Carbon and nitrogen dynamics of native <i>Leymus chinensis</i> grasslands along a 1000 km longitudinal precipitation gradient in northeastern China
Understanding how ecosystem carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles respond to the variability of precipitation can help us assess the effects of global climate change on terrestrial ecosystem structure and function. We investigated the contributions of aboveground biomass, litter, root, soil and microbi...
