Human activities have significantly increased atmospheric nitrogen emissions and nitrogen deposition, such that atmospheric nitrogen deposition has become a major focus of environmental science and policy. Because nitrogen deposition is a global problem, the effects of nitrogen deposition on fore...

Vegetation is integral to coral reef as it facilitates accretion and stabilization, previous research proposed that vegetation was affected by habitat heterogeneity across a narrow, but clear environmental gradient. However, the restoration potential of vegetation and relationship to habitat is u...

Since the Industrial Revolution, human activities have significantly increased atmospheric nitrogen emissions and nitrogen deposition back to the earth surface. With the rapid advancement of industrialization and urbanization, South China has experienced one of the highest rates of global nitroge...
