Moso bamboo forests are ecologically and economically important in China, but the effects of nitrogen addition on soil carbon dynamics and vegetation are underexplored. This study applied six nitrogen treatment levels in a monoculture Moso bamboo forest, collecting soil samples from 0 to 30 cm depth and understory vegetation data. The results showe...

The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau is recognized as a biodiversity hotspot, with a wide variety of grasshopper species, including several endemic to the region, which play significant roles in both agricultural and forestry ecosystems. The purpose of this study was to analyze the species diversity and distribution pattern of grasshoppers on the Qinghai–Tibe...

Urban areas serve as critical habitats for numerous plant species. Existing studies suggest that, due to human-mediated introductions, urban environments often harbor a greater variety of plant species compared to suburban areas, potentially becoming focal points for biodiversity. Consequently, investigating the driving forces and complex mechanism...

During our research on the diversity of diatoms and green microalgae from Egypt, four new-to-science, newly recorded, and poorly known species were retrieved from different Egyptian habitats. The new benthic diatom species Halamphora shaabanii A.A. Saber, El-Sheekh, Levkov, H. Saber et Cantonati sp. nov., which could not be identified using the cur...

Plant species diversity and spatial distribution patterns are critical for understanding ecosystem dynamics in arid and fragile environments. This study investigates the diversity, spatial distribution, and interspecific associations of shrubs and herbaceous plants in the transition zone of the desert oasis located in the Hexi Corridor and southern...

Lake Issyk-Kul, situated in the Republic of Kyrgyzstan, is one of the largest lakes in Central Asia. Though this brackish-water basin holds only a species-poor fauna of molluscs, the number of species inhabiting Issyk-Kul and their true taxonomic position remain unsatisfactorily studied. Most nominal species of Mollusca reported from Issyk-Kul are ...

The semi-humid evergreen broadleaved forest (SEBF) is the zonal vegetation type of western subtropical regions in China. Under human and natural disturbance, the area of SEBFs is severely shrinking, with remaining fragments scattered across mountains of the Central Yunnan Plateau. To explore the mechanisms of community assembly and species maintena...

Anthropogenic disturbances, such as forest conversion, have a profound impact on species distributions and biodiversity in tropical forests. This study aimed to determine the diversity and distribution of bark and ambrosia beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae and Platypodinae) across three forest types: Primary Forest (PF), Disturbed Forest (DF), and...

Lichens are organisms whose dynamics take place on terrestrial substrates such as rock, dead wood, living plants, and soil. Living trees are used for lichens as structural support to access light. However, little is known about how the genetic traits of a host tree influence which lichen species grow on it and, consequently, the community structure...

Understanding the distribution patterns and driving mechanisms of bamboo species diversity on islands is essential for advancing knowledge of island ecosystem processes and informing strategies for bamboo resource conservation and management. This study utilized standardized major axis regression (SMA) to assess the effects of island area and isola...
