Tree diversity increases forest temperature buffering

This study shows that higher tree species diversity enhances forest temperature buffering across multiple time scales, mediated by canopy density and structural diversity.

Global environmental drivers of local abundance-mass scaling in soil animal communities

The paper examines how climatic and edaphic factors influence body mass-abundance scaling in soil animal communities across four countries.

Biotic and abiotic drivers of soil microbial functions across tree diversity experiments

This study examines how tree diversity and environmental factors influence soil microbial functions across global experiments, finding that abiotic factors like soil water content are more significant than tree diversity in the short term.

The effects of drought and nutrient addition on soil organisms vary across taxonomic groups, but are constant across seasons

The study examines how drought and nutrient addition affect soil organisms across seasons, finding varied impacts on different taxonomic groups but consistent effects across seasons.

Genotypic variability enhances the reproducibility of an ecological study

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.
