Improving crop productivity on a sustainable basis is a challenging issue  in the current agricultural system. To address this issue, we assumed that  the combined use of manure and chemical fertilizers (CF) could improve  rice grain yield and soil properties without the expense of the  environment. Therefore, a two-year field experiment was conducted to  explore optimal fertilizer management strategies using a combination of CF  and organic fertilizer in the form of cattle manure (CM) or poultry manure  (PM). Manure was added at two levels and soil microbial biomass  production, enzyme activities, nutrient content, as well as grain yield of  rice were measured. The study consisted of six treatments: no N fertilizer  control (Neg-Con); 100% chemical fertilizer (Pos-Con); 60% CM + 40% CF  (High-CM); 30% CM + 70% CF (Low-CM); 60% PM + 40% CF (High-PM), and 30% PM  + 70% CF (Low-PM). Results showed that the addition of manure  significantly increased soil enzymatic activities such as soil invertase,  acid phosphatase, urease, catalase, \ua7b5-glucosidase, and cellulase as  compared to sole chemical fertilizer application. Similarly, the combined  fertilizers application led to significant increases in soil microbial  biomass carbon (MBC), microbial biomass nitrogen (MBN), soil pH, soil  organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), available nitrogen (AN),  available phosphorous (AP) and rice yield. Average increases in soil MBC,  MBN, SOC AN, and AP in the 0\u201320 cm soil depth were 62.2%, 54.5%, 29.2%,  17.4%, and 19.8%, respectively, across the years in the High-CM treatment  compared with the Pos-Con. In addition, the linear regression analysis  showed that soil enzymatic activities were highly positively correlated  with soil MBC and MBN. The PCA and linear regression analyses showed that  the increased soil enzyme activities and microbial biomass production  played a key role in the higher grain yield of rice. Overall, the results  of this study demonstrate that the combined use of synthetic fertilizer  and organic fertilizer in paddy fields could be beneficial for the farmers  in southern China by improving soil functionality and yield of rice on a  sustainable basis.", "keywords": ["2.

(In Press). Northern temperate pastures  exhibit divergent plant community responses to management and disturbance  legacies identified through a producer survey. <em>Applied  Vegetation Science</em>. <b>1.\u00a0 Study  location</b> We surveyed 102 pastures during 2012 (n=44) and 2013 (n=58)  between May 24 and July 6, distributed across agricultural lands within 80  km of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.\u00a0 About half the pastures were in the  Central Parkland (n=50), with the remainder in the Dry Mixedwood (n=50)  and Central Mixedwood (n=2) subregions.\u00a0A large and well-distributed  sample size ensured wide variation in soil textures, seeded and non-seeded  vegetation, and management actions. Pastures were selected using a  stratified random approach, separated by at least 800 m. Pastures were  identified through consultation with municipal county staff, then driving  roadsides to confirm suitable fields visually. Pastures had to accommodate  a 260 m long transect (minimum of 4 ha) with buffer zones from wetlands  (30 m), forests and fence lines (10 m), with larger pastures given  preference.\u00a0Acquisition of sites was constrained by landowners\u2019  willingness to grant permission to their land, although refusals were  uncommon (n &lt; 10). A privacy agreement with landowners prohibits us  from releasing the locations of pastures.  <strong>2. Producer management and disturbance  history</strong> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Pasture management  and disturbance history were acquired for all 102 pastures through a  retrospective, in-person interview.\u00a0Interviews were approved by the  University of Alberta\u2019s Research Ethics Board (ID: Pro0030842). Interviews  identified historical and current land-use practices and natural  disturbances potentially influencing soil and vegetation. Managers were  initially asked about ownership and whether the pasture had been  previously cultivated. If cultivated, managers estimated when it was  planted (grassland age) and how (seeding history was described in Pyle,  Hall, &amp; Bork, 2018); cultivation status could also be classified  as unknown (attributed to land-turnover or rented pasture). Recent  management actions were summarized, including grazing history (grazing  system, timing of grazing, number of animals, type of livestock,  supplemental feeding with hay), mechanical treatments (aerated, harrowed,  or swathed/mowed), nutrient addition (fertilizer or manure), or herbicide  application. Livestock stocking rates [in animal-unit-months per ha (AUM  ha<sup>-1</sup>)] were calculated for pastures (n=80) where  adequate information on grazing activities was obtained (see Pyle, Hall,  &amp; Bork, 2018), where one AUM is the forage required to support a  mature cow (with or without a calf) for one month. Other natural  disturbances capable of influencing vegetation, such as a known history of  recent fire, were recorded. All management actions and disturbance factors  are described in Appendix S1 (<em>Applied Vegetation  Science</em> manuscript). <strong>3.  Plant cover, ground cover, and soil properties</strong>  \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Following the interview, a grassland assessment was  conducted. To begin sampling, a random point was located from which a 260  m long \u2018W-transect\u2019 was laid out (Thomas, 1985). Plant composition and  ground cover were assessed at nine equidistant locations using a 0.25  m<sup>2</sup> quadrat. Foliar cover was estimated for each  plant species, with trace species recorded as 0.1%. Plants were identified  (Moss &amp; Packer, 1983) and nomenclature updated using VASCAN  (Brouillet et al., 2018). Plant species were later grouped into major  cover components by origin (total native, total introduced) and growth  form [forbs, graminoids (grasses, sedges, rushes)], as well as functional  groups such as introduced grasses (seeded or widely naturalized),  introduced legumes (seeded or widely naturalized), introduced ruderal  forbs (agronomic weeds), noxious weeds [defined by the <i>Weed  Control Act </i>(Province of Alberta, 2010)], native perennial  graminoids, native perennial forbs, native ruderal forbs, and native woody  plants. These functional groups are related to rangeland health, which  evaluates key forages, along with unpalatable and disturbance-induced  plants. For each pasture, plant community richness, diversity (effective  number of species), and Pielou\u2019s evenness were summarized for inclusion in  multivariate analyses. At all locations where cover was observed, the area of  litter and exposed mineral soil on the ground surface were estimated, and  litter depth was measured at five random locations within the 0.25  m<sup>2 </sup>frame. Mineral soil was sampled to a depth of 15  cm at ten random locations. During preparation of soil cores (Pyle, Hall,  &amp; Bork, 2019), charcoal layers in the top 15 cm of mineral soil  were often found, indicating fire occurrence in the pasture\u2019s history and  not reported by managers. For each grassland, soil properties including %  total carbon (C), % total nitrogen (N), carbon to nitrogen ratio (C:N),  organic matter (OM), pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and texture (%  clay, % sand, % silt) were measured. Procedures and specific responses are  summarized elsewhere (Pyle, Hall, &amp; Bork, 2019).  <strong>4. Rangeland health</strong>  \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Rangeland health was assessed using the <i>Tame  Pasture Assessment Form </i>developed by Alberta Environment and  Parks (Adams et al., 2010; resources available at https://www.alberta.ca/range-health.aspx). In brief, this process evaluated grasslands based on six criteria, including: (1) vegetation composition and forage cover (tame or modified-tame), (2) the status of vegetation as either desirable (i.e., tall, productive forages) or non-desirable (non-palatable) species in tame pasture, (3) hydrologic function and nutrient cycling (abundance of litter), (4) site stability (exposed mineral soil and evidence of erosion), (5) noxious weeds, and (6) encroachment by woody plants (scoring is summarized in Pyle, Hall, &amp; Bork, 2018). In total, 60% of the health score arises from vegetation attributes, 25% from hydrologic function, and 15% from site stability (Adams et al., 2010). <strong>5. Literature Cited</strong> Adams, B.

Introduced, invasive plants can alter local soil chemistry and  microbial communities, but the underlying mechanisms and extent of these  changes are largely unknown. Based on characteristics associated with  invasiveness in plants, it was hypothesized that introduced species that  produce large amounts of litter with distinctive secondary compounds can  a) alter the chemistry of both extractable and bulk carbon in the soil, b)  shift microbial communities towards microbes better able to metabolize the  compounds in the litter, and c) cause soil carbon chemistry and microbial  communities to shift to relatively uniform, novel states at multiple  sites. 2. Composition of phenolics in senescent tissues (leaves and roots)  of Polygonum cuspidatum was compared to the composition of extractable  phenolics and non-extractable bulk organic carbon in soils under and  adjacent to large, long-established stands of P. cuspidatum at four sites  in the eastern U.S. Rates of degradation of phenolics, activities of  enzymes associated with the breakdown of phenolics, and shifts in  microbial community composition were also measured at the sites. 3. Soils  under P. cuspidatum stands contained twice as much phenolics as adjacent  soils, but the composition of phenolics differed greatly between soils  under stands and senescent tissues of P. cuspidatum. Flavonoids and  proanthocyanidins constituted &gt;90% of the identified phenolics in  P. cuspidatum tissues, whereas monophenolic compounds accounted for  &gt; 90% of the phenolics in soils under stands. Soils under and  adjacent to stands also exhibited distinctive compositions of relatively  persistent bulk organic carbon; composition differed less between soils  under stands at different sites than between soils under and adjacent to  stands at the same site. 4. Soils under P. cuspidatum had 2.8 times  greater abundance of fungi than soils adjacent to stands, and fungal  markers showed clear separation of soils under and adjacent to P.  cuspidatum. However, the potential activity of enzymes that degrade  polyphenols was lower in soils under stands. Exogenously applied  chemically complex polyphenols persisted in both P. cuspidatum invaded and  adjacent non-invaded soils, whereas less complex compounds rapidly  disappeared from both soils. 5. Synthesis. Results suggest that  interactions between plant inputs, abiotic reactions, and biotic  transformations may create and maintain new states in invaded soils that  are chemically and biologically less diverse. In the case of polyphenol  rich, fast growing invasive species, these interactions may alter the  composition of bulk soil organic matter that has slower turnover rates,  resulting in legacy effects. Restoration could thus require, not just  removal of the species, but also post-removal interventions such as soil  amendments.", "keywords": ["Flavonoids", "Peroxidases", "Mass spectrometry", "tannins", "Fallopia japonica", "Japanese knotweed", "Reynoutria japonica", "Polyphenols", "home-field advantage", "Legacy effect", "15.

One such region is western  Maharashtra, India, where old-growth savannas occupy a broad rainfall  gradient and are increasingly rare due to agricultural conversion and  afforestation. To understand the consequences of land-use change, we  sampled herbaceous plant communities of old-growth savannas and three  alternative land-use types: tree plantations, tillage agriculture, and  agricultural fallows (n=15 sites per type). Study sites spanned 457 to  1954 mm of mean annual precipitation\u2014corresponding to the typical rainfall  range of mesic savannas globally. Across the rainfall gradient, we found  consistent declines in old-growth savanna plant communities due to  land-use change. Local-scale native species richness dropped from a mean  of 12 species/m2 in old-growth savannas to 8, 6, and 3 species/m2 in tree  plantations, fallows, and tillage agriculture, respectively. Cover of  native plants declined from a mean of 49% in old-growth savannas to 27% in  both tree plantations and fallows, and 4% in tillage agriculture.  Reductions in native cover coincided with increased cover of invasive  species in tree plantations (18%), fallows (18%), and tillage agriculture  (3%). In analyses of community composition, tillage agriculture was most  dissimilar to old-growth savannas, while tree plantations and fallows  showed intermediate dissimilarity. These compositional changes were driven  partly by the loss of characteristic savanna species: 65 species recorded  in old-growth savannas were absent in other land uses. Indicator analysis  revealed 21 old-growth species, comprised mostly of native savanna  specialists. Indicators of tree plantations (9 species) and fallows (13  species) were both invasive and native species, while the 2 indicators of  tillage agriculture were invasive. As reflective of declines in savanna  communities, mean native perennial graminoid cover of 27% in old-growth  savannas dropped to 9%, 7%, and 0.1% in tree plantations, fallows, and  tillage agriculture, respectively. Synthesis: Agricultural conversion and  afforestation of old-growth savannas in India destroys and degrades  herbaceous plant communities that do not spontaneously recover on fallowed  land.

Dust emission is initiated when surface wind velocities exceed the threshold of wind erosion. Many dust models used constant threshold values globally. Here we use satellite products to characterize the frequency of dust events and land surface properties. By matching this frequency derived from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Deep Blue aerosol products with surface winds, we are able to retrieve a climatological monthly global distribution of the wind erosion threshold (Vthreshold) over dry and sparsely vegetated surfaces. This monthly two-dimensional threshold velocity is then implemented into the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory coupled land\u2013atmosphere model (AM4.0/LM4.0). It is found that the climatology of dust optical depth (DOD) and total aerosol optical depth, surface PM10 dust concentrations, and the seasonal cycle of DOD are better captured over the \u201cdust belt\u201d (i.e., northern Africa and the Middle East) by simulations with the new wind erosion threshold than those using the default globally constant threshold. The most significant improvement is the frequency distribution of dust events, which is generally ignored in model evaluation. By using monthly rather than annual mean Vthreshold, all comparisons with observations are further improved. The monthly global threshold of wind erosion can be retrieved under different spatial resolutions to match the resolution of dust models and thus can help improve the simulations of dust climatology and seasonal cycles as well as dust forecasting.                     </p></article>", "keywords": ["[SDE] Environmental Sciences", "Climatology", "Mineral dusts", ":Desenvolupament hum\u00e0 i sostenible::Medi ambient [\u00c0rees tem\u00e0tiques de la UPC]", "550", "Erosi\u00f3 e\u00f2lica", "Physics", "QC1-999", "01 natural sciences", "Dust emission", "\u00c0rees tem\u00e0tiques de la UPC::Desenvolupament hum\u00e0 i sostenible::Medi ambient", "Chemistry", "Pols -- Control", "MODIS (Spectroradiometer)", "13.

The process sequence, extent and global relevance  of this C stabilization mechanism under oxic/anoxic conditions remains  unclear. We quantified and localized the contribution of Fe plaque to C  stabilization in a microoxic area (rice rhizosphere) and evaluated the  role of this C trap toward global C sequestration in paddy soils.  Visualization and localization of pH by imaging with planar optodes,  enzyme activities by zymography, and root exudation by 14C imaging, as  well as upscale modeling enabled linkage of three groups of rhizosphere  processes that are responsible for C stabilization from the micro- (root)  to the macro- (ecosystem) level.

Perfect  co-localization of the hotspots of \u03b2-glucosidase activity (by zymography)  with exudation showed that labile C and high enzyme activities were  localized within Fe plaques. Fe2+ addition to soil and its microbial  oxidation to Fe3+ by radial oxygen release from rice roots increased Fe  plaque (Fe3+) formation by 1.7\u22122.5 times.

Upscaling by model revealed the global significance of C preservation  within Fe3+ complexes in paddy soils. Considering the area of coverage of  paddy soils globally, radial oxygen loss from roots and bacterial Fe  oxidation may trap up to 130 Mg C in Fe plaques per rice season.

The predicted increase in aridity will expand the  biocrust cover and significantly impact soil organic C dynamics. However,  how biocrusts change soil organic C decomposition and what factors drive  the effect in response to climate warming remains largely unknown at a  continental scale. 2. We measured microbial respiration and its  temperature sensitivity (Q10) in bare soil lacking biocrusts and two  universal biocrusted soils (cyanobacterial- and moss-crusted soil) from 43  sites across a precipitation gradient from 39 mm to 443 mm to evaluate the  relative effects of biocrusts on Q10 and the driving forces in northern  China\u2019s dryland. 3. Microbial respiration increased and Q10 decreased with  increasing precipitation in bare soil, cyanobacterial- and moss-crusted  soil. Biocrusts positively affected microbial respiration, with a more  substantial magnitude by moss crusts than cyanobacterial crusts. Biocrusts  negatively impacted Q10, and the magnitudes were similar between moss and  cyanobacterial crusts. Most importantly, the relative effects of biocrusts  on microbial respiration and Q10 increased with decreasing precipitation.  4. The positive effects of biocrusts on soil organic C content and  microbial biomass carbon were positively correlated with the level of  increased microbial respiration.

Even though desert dust is the most abundant aerosol by mass in Earth's atmosphere, the relative contributions of the world\u2019s major dust source regions to the global dust cycle remain poorly constrained. This problem hinders accounting for the potentially large impact of regional differences in dust properties on clouds, the Earth's energy balance, and terrestrial and marine biogeochemical cycles. Here, we constrain the contribution of each of the world\u2019s main dust source regions to the global dust cycle. We use an analytical framework that integrates an ensemble of global model simulations with observationally informed constraints on the dust size distribution, extinction efficiency, and regional dust aerosol optical depth. We obtain a data set that constrains the relative contribution of each of nine major source regions to size-resolved dust emission, atmospheric loading, optical depth, concentration, and deposition flux. We find that the 22\u201329\u2009Tg (one standard error range) global loading of dust with geometric diameter up to 20\u2009\u03bcm is partitioned as follows: North African source regions contribute ~50\u2009% (11\u201315\u2009Tg), Asian source regions contribute ~40\u2009% (8\u201313\u2009Tg), and North American and Southern Hemisphere regions contribute ~10\u2009% (1.8\u20133.2\u2009Tg). Current models might on average be overestimating the contribution of North African sources to atmospheric dust loading at ~65\u2009%, while underestimating the contribution of Asian dust at ~30\u2009%. However, both our results and current models could be affected by unquantified biases, such as due to errors in separating dust aerosol optical depth from that produced by other aerosol species in remote sensing retrievals in poorly observed desert regions. Our results further show that each source region's dust loading peaks in local spring and summer, which is partially driven by increased dust lifetime in those seasons. We also quantify the dust deposition flux to the Amazon rainforest to be ~10\u2009Tg/year, which is a factor of 2\u20133 less than inferred from satellite data by previous work that likely overestimated dust deposition by underestimating the dust mass extinction efficiency. The data obtained in this paper can be used to obtain improved constraints on dust impacts on clouds, climate, biogeochemical cycles, and other parts of the Earth system.                         </p></article>", "keywords": ["Atmospheric sciences", "550", "QC1-999", "Global dust cycle", "\u00c0rees tem\u00e0tiques de la UPC::Enginyeria agroaliment\u00e0ria::Ci\u00e8ncies de la terra i de la vida", "01 natural sciences", "Atmospheric Sciences", "Atmospheric models", "Earth's atmosphere", "Simulaci\u00f3 per ordinador", "Meteorology & Atmospheric Sciences", "Dust; Aerosols; Climate Models; Earth System Models;", "14.

However, how changes in plant composition and  species richness mediate SOC responses to climate warming and land-use  change remains poorly understood. Using data from a 7-year warming and  clipping field experiment in an alpine meadow on the Qinghai-Tibetan  Plateau, we examined the direct effects of warming and clipping on SOC  storage versus their indirect effects mediated by plant functional type  and species richness. We found that warming significantly increased SOC  storage by 8.1% and clipping decreased it by 6.4%, which was closely  correlated with the corresponding response of below-ground net primary  productivity (BNPP). We also found a negative correlation between SOC  storage and species richness, which was ascribed to the increased BNPP via  enhancing the dominance of grasses and decreasing species richness under  warming. The lower SOC storage under clipping was caused by the  clipping-induced decrease in BNPP via weakening the dominance of grasses  and increasing species richness. Our findings highlight that the SOC  storage in this alpine meadow under climate warming and clipping was  primarily governed by BNPP, which was mediated by changes in the dominance  of grasses and species richness.

Nutrient movement  from land to water is likely to be influenced by urban vegetation, but  there are few empirical studies addressing this. In this study, we  examined whether or not urban trees can reduce nutrient leaching to  groundwater, an important nutrient export pathway that has received less  attention than stormwater. We characterized leaching beneath thirty-three  trees of fourteen species, and seven open turfgrass areas, across three  city parks in Saint Paul, Minnesota. We installed lysimeters at 60 cm  depth to collect soil water approximately biweekly from July 2011 through  October 2013, except during winter and drought periods, measured dissolved  organic carbon (C), N, and P in soil water, and modeled water fluxes using  the BROOK90 hydrologic model. We also measured soil nutrient pools (bulk C  and N, KCl-extractable inorganic N, Brays-P), tree tissue nutrient  concentrations (C, N, and P of green leaves, leaf litter, and roots), and  canopy size parameters (leaf biomass, leaf area index) to explore  correlations with nutrient leaching. Trees had similar or lower N leaching  than turfgrass in 2012 but higher N leaching in 2013; trees reduced P  leaching compared with turfgrass in both 2012 and 2013, with lower  leaching under deciduous than evergreen trees. Scaling up our measurements  to an urban subwatershed of the Mississippi River (~17,400 ha, containing  roughly 1.5 million trees), we estimated that trees reduced P leaching to  groundwater by 533 kg in 2012 (0.031 kg/ha or 3.1 kg/km2) and 1201 kg in  2013 (0.069 kg/ha or 6.9 kg/km2).

Recent global trends of increasing woody plant abundance in  grass-dominated ecosystems may substantially enhance soil organic carbon  (SOC) storage and could represent a strong carbon (C) sink in the  terrestrial environment. However, few studies have quantitatively  addressed the influence of spatial heterogeneity of vegetation and soil  properties on SOC storage at the landscape scale. In addition, most  studies assessing SOC response to woody encroachment consider only surface  soils, and have not explicitly assessed the extent to which deeper  portions of the soil profile may be sequestering C. 2. We quantified the  direction, magnitude, and pattern of spatial heterogeneity of SOC in the  upper 1.2 m of the profile following woody encroachment via  spatially-specific intensive soil sampling across a landscape in a  subtropical savanna in the Rio Grande Plains, USA, that has undergone  woody proliferation during the past century. 3. Increased SOC accumulation  following woody encroachment was observed to considerable depth, albeit at  reduced magnitudes in deeper portions of the profile. Overall, woody  clusters and groves accumulated 12.87 and 18.67 Mg C ha-1 more SOC  compared to grasslands to a depth of 1.2 m. 4. Woody encroachment  significantly altered the pattern of spatial heterogeneity of SOC to a  depth of 5 cm, with marginal effect at 5-15 cm, and no significant impact  on soils below 15 cm. Fine root density explained greater variability of  SOC in the upper 15 cm, while a combination of fine root density and soil  clay content accounted for more of the variation in SOC in soils below 15  cm across this landscape. 5. Synthesis: Substantial SOC sequestration can  occur in deeper portions of the soil profile following woody encroachment.  Furthermore, vegetation patterns and soil properties influenced the  spatial heterogeneity and uncertainty of SOC in this landscape,  highlighting the need for spatially specific sampling that can  characterize this variability and enable scaling and modeling. Given the  geographic extent of woody encroachment on a global scale, this  undocumented deep soil C sequestration suggests this vegetation change may  play a more significant role in regional and global C sequestration than  previously thought.", "keywords": ["2.

Changes in soil carbon (C) sequestration in grassland ecosystems have  important impacts on the global C cycle. As such, it is important that  researchers better understand the underlying mechanisms affecting soil C.  Increasing evidence has shown that atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition can  cause dramatic changes in grassland soil C. It remains unclear whether  herbivore grazing, a primary means to manage and utilize grassland  resources, can regulate the effects of N deposition on soil C, and whether  these effects are dependent on plant community diversity. 2. Here, we  examined the joint effects of herbivore grazing and N-addition on soil  organic C (SOC) stocks in two types of communities with low and high plant  diversity, respectively. 3. Our results showed that the effects of  N-addition and its combination with herbivore grazing on grassland SOC  were inconsistent in the two types of communities. In the low-diversity  community, N-addition greatly decreased SOC stocks, while grazing  significantly increased it. Additionally, the grazing-induced increase in  soil C stocks in presence of N-addition was so great that it completely  counteracted the significant decline in SOC induced by N-addition.  However, in the high-diversity community, we observed no effects of  N-addition on SOC and grazing increased SOC only in the absence of  N-addition and had no significant effect in presence of N-addition. 4.  Synthesis and applications. Our study suggests that increased N deposition  can trigger a remarkable reduction in soil C sequestration in grasslands  with low plant diversity, but that herbivore grazing can offset this  decline, which may help to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions caused by  atmospheric N deposition. As a result, we suggest that moderate herbivore  grazing should be considered as an effective grassland management measure  for maintaining and improving grassland soil C sequestration as the  increasing global change such as elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide, N  deposition, and biodiversity losses threat.", "keywords": ["2.

Within these selected quadrats, plant species  richness (SR) and species relative abundance were recorded.\u00a0 Soil samples  were collected from each quadrat using a soil core method at a depth of 20  cm. \u00a0Soil organic carbon content (SOC) were measured for each sample.\u00a0  Total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN), and soil pH were interpolated  from the Basic soil property dataset of high-resolution China Soil  Information Grids (2010-2018). To facilitate analysis  and interpretation, the 1315 field sites were classified into four  distinct ecosystem types: meadow (further categorized into lowland meadows  (LM), mountain meadows (MM), and alpine meadows (AM)), steppe (divided  into temperate steppe (TS) and alpine steppe (AS)), shrubland (classified  as warm shrubland (WG) and tropical shrubland (TG)), and desert (DS).  \u00a0This classification was based on plant community composition, climate,  and prevailing environmental conditions. Mean annual  temperature (MAT, \u00b0C), mean annual precipitation (MAP, mm), and mean  diurnal range (mean of monthly maximum temperature - minimum temperature,  \u00b0C) for each site were obtained from the WorldClim data layers  (specifically, bio_1 and bio_12) at a spatial resolution of 30 seconds \u00d7  30 seconds (approximately 1 km \u00d7 1 km at the equator)  (http://www.worldclim.org/). Remote sensing data,  including Fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (Fpar) were  obtained from MOD15A2H Version 6 data product, slope and elevation data  was extracted from the STRM 90m dataset 171 in China, based on the SRTM  V4.1 database (https://www.resdc.cn/data.aspx?DATAID=123).\u00a0 Fpar is  defined as the fraction of incident photosynthetically active radiation,  400-700 nanometers (nm), absorbed by the green elements of a vegetation  canopy. <strong>Plant mycorrhizal status  </strong><strong>and community mycorrhizal  index</strong> To quantify the mycorrhizal status  of each plant community, we calculated a mycorrhizal index representing  the degree of potential mycorrhizal colonization within the community.  \u00a0The mycorrhizal status of each plant species was determined using an  established database of mycorrhizal associations. \u00a0To minimize potential  errors during the matching process, species were matched based on their  genus level (Brundrett &amp; Tedersoo 2019). The  dominant mycorrhizal status of each community was determined based on the  mycorrhizal status exhibiting the highest abundance within that community.  \u00a0This approach allowed us to differentiate communities based on the  predominant mycorrhizal association of their constituent plant  species. <strong>Construction of phylogenetic  relationships and calculation of phylogenetic  distances</strong> Phylogenetic relationships and  distances between plant species were determined using the V. PhyloMaker  package and picante package in R. V. PhyloMaker generated phylogenetic  hypotheses for the 1235 plant species in our study by linking them to the  'GBOTB.extended' megatree. \u00a0This megatree encompasses 74,531  species, representing all families of extant vascular plants, and serves  as the largest dated phylogeny for vascular plants.\u00a0 Phylogenetic  distances within each community were calculated using the picante package.  \u00a0We calculated two metrics: mean pairwise distance (MPD) and mean nearest  taxon distance (MNTD). \u00a0To account for the relative abundance of each  species within the community, species abundance was incorporated as a  weighting factor in the phylogenetic distance calculations.  To mitigate the influence of species richness on community  phylogenetic distances, standardized effect size metrics for MPD (SESMPD)  and MNTD (SESMNTD) were calculated. \u00a0This standardization involved  generating a null distribution by randomly shuffling the distance matrix  labels across all taxa 999 times. \u00a0The mean of the null distribution was  then used to calculate the standardized effect size. \u00a0SES values less than  0 indicate phylogenetic clustering, where species within the community are  more closely related than expected by chance. \u00a0Conversely, SES values  greater than 0 indicate phylogenetic overdispersion, where species are  more distantly related than expected.  <strong>Statistical analyses</strong>  <strong>Comparison of plant community composition.\u00a0  </strong>To compare plant community composition across different  dominant mycorrhizal status, we first examined the relative abundance of  different plant families within each of the community types.\u00a0 We then  performed non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) using the metaMDS  function in the vegan package, based on a Bray-Curtis distance matrix.\u00a0  The stress function value was assessed to ensure model reliability.\u00a0  Significant differences between groups were determined using Adonis, with  significance levels denoted as follows: n.s. (not significant), *p  &lt; 0.05, **p &lt; 0.01, and ***p &lt; 0.001.  <strong>Assessing the influence of mycorrhizae on species  richness and phylogenetic diversity.\u00a0 </strong>To evaluate the role  of mycorrhizae in shaping community species richness and phylogenetic  diversity, we constructed a set of predictor variables encompassing  climate (MAT, MAP, MDR, Fpar), geographic factors (longitude, latitude,  elevation, slope), mycorrhizal status (MI), and soil properties (TN, TP,  SOC, pH). Multiple regression models were developed  using the MuMIn package in R to assess the effects of these predictors on  species richness and phylogenetic diversity.\u00a0 A full set of models  incorporating all predictors was generated and ranked based on the Akaike  information criterion (AIC) using maximum likelihood estimation.\u00a0 Models  with \u0394AIC &lt; 2 were retained, and model averaging was employed to  calculate parameter estimates and p-values.\u00a0 The relative effect of each  predictor was determined by calculating the ratio of its parameter  estimate to the sum of all parameter estimates.\u00a0 To further emphasize the  importance of mycorrhizae in predicting species richness and phylogenetic  diversity, we constructed comparative models excluding the mycorrhizal  index while retaining all other predictors.\u00a0 These reduced models were  compared to their corresponding full models using AICc values, with lower  AICc values indicating superior model performance.  <strong>Quantifying the relative importance of stochastic  and deterministic processes in community assembly.</strong>\u00a0 To  assess the influence of mycorrhizae on community assembly processes, we  utilized normalized stochasticity ratio (NST) analysis.\u00a0 NST, an extension  of the Beta-diversity metric, quantifies the relative contribution of  stochastic and deterministic processes in community assembly.\u00a0 NST values  range from 0 to 1, with 0.5 representing an equal contribution of both  processes.\u00a0 NST values predominantly above 0.5 indicate dominance of  stochastic processes, while values below 0.5 suggest a greater influence  of deterministic processes. We further investigated the  impact of different mycorrhizal plant types on community assembly using  phylogenetic bin-based null model analysis (iCAMP) (Ning<em> et  al.</em> 2020). \u00a0This method, implemented using the iCAMP package in  R, divides plant species into phylogenetic bins with significant  phylogenetic signals and quantifies the contribution of each bin to  deterministic (homogeneous selection (HoS), heterogeneous selection (HeS))  and stochastic (dispersal limitation (DL), homogenizing dispersal (HD),  and drift (DR)) processes. \u00a0We selected the 300 most abundant plant  species (representing 91.6% of total individuals), assigned them to  phylogenetic bins, and determined the dominant mycorrhizal status within  each bin. \u00a0The relative contribution of each bin to different assembly  processes was then assessed to quantify the influence of different  mycorrhizal plant types on ecological processes.", "keywords": ["deterministic processes vs. stochastic processes", "Community assembly", "phylogenetic dispersion", "FOS: Biological sciences", "phylogenetic diversity", "community composition"], "contacts": [{"organization": "Zhang, Entao, Wang, Yang, Chen, Shiping, Zhou, Daowei, Shangguan, Zhouping, Huang, Jianhui, He, Jin-Sheng, Wang, Yanfen, Sheng, Jiandong, Tang, Lisong, Li, Xinrong, Dong, Ming, Yan, Yan, Hu, Shuijin, Bai, Yongfei,", "roles": ["creator"]}]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.rbnzs7hm4"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.5061/dryad.rbnzs7hm4", "name": "item", "description": "10.5061/dryad.rbnzs7hm4", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.5061/dryad.rbnzs7hm4"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2024-06-03T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.5061/dryad.rn7c5", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-04-03T16:23:18Z", "type": "Dataset", "title": "Data from: Shrubs as ecosystem engineers across an environmental gradient: effects on species richness and exotic plant invasion", "description": "unspecifiedEcosystem-engineering plants modify the physical environment and can  increase species diversity and exotic species invasion.

Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) enable ice formation, profoundly affecting the microphysical and radiative properties, lifetimes, and precipitation rates of clouds. Mineral dust emitted from arid regions, particularly potassium-containing feldspar (K-feldspar), has been shown to be a very effective INP through immersion freezing in mixed-phase clouds. However, despite the fact that quartz has a significantly lower ice nucleation activity, it is more abundant than K-feldspar in atmospheric desert dust and therefore may be a significant source of INPs. In this contribution, we test this hypothesis by investigating the global and regional importance of quartz as a contributor to INPs in the atmosphere relative to K-feldspar. We have extended a global 3-D chemistry transport model (TM4-ECPL) to predict INP concentrations from both K-feldspar and quartz mineral dust particles with state-of-the-art parameterizations using the ice-active surface-site approach for immersion freezing. Our results show that, although K-feldspar remains the most important contributor to INP concentrations globally, affecting mid-level mixed-phase clouds, the contribution of quartz can also be significant. Quartz dominates the lowest and the highest altitudes of dust-derived INPs, affecting mainly low-level and high-level mixed-phase clouds. The consideration of quartz INPs also improves the comparison between simulations and observations at low temperatures. Our simulated INP concentrations predict \u223c\u200951\u2009% of the observations gathered from different campaigns within 1 order of magnitude and \u223c\u200969\u2009% within 1.5 orders of magnitude, despite the omission of other potentially important INP aerosol precursors like marine bioaerosols. Our findings support the inclusion of quartz in addition to K-feldspar as an INP in climate models and highlight the need for further constraining their abundance in arid soil surfaces along with their abundance, size distribution, and mixing state in the emitted dust atmospheric particles.                     </p></article>", "keywords": ["\u00c0rees tem\u00e0tiques de la UPC::Desenvolupament hum\u00e0 i sostenible::Degradaci\u00f3 ambiental::Canvi clim\u00e0tic", "Physics", "QC1-999", "Atmospheric physics", "Aerosols atmosf\u00e8rics", "Atmospheric aerosols", "01 natural sciences", "Chemistry", "Cloud physics", "13.

Desert dust accounts for most of the atmosphere's aerosol burden by mass and produces numerous important impacts on the Earth system. However, current global climate models (GCMs) and land-surface models (LSMs) struggle to accurately represent key dust emission processes, in part because of inadequate representations of soil particle sizes that affect the dust emission threshold, surface roughness elements that absorb wind momentum, and boundary-layer characteristics that control wind fluctuations. Furthermore, because dust emission is driven by small-scale (\u223c\u20091\u2009km or smaller) processes, simulating the global cycle of desert dust in GCMs with coarse horizontal resolutions (\u223c\u2009100\u2009km) presents a fundamental challenge. This representation problem is exacerbated by dust emission fluxes scaling nonlinearly with wind speed above a threshold wind speed that is sensitive to land-surface characteristics. Here, we address these fundamental problems underlying the simulation of dust emissions in GCMs and LSMs by developing improved descriptions of (1)\u00a0the effect of soil texture on the dust emission threshold, (2)\u00a0the effects of nonerodible roughness elements (both rocks and green vegetation) on the surface wind stress, and (3)\u00a0the effects of boundary-layer turbulence on driving intermittent dust emissions. We then use the resulting revised dust emission parameterization to simulate global dust emissions in a standalone model forced by reanalysis meteorology and land-surface fields. We further propose (4)\u00a0a simple methodology to rescale lower-resolution dust emission simulations to match the spatial variability of higher-resolution emission simulations in GCMs. The resulting dust emission simulation shows substantially improved agreement against regional dust emissions observationally constrained by inverse modeling. We thus find that our revised dust emission parameterization can substantially improve dust emission simulations in GCMs and\u00a0LSMs.                     </p></article>", "keywords": ["Atmospheric sciences", "info:eu-repo/classification/ddc/550", "550", "Climate change science", "ddc:550", "Physics", "QC1-999", "15.

However, only recently it gained the interest of the energy and bio-based industries as a low-cost non-food crop for aviation biofuel production and the oleochemical industry, due to its high oil content (up to 40%) and suitable oil profile. Field trials are performed at different locations in Europe, to study the effect of sowing dates on camelina seed and oil yields, in three different environments, the South (Greece) and North Mediterranean (Italy) climatic zones as well as the Continental zone (Poland). The activity was organized in two separate experiments: autumn sowing and spring sowing with two camelina varieties: Midas, a spring variety supplied by Linnaeus Plant Science (Canada), and Luna, a commercial winter variety from Poland. Total biomass ranged between 2.8 \u2013 9.8 Mg DM ha-1, depending on the site and sowing seasons, with the highest figures in Italy and the lowest in Greece. Seed yields ranged from 0.56 \u2013 2.11 Mg DM ha-1, depending on the site and sowing seasons, with the highest figures in the mild Mediterranean environments. Likewise, oil content ranged between 36.50 \u2013 40.55%. Winter camelina reached almost double the seed yield compared to the spring crop for the same spring variety, Midas. Autumn sowing was found more productive than spring sowing for seed yields and oil content both in Greece and Italy, while in Poland, only real winter camelina varieties survive winter.", "keywords": ["0106 biological sciences", "2.

Furthermore, all studies agree about the necessity to unlock the potential of underutilized agricultural resources to reach the planned European bio-economy goals. Agricultural residues like maize cob and grain chaff with an annual European availability of 9.6 Mt and 54.8 Mt respectively, represent an interesting underutilized amount of potential biomass for energy production. Moreover, the harvesting logistics of cob and chaff grain are supported by equipment already available in the market. Cob and chaff are used in different industrial fields but few studies have analyzed the potential as feedstock for industrial boilers to produce energy, separately or in combination with other biomass types. This is a preliminary study to investigate the physical and chemical characteristics of chaff grain and maize cob in order to verify their potential use in industrial boilers for the production of heat and electricity.

With the progressive shift from a burned to a non-burned harvest system, most of the straw presently retained on the soil surface has become economically viable feedstock for bioenergy production. Large-scale bioenergy demand has triggered new approaches to straw management in Brazilian sugarcane fields in fact, straw is a promising feedstock for bioelectricity and cellulosic ethanol in Brazil since has become available in large quantities in the field. Straw can be used as fuel for cogeneration systems of sugarcane mills to increase surplus electricity for commercialization. However, the exploitation of straw potential is still limited due to some challenges related to its agricultural harvesting. In this work, two innovative solution for straw recovery are proposed to increase the quality of the biomass reducing the ash content and simplifying the harvesting value chain. The first possibility evaluated the change of the windrowing process technique, from the traditional one to the belt windrower. The second possibility studied was the baling of the straw biomass directly from the harvesting machine, directing one fan of the cleaning system into the baler that follows the harvesting machine. The two harvesting systems proposed tackle the problem providing a solution at the present bottlenecks.
