Abstract:Abstract. Atmospheric sulfur (S) deposition has been extensively recognized as a major driving force of soil acidification. However, little is known on how soil acidification influences above- and belowground biomass via altering leaf and root traits. A 3-year elemental S addition were conducted to simulate soil acidification in a meadow. Grass (Leymus chinensis) and sedge (Carex duriuscula) species were chosen to demonstrate the linkage between plant traits and biomass. Sulfur addition led to soil acidificati… Show more
