Advancements of spring phenology due to climate warming have been observed worldwide in the last decades, however, whether the occurrence of species-specific phenology events among populations over broad space has been converged or diverged with recent warming has been little explored. We address...

Elevated anthropogenic acid deposition has accelerated forest soil acidification in southern China. However, the observed responses to increased acid inputs are quite variable among different forest soils. Long-term observation data showed that the pH of an old evergreen broadleaved forest (BF) s...

Plant phenology is the most sensitive and accurate indicator of environmental change, including plant germination, leaf buding, flowering, etc. Through the monthly phenological observation of plants, the arrival time, duration and annual change of each growth and development period were recorded ...
