Ecosystems
Semi-arid grasslands are crucial for carbon sequestration and water cycle regulation, but their responses to nutrient deposition under climate change remain poorly understood. A recent study published in Agricultural Water Management discovers that nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) additions have synergistic and antagonistic effects on carbon-water coupling, which are strongly
