Methane emission from small wetlands and implications for semiarid region budgets
TL;DR: In this article, small riparian mires of the Xilin River basin in Inner Mongolia were selected as a case study for weekly measurements of in situ CH4 flux and it was shown that small wetlands greatly contribute to the CH4 budget in semiarid regions, where wetland contributions are often assumed to be insignificant.
Photosynthetic acclimation to elevated CO 2 in a sunflower canopy
TL;DR: There was a strong negative correlation between photosynthetic capacity and the ratio of hexose sugars to sucrose, consistent with the hypothesis that sucrose cycling is a component of the biochemical signalling pathway controlling photosynthetics acclimation to elevated [CO 2 ].
Journal ArticleDOI
Rhizosphere priming of grassland species under different water and nitrogen conditions: a mechanistic hypothesis of C-N interactions
TL;DR: In this article, a semi-natural experiment with two plant species (Leymus chinnensis and Medicago sativa) grown at two soil moisture levels (45 and 85% of water holding capacity) with or without N fertilization (0 and 10g Nm−2 y−1).
Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical Proof and Empirical Confirmation of a Continuous Labeling Method Using Naturally 13C-Depleted Carbon Dioxide
Weixin Cheng,Feike A. Dijkstra +1 more
TL;DR: This new continuous labeling method avoids the use of radioactive 14 C or expensive 13 C-enriched CO2 required by existing methods and therefore eliminates issues of radiation safety or unaffordable isotope cost, as well as creating new opportunities for short- or long-term labeling experiments under a controlled environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural 15N abundance in soils and plants in relation to N cycling in a rangeland in Inner Mongolia
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of grazing at varying levels of intensity on dN of soils and plants in a semi-arid grassland were examined, and the relationship between dN and four major N cycling processes (i.e., mineralization, nitrification, denitrification and ammonia volatilization) was detected.
