“…Although the plant diversity-carbon relationship has been widely reported in forests, the response mechanisms of ecosystem functions (e.g., biomass, carbon storage, or net primary productivity) to the variation of biotic and abiotic factors might vary in forests and shrublands Yi et al, 2021) due to the differences in species dispersal and resource acquisition strategies (Biederman et al, 2018;Cao et al, 2020). Although only accounting for 10% of global terrestrial ecosystem (Pan et al, 2011;, shrubland is still an irreplaceable component of terrestrial carbon sinks, especially in arid, cold, and disturbed lands where forests cannot grow (Biederman et al, 2018;Strassburg et al, 2020).…”

Frontiers is more than just an open access publisher of scholarly articles: it is a pioneering approach to the world of academia, radically improving the way scholarly research is managed. The grand vision of Frontiers is a world where all people have an equal opportunity to seek, share and generate knowledge. Frontiers provides immediate and permanent online open access to all its publications, but this alone is not enough to realize our grand goals. Frontiers journal seriesThe Frontiers journal series is a multi-tier and interdisciplinary set of openaccess, online journals, promising a paradigm shift from the current review, selection and dissemination processes in academic publishing. All Frontiers journals are driven by researchers for researchers; therefore, they constitute a service to the scholarly community. At the same time, the Frontiers journal series operates on a revolutionary invention, the tiered publishing system, initially addressing specific communities of scholars, and gradually climbing up to broader public understanding, thus serving the interests of the lay society, too. Dedication to qualityEach Frontiers article is a landmark of the highest quality, thanks to genuinely collaborative interactions between authors and review editors, who include some of the world's best academicians. Research must be certified by peers before entering a stream of knowledge that may eventually reach the public -and shape society; therefore, Frontiers only applies the most rigorous and unbiased reviews. Frontiers revolutionizes research publishing by freely delivering the most outstanding research, evaluated with no bias from both the academic and social point of view. By applying the most advanced information technologies, Frontiers is catapulting scholarly publishing into a new generation. What are Frontiers Research Topics?Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers journals series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area.

“…The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse at Baimiao Experimental Station, Shandong University, China (36°23′10″ N, 120°36′44″ E), with a daily mean temperature of 30°C and air humidity maintained at ~85% by ventilating fan. We selected two representative species from each of four plant families that commonly co‐occur in the Yellow River Delta (Yi et al., 2021): Gramineae [ Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn and Setaria viridis (L.) Beauv. ]; Chenopodiaceae [ Suaeda glauca Bunge and Suaeda salsa (Linnaeus) Pallas]; Compositae ( Crepis bonii Gagnepain and Xanthium strumarium L.); and Fabaceae [ Glycine soja Sieb.…”

Biodiversity is considered important to the mitigation of global change impacts on ecosystem multifunctionality in terrestrial ecosystems. However, potential mechanisms through which biodiversity maintains ecosystem multifunctionality under global change remain unclear. We grew 132 plant communities with two levels of plant diversity, crossed with treatments based on 10 global change factors (nitrogen deposition, soil salinity, drought, plant invasion, simulated grazing, oil pollution, plastics pollution, antibiotics pollution, heavy metal pollution, and pesticide pollution). All global change factors negatively impacted ecosystem multifunctionality, but negative impacts were stronger in high compared with low diversity plant communities. We explored potential mechanisms for this unexpected result, finding that the inhibition of selection effects (i.e., selection for plant species associated with high ecosystem functioning) contributed to sensitivity of ecosystem multifunctionality to global change. Specifically, global change factors decreased the abundance of novel functional plants (i.e., legumes) in high but not low diversity plant communities. The negative impacts of global change on ecosystem multifunctionality were also mediated by increased relative abundance of fungal plant pathogens (identified from metabarcoding of soil samples) and their negative relationship with the abundance of novel functional plants. Taken together, our experiment highlights the importance of protecting high diversity plant communities and legumes, and managing fungal pathogens, to the maintenance of ecosystem multifunctionality in the face of complex global change.
