Increased global nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) inputs caused by human activities can significantly impact methane (CH) uptake in terrestrial ecosystems. Forest soils, as the largest CH sink among terrestrial ecosystems, play a crucial role in mitigating global warming. However, the effects of long-term N and P additions on CH sink and the associated microbial mechanisms in subtropical forest soils remain unclear. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a one-year in-situ field observations of soil CH fluxes in a long-term N and P addition experimental platform in subtropical forest, focusing on community structure and abundance of methanotrophs. Our findings revealed that long-term N addition significantly reduced the forest CH sink, which was attributed mostly to a decrease in the CH oxidation potential and the abundance of methanotrophs. Conversely, long-term P addition significantly enhanced the forest CH sink due to an increase in the CH oxidation potential and abundance of methanotrophs. Furthermore, we found a significant interactive effect of long-term N and P additions on forest CH sink, with P mitigating the inhibitory effects of N addition on soil CH sink. Overall, our results underscore the importance of understanding the interactive effects of long-term N and P additions on CH sink in forests. This knowledge will enhance the accuracy of model predictions regarding atmospheric CH dynamics amidst future global changes in N and P inputs.

Background: Assessing the current status and identifying the mechanisms threatening endangered plants are significant challenges and fundamental to biodiversity conservation, particularly for protecting Tertiary relict trees and plant species with extremely small populations (PSESP). Ulmus elongata (Ulmus, Ulmaceae) with high values for the ornamental application, is a Tertiary relict tree species and one of the members from PSESP in China. Currently, the wild populations of U.

The leaf economics spectrum (LES) characterizes a tradeoff between building a leaf for durability versus for energy capture and gas exchange, with allocation to leaf dry mass per projected surface area (LMA) being a key trait underlying this tradeoff. However, regardless of the biomass supporting the leaf, high rates of gas exchange are typically accomplished by small, densely packed stomata on the leaf surface, which is enabled by smaller genome sizes. Here, we investigate how variation in genome size-cell size allometry interacts with variation in biomass allocation (i.

On acidified soil, the growth of Eucalyptus is seriously restricted by aluminum (Al) stress. Therefore, breeding Eucalyptus species with excellent Al tolerance, developing the genetic potential of species, and improving tolerance to Al stress are important for the sustainable development of artificial Eucalyptus forests. By observing the occurrence and distribution of the main reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in root tips of Eucalyptus seedlings under Al stress, this study analyzed change in the growth and physiological indexes of Eucalyptus seedlings under Al stress.
