Strong karstification makes the soil environment dry and with high pH and high content of calcium (bicarbonate). The karst environment with a high spatiotemporal heterogeneity seriously affects the growth and development of plants. Faced with these heterogeneous environments, plants have adopted diversified adaptive strategies. This Special Issue is a collection of 15 important research works, which demonstrated some achievements on the physiological and ecological adaption of plants to heterogeneous karst environments, and also explore how to extend the service period of plant resources in karst regions. These works will help to understand the karst-adaptability of plants from multiple perspectives and provide a scientific reference for the selection of karst-adaptable plants and the restoration of vegetation in karst areas. Meanwhile, they will provide theoretical support for organic integration towards economic, social and environmental sustainability of karst areas, and the beautiful vision of "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains". In the future, we look forward to more emerging research on adaptive plants in the karst ecosystem, which will serve better in maintaining ecosystems (carbon neutral), ensuring food supply and promoting sustainable social development. 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $a1-MCP 610 $aaboveground vegetation 610 $aacid soils 610 $aadaptability 610 $aadaptation 610 $aage 610 $aallocations 610 $aangiosperm 610 $aarbuscular mycorrhizal fungi 610 $aartificial forest 610 $aassimilatory demand 610 $abicarbonate use 610 $abidirectional nitrogen isotope 610 $ablueberry 610 $abrowning 610 $acalcareous soils 610 $acarbon and nitrogen stable isotope 610 $acarbon sequestration 610 $acarbonic anhydrase 610 $acell wall polysaccharide 610 $achlorophyll fluorescence 610 $aCoix seed rice 610 $acontribution 610 $adissolved inorganic carbon 610 $aelectrical signal 610 $aelectrophysiology 610 $agolden Camellia species 610 $agymnosperm 610 $ahuman intervention 610 $ainorganic carbon assimilation 610 $ainternal stability 610 $ainterspecific competition 610 $aisotope mass balance approach 610 $akarst 610 $akarst fruit 610 $akarst habitat 610 $akarst mountainous area 610 $akarst plant 610 $akarst-adaptable plants 610 $aleaf-litter-soil continuum 610 $alignification 610 $an/a 610 $anitrate 610 $anitrogen utilization 610 $anutrients uptake 610 $apatch and substrate heterogeneity 610 $aphotosynthesis 610 $aphysiological metabolism 610 $aplant nutrition 610 $aplantation age 610 $aplantations 610 $aredundancy analysis 610 $arocky desertification area 610 $aroot morphology 610 $asenescence mechanism 610 $ashelf life 610 $asoil dissolved inorganic carbon 610 $asoil extracellular enzymes 610 $asoil microorganisms 610 $asoil property 610 $asoil seed bank 610 $asoil stoichiometry 610 $astable isotope 610 $astable isotopic 610 $astoichiometry 610 $astomatal conductance 610 $asubstance transport 610 $asuitable strategy 610 $awater stress 610 $awater-soluble organic matter 610 $awater-use efficiency 610 $aZanthoxylum planispinum var. dintanensis 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 615 7$aResearch & information: general 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911053188603321 996 $aEmerging Research on Adaptive Plants in Karst Ecosystems$94525811 997 $aUNINA
