The paper maps the distribution of mycorrhizal fungal taxa and forecasts future range shifts, finding that ectomycorrhizal fungi have smaller niches and will experience greater range loss under climate change.

This study shows that multi-species microbial inoculants enhance crop yields in Rwanda when combined with fertilizers, but not as effectively as fertilizers alone.

This study identifies social freedoms as a key determinant of animal welfare protection globally, explaining 58% of variation across countries.

This study shows that temperature effects on autumn phenology of European beech reverse after the summer solstice due to developmental constraints, with nighttime cooling delaying bud set and daytime cooling advancing phenology.

This paper evaluates the ecological impact of Costa Rica's PES program using soundscapes, finding significant acoustic recovery in natural regeneration sites but slower recovery in plantations.

The paper develops a theoretical framework linking species coexistence to ecosystem function by identifying three components that determine community function.

This study analyzes decomposition responses to warming across global macro-environmental gradients, finding that warming effects vary significantly depending on moisture and temperature, with a threshold of 5.2°C for significant decomposition increase.
