The genus Aspidistra Ker-Gawler belongs to the family Asparagaceae, which is native to tropical and subtropical Asia, mainly distributed in south China and the adjacent areas of Vietnam, with a few species occurring in Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Japan and NE India. The morphological characteristics of the flowers of this genus are extremely diver...Read More -
2024-05-13The latitudinal patterns and driving factors of plant lignin and microbial necromass accumulation in eastern forests of ChinaPlant - and microbial-derived compounds are the two primary sources of soil organic carbon .The results suggest that the disproportionate impacts of microbial traits ( especially microbial richness : biomass ratios ) on the accumulation of plant lignin and microbial necromass in forest soils of eastern China . These findings have important impli... Plant- and microbial-derived compounds are the two primary sources of soil organic carbon. However, how biotic and abiotic factors regulate the contributions of plant and microbial residue carbon to soil organic carbon at a regional scale remains unclear.Read More
This study focuses on five latitudinal forests in eastern China, using lignin phenols a... -
2024-05-10Xiaoliang Station reveals the underlying mechanisms of bioturbation on methane emissions in mangrove soilsBioturbation is one of the most significant environmental characteristics of mangrove ecosystems and plays an important role in the mangrove carbon cycle .This study analyzes methane emissions , soil physicochemical properties , and the composition of methane-cycling microbial communities before and after fiddler crab bioturbation in two distinc... Bioturbation is one of the most significant environmental characteristics of mangrove ecosystems and plays an important role in the mangrove carbon cycle. Macro benthos in the soil act like bioturbators; their presence and activity can significantly impact the microbial-driven carbon cycling processes by altering the physicochemical properties o...Read More -

A groundbreaking study by researchers from the South China Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has shed light on the antimicrobial mechanisms of Longistylin A (LGA), a natural stilbene compound found in pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) leaves. This research, led by Professor Sheng-xiang Qiu, has been published in the Journ...Read More -
2024-05-08Long-term warming increased carbon sequestration capacity in a humid subtropical forestWith warming , the magnitude of this response varies greatly between models , particularly in tropical and subtropical regions .Ecosystem-level warming experiment in a subtropical forest in southern China , by translocating mesocosms ( ecosystem composed of soils and plants ) across 600.M elevation gradients with temperature gradients of 2.1 ° ... Tropical and subtropical forests play a crucial role in global carbon (C) pools, and their responses to warming can significantly impact C-climate feedback and predictions of future global warming. Despite earth system models projecting reductions in land C storage with warming, the magnitude of this response varies greatly between models, parti...Read More -
