Aridity regulates scale-dependent effects of multiple resource additions on productivity stability in Eurasian grasslands

Increasing the supply of multiple limiting resources generally reduces biodiversity and community stability in grasslands. Aridity is known to modify biodiversity-stability relationships, yet it remains unclear whether the effects of multiple resource supply on biodiversity and s...

Resource utilization and phenological dynamics in underground-aboveground parts of Rheum tanguticum via metabolomics and microbiomics

Abstract Rhubarb, a globally important perennial herb, possesses considerable pharmaceutical and food potential. Using Rheum tanguticum as plant material, this study systematically profiled the metabolomic and endophytic communities of its roots, petioles, and leaves across diffe...
