et al.

Summary: Livestock grazing and nitrogen deposition have significant effects on the element contents and stoichiometry in soil, but their interactive effects on soil stoichiometric characteristics are not significant. Nitrogen addition increases soil total N and N:P ratio, while the interplay between grazing and N addition causes vegetation changes which indirectly affect soil C:N:P stoichiometry. Overall, soil is less sensitive to grazing and N addition than plants in alpine grasslands of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.

Soil organic matter turnover rates increase to match increased inputs in grazed grasslands

Shane W. Stoner et al.

Summary: The study found that long-term phosphorus fertilizer and irrigation treatments can increase carbon storage in grasslands, with increased decomposition rates in fast cycling carbon to offset input increases. Increasing phosphorus fertilization also led to increased decomposition rates in the slow pool.

Soil abiotic properties and plant functional diversity co-regulate the impacts of nitrogen addition on ecosystem multifunctionality in an alpine meadow

Xiaochen Liu et al.

Summary: The study revealed that nitrogen addition decreased aboveground plant functions while increasing soil microbial functions and ecosystem multifunctionality. Soil dissolved organic carbon and community weighted mean for plant traits were identified as important factors driving aboveground plant functions, while soil nitrogen and functional dispersion were key factors affecting soil microbial functions and ecosystem multifunctionality.
