Sleep trajectories and osteoporosis incidence
Background: Most studies evaluate sleep quality at a single time point, and few have employed repeated measurements to investigate this association. This longitudinal research investigated changes in sleep quality patterns among older adults and examined their relationship with the onset of osteoporosis. Methods: We analyzed data from two prospective cohorts: Participants comprised 4,328 individuals from the English Longitudinal Study of Aging (E…
Shifts in the Climate Sensitivity of Tree Ring Growth in the Mountainous Regions of Northern China Through the 20th Century
Ongoing climate change poses a major threat to forest growth, which in turn accelerates the rate of land degradation. Given the high sensitivity of mountain forests to climate, there is an urgent need for more detailed studies on the dynamics of montane forests affected by climate change. For this study, we selected 20 tree ring width chronologies in the mountainous regions of Northern China, and investigated the responses of tree growth to clima…
Root Hydraulic Traits Predict the Growth Performance of Perennial Forbs on the Loess Plateau of China
The traits of root xylem play important roles in plants through the provision of structural support, nutrient uptake, and water transport. However, the relationship between root hydraulic traits and plant growth performance in drylands remains unclear. In this study, the growth performance and hydraulic traits of 35 perennial forbs on the Loess Plateau were obtained through field surveys and xylem anatomy experiments. The results revealed that pl…
Disentangling the independent and interacting impacts of biophysical factors on the transpiration of a black locust ( Robinia pseudoacacia ) plantation in the semiarid Loess Plateau, China
Transpiration (Tr) is the largest continental water flux. Tr is jointly affected by biophysical factors, including atmospheric demand, soil water supply, and plant physiological features, represented by potential evapotranspiration (PET), soil water content (SWC), and leaf area index (LAI) respectively. Disentangling the independent and interacting impacts of the biophysical factors on Tr provides a better understanding on the mechanism of ecohyd…
Plantation understorey legume functional groups enhance soil organic carbon sequestration by promoting species richness
Despite evidence showing that plant diversity or tree mixtures increase carbon storage in experimental grasslands or mixed forests, the effects of understorey plant communities on changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) storage in planted forests remain unclear, especially for monoculture plantations. Therefore, based on field observations in monoculture plantations on the Loess Plateau in China, we investigated the direct effects of understorey spe…
Afforestation may accelerate the depletion of deep soil moisture on the Loess Plateau
Afforestation is an effective way to restore degraded landscapes and protect ecosystems in arid and semiarid regions. However, the responses of soil moisture content (SMC) to afforestation in deep soil layers as well as the related controlling factors on a regional scale are still poorly understood. In this study, a meta‐analysis compiled a total of 3045 individual measurements in 203 sites, was conducted to evaluate the effects of afforestation …
Soil organic carbon stocks in an investigated watershed transect linked to ecological restoration practices on the Loess Plateau
Lager scale ecological restoration practices are increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks. Meta‐analysis is by far the most widely applied technique for describing SOC at large spatial scales, but there is a lack of field‐based investigations on a series of individual watersheds. In this study, a watershed transect of six watersheds distributed in a hilly and gully area of the Loess Plateau was investigated in order to achieve sustainable prac…
Tree-ring based February–April relative humidity reconstruction since A.D. 1695 in the Gaoligong Mountains, southeastern Tibetan Plateau
High-resolution proxy data are limited in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau, which inhibits our understanding of long-term climate variability in historical periods. In this study, we developed one tree-ring-width chronology of Tsuga dumosa (D. Don Eichler) in the Gaoligong Mountains, southeastern Tibetan Plateau. Tree-ring-width chronology showed negative correlations with monthly temperatures in most months, especially for current year, whereas …
