- Nitrogen enrichment alters plant N: P stoichiometry and intensifies phosphorus limitation in a steppe ecosystem (2017, background): “First, chronic N deposition alters plant functional group composition and substantially decreases biodiversity and ecosystem stability in semiarid grasslands (Bai et al., 2010; Lan and Bai, 2012).”
- Does phosphorus limitation promote species-rich plant communities? (2011, positive): “…this idea is to be rejected; many studies show that species richness declines after N enrichment— whether from fertilizer or atmospheric deposition—and rare species tend to be replaced by common ones (Bai et al. 2010; Bobbink et al. 2010; Clark et al. 2007; Stevens et al. 2010; Suding et al. 2005).”
- Rate-specific responses of prokaryotic diversity and structure to nitrogen deposition in the Leymus chinensis steppe (2014, methodology): “It has been a common view that there exists an N input limit, above which ecosystem functions would be seriously affected (Bai et al., 2010), although explicit tests are lacking for microbial communities.”
- Soil acidification exerts a greater control on soil respiration than soil nitrogen availability in grasslands subjected to long‐term nitrogen enrichment (2016, methodology): “The site has a dark chestnut soil (Calcic Chernozem according to ISSS Working Group RB, 1998), with a loamy-sand texture (Bai et al. 2010).”
- Nitrogen enrichment enhances the dominance of grasses over forbs in a temperate steppe ecosystem (2011, background): “In a 4-yr case study conducted in Inner Mongolia, Bai et al. (2010) demonstrated the tradeoffs and thresholds in effects of N addition on grassland biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.”
- Nitrogen‐induced acidification, not N‐nutrient, dominates suppressive N effects on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (2020, methodology): “(a C3 perennial rhizomatous Gramineous species), have significantly increased their dominance with the N addition but remained largely unchanged across the P addition gradient (Bai et al., 2010).”
- The interaction between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and soil phosphorus availability influences plant community productivity and ecosystem stability (2014, background): “N addition reduces the species richness of forbs (Bai et al. 2010; Song et al. 2011).”
- Nitrogen deposition and its ecological impact in China: an overview. (2011, background): “lessen the N limitation by increasing soil N availability and thus stimulate plant growth (Pan et al., 2004; Bai et al., 2010).”
- Responses of enzymatic activities within soil aggregates to 9-year nitrogen and water addition in a semi-arid grassland (2015, background): “5 g N m 2 yr 1 of background increased NPP by 13%e62 % (Bai et al., 2010), while water addition”
- The counteractive effects of nitrogen addition and watering on soil bacterial communities in a steppe ecosystem (2014, background): “It has been predicted that N deposition rate and precipitation will increase in this area in the future (IPCC, 2007; Wan et al., 2009; Bai et al., 2010; Sun and Ding, 2010; Niu et al., 2011).”
- Contrasting effects of nitrogen forms and soil pH on ammonia oxidizing microorganisms and their responses to long-term nitrogen fertilization in a typical steppe ecosystem (2017, background): “), together accounting for more than 70% of the total community aboveground biomass (Bai et al., 2010).”
- Plasticity in leaf and stem nutrient resorption proficiency potentially reinforces plant–soil feedbacks and microscale heterogeneity in a semi‐arid grassland (2012, background): “The peak above-ground biomass reached 100–150 g dry matter m)2 in mid-August (Bai et al. 2010).”
- Plant community responses to nitrogen addition and increased precipitation: the importance of water availability and species traits (2011, background): “, 2007) and manipulative experiments (Zavaleta et al., 2003a; Clark & Tilman, 2008; Bai et al., 2010).”
