TL;DR: There is an urgent need to explore the interactions among multiple global change drivers in underrepresented regions such as semi-arid ecosystems, forests in the tropics and subtropics, and Arctic tundra when forecasting future terrestrial carbon-climate feedback.

TL;DR: In this paper, a field manipulation experiment was conducted in a coniferous-broadleaved mixed forest of the subtropical-temperate transition zone in Central China to evaluate the responses of soil respiration to fire and N addition from July 2014 to December 2018.

TL;DR: It is suggested that light availability and soil temperature are more important than nutrients in structuring understory plant community in the mixed forest of the subtropical‐temperate transition zone in Central China.

TL;DR: The findings indicate the primary role of light resources in determining plant photosynthesis and growth of understory shrub species after fire and highlight that understory plants should be considered in projection of biomass accumulation and productivity of forests under environmental perturbations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the soil properties, loss of aboveground biomass, and understory plant community in response to an anthropogenic fire in a coniferous (Pinus massoniana Lamb.) and broadleaf (Quercus acutissima Carruth.) mixed forest in a subtropical-temperate climatic transition zone in Central China.
