Maize/peanut intercropping has greater synergistic effects and home-field advantages than maize/soybean on straw decomposition
Surigaoge Surigaoge,Hao Yang,Ye Su,Yu Du,Su-Xian Ren,Dario A. Fornara,Peter Christie,Wei-Ping Zhang,Long Li +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors quantify how straw type, the soil environment and their combined effects may influence straw decomposition in widely practiced maize/legume intercropping systems, and the contribution of litter and soil effects to the home-field advantage was compared between experiment III (home) plot and I-II (away) plot.
Small-Scale Variability of Soil Quality in Permafrost Peatland of the Great Hing’an Mountains, Northeast China
TL;DR: In this paper , the results showed that soil properties and microbial respiration activities in permafrost peatland exhibits considerable variability at small scale, and the largest variations of total phosphorus, ash, and Na were in the 10-20 cm layer with soil depths.
Stoichiometry and stable isotopes of plants and their response to environmental factors in boreal peatland, Northeast China
TL;DR: In this article , the authors collected the samples of three plant functional types (deciduous shrubs, evergreen shrubs and sedge) in seven permafrost peatlands of the Great Hing'an Mountains, China, and measured the properties of total carbon (TC), nitrogen (TN), and phosphorus (TP), their stoichiometric ratios (C:N, C:P, and N:P), and the stable isotope values (δ13C and δ15N).

Effects of warming and litter positions on litter decomposition in a boreal peatland
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the role of the position of leaf litter in permafrost peatlands and found that the leaf litter positions in mediating the responses of litter decomposition to climate warming and shrub expansions in the northern peatland.
Warming-induced vapor pressure deficit suppression of vegetation growth diminished in northern peatlands
Ning Chen,Yifei Zhang,Fenghui Yuan,Changchun Song,Mingjie Xu,Qingwei Wang,Guangyou Hao,Tao Bao,Yunjiang Zuo,Jianzhao Liu,Tao Zhang,Yanyu Song,Li Ran Sun,Yuedong Guo,Hao Zhang,Guobao Ma,Yu Du,Xiaofeng Xu,Xianwei Wang +18 more
TL;DR: Warming-induced vapor pressure deficit suppression of vegetation growth is diminished in northern peatlands, where plants adopt an "open" water-use strategy to maximize carbon uptake, contrasting with global non-peatland areas experiencing suppression under concurrent warming and decreasing relative humidity.
