Plant genotypes shape root‐associated microbiota that affect plant nutrient acquisition and productivity. It is unclear how maize hybrids modify root‐associated microbiota and their functions and relationship with nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) by regulating rhizosphere soil metabolites. Here, two N‐efficient (NE) (ZD958, DMY3) and two N‐inefficient (NIE) maize hybrids (YD9953, LY99) were used to investigate this issue under lo...

Subtropical forests are important ecosystems globally due to their extensive role in carbon sequestration. Extreme climate events are known to introduce disturbances in the ecosystem that cause long‐term changes in carbon balance and radiation reflectance. However, how these ecosystem function changes contribute to global warming in terms of radiative forcing (RF), especially in the years following a disturbance, still needs t...
