Earthworms and plants can decrease soil greenhouse gases emissions by modulating soil moisture fluctuations and soil macroporosity in a mesocosm experiment

P. Ganault, J. Nahmani, Y. Capowiez, N. Fromin, A. Shinnan, I. Bertrand, B. Buatois, A. Milcu

This study shows that earthworms and plants reduce soil greenhouse gas emissions by altering soil moisture and macroporosity in a controlled mesocosm experiment.

Microhabitat and ectomycorrhizal effects on the establishment, growth and survival of Quercus ilex L. seedlings under drought

L. Garcia de Jalon, J.-M. Limousin, F. Richard, A. Gessler, M. Peter, S. Hattenschwiler, A. Milcu

This study examines how microhabitat conditions and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) associations affect Quercus ilex seedling survival and growth under drought conditions.

Plant traits are poor predictors of long-term ecosystem functioning

F. van der Plas, T. Schroeder-Georgi, A. Weigelt, K. E. Barry, S. Meyer, A. Alzate, R. Barnard, N. Buchmann, H. de Kroon, A. Ebeling, N. Eisenhauer, C. Engels, M. Fischer, G. Gleixner, A. Hildebrandt, , C. Wirth

This study shows that plant traits poorly predict long-term ecosystem functioning, with only moderate explanatory power across years.

Functional composition rather than species richness drive carbon gain and allocation in experimental grasslands

G. Gleixner, C. Roscher, S. Karlowsky, A. Milcu, A. Gessler, D. Bachmann, A. Jesch, M. Lange, P. Mellado-Vazquez, T. Strecker, D. Landais, O. Ravel, N. Buchmann, J. Roy

The paper investigates how functional composition, not species richness, influences carbon gain and allocation in grasslands using 13CO2 labeling.

Genotypic variability enhances the reproducibility of an ecological study

A. Milcu, R. Puga-Freitas, A. M. Ellison, M. Blouin, S. Scheu, T. Girin, G. Frechet, L. Rose, M. Scherer-Lorenzen, S. Barot, J.-C. Lata, S. Cesarz, N. Eisenhauer, A. Gigon, A. Weigelt, , J. Roy

This study tests whether introducing genotypic variability improves reproducibility in ecological experiments across multiple labs, finding it increases consistency in controlled environments but not in variable ones.
