Influences of nitrogen input forms and levels on phosphorus availability in karst grassland soils by Jing Zhou, Fugui Yang, Xuechun Zhao, Xinyao Gu, Chao Chen, Jihui Chen, Jihui Chen

“…The effect of varying forms of N input on soil P dynamics in P-limited karst grassland ecosystems remains unclear. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a greenhouse experiment to explore the effects of various forms of N addition [Ca(NO3)2, NH4Cl, NH4NO3, Urea] on soil P fractions in these ecosystems, applying two levels (N1: 50 mg N kg−1soil, N2: 100 mg N kg−1soil) of N input in two soils (yellow soil, limestone soil). …”

Comparing Water Use Characteristics of <i>Bromus inermis</i> and <i>Medicago sativa</i> Revegetating Degraded Land in Agro-Pasture Ecotone in North China by Zhuo Pang, Hengkang Xu, Chao Chen, Guofang Zhang, Xifeng Fan, Juying Wu, Haiming Kan

“…Regression analysis showed a negative relationship between SWC and contribution of water uptake (CWU) (CWU = −2.284 × SWC + 60.833), when the difference in water isotopes was small among soil layers. Finally, the two grassland types showed distinct soil water dynamics shaped by species-specific water use strategies and associated soil pore properties. …”

Short-Term Vegetation Restoration Enhances the Complexity of Soil Fungal Network and Decreased the Complexity of Bacterial Network by Hengkang Xu, Chao Chen, Zhuo Pang, Guofang Zhang, Juying Wu, Haiming Kan

“…We conducted a short-term ecological restoration experiment to reveal the response of the soil’s microbial community and microbial network’s stability to initial vegetation restoration during the restoration of the degraded grassland ecosystem. The two restoration methods (sowing alfalfa (<i>Medicago sativa</i>, AF) and smooth brome (<i>Bromus inermis</i>, SB)) had no significant effect on the alpha diversity of the fungal community, but the SB significantly increased the alpha diversity of the soil surface bacterial community (<i>p</i> < 0.01). …”
