  • Bedrock geochemistry influences vegetation growth by regulating the regolith water holding capacity 
    Jiang, Zihan; Liu, Hongyan; Wang, Hongya; Peng, Jian; Meersmans, Jeroen; Green, Sophie M.; Quine, Timothy; Wu, Xiuchen; Song, Zhaoliang (Nature Publishing Group: Nature Communications, 2020-05-13)
    Although low vegetation productivity has been observed in karst regions, whether and how bedrock geochemistry contributes to the low karstic vegetation productivity remain unclear. In this study, we address this knowledge ...
  • Ecosystem service delivery in Karst landscapes: anthropogenic perturbation and recovery 
    Quine, Timothy; Guo, Dali; Green, Sophie M.; Tu, Chenglong; Hartley, Iain; Zhang, Xinyu; Dungait, Jennifer; Wen, Xuefa; Song, Zhaoliang; Liu, Hongyan; Buss, Heather; Barrows, Timothy; Evershed, Richard; Johnes, Penny; Meersmans, Jeroen (Springer, 2017-06-09)
    Covering extensive parts of China, Karst landscapes are exceptional because rapid and intensive land use change has caused severe ecosystem degradation within only the last 50 years. The twentieth century intensification ...
  • Rock crevices determine woody and herbaceous plant cover in the karst critical zone 
    Liu, Hongyan; Jiang, Zihan; Dai, Jingxi; Wu, Xiuchen; Jian, Peng; Hongya, Wang; Jereon, Meersmans; Green, Sophie M.; Quine, Timothy (Springer, 2019-03-07)
    The study of the critical zones (CZs) of the Earth link the composition and function of aboveground vegetation with the characteristics of the rock layers, providing a new way to study how the unique rock and soil conditions ...
