1 INTRODUCTION In our era of rapid global change, restoring ecosystems based on sound ecological principles is critical (Leadley et al., 2022), making it essential to understand the drivers of ecosystem functions and services in the context of restoration (Díaz et al., 2013; Larkin et al., 2023).

AbstractRising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen (N) deposition affect plant communities in numerous ways1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11. Nitrogen deposition causes local biodiversity loss globally12,13,14, but whether, and if so how, rising CO2 concentrations amplify or dampen those losses remains unclear and is almost entirely unstudied.

AbstractThe effects of long-term climate warming on soil respiration and its drivers remain unclear in forests, which store approximately 40% of global soil carbon. Here we conducted a climate change experiment for 13 years in forest plots planted with tree juveniles at two southern boreal forest sites.

1 INTRODUCTION The impact of global change on plants can vary depending on their inherent physiological and functional differences and may be further influenced by interspecific interactions (Reich et al., 2004).

AbstractMeasuring the chemical traits of leaf litter is important for understanding plants' roles in nutrient cycles, including through nutrient resorption and litter decomposition, but conventional leaf trait measurements are often destructive and labor-intensive.
