Nutrient enrichment and herbivore exclusion disrupt the climate-driven balance between C3 and C4 plants in grasslands

The paper shows that nutrient enrichment, especially with nitrogen and phosphorus, reduces C4 plant cover in grasslands, disrupting climate-driven C3-C4 balance globally.

A continuum of information-based temporal stability measures and their decomposition across hierarchical levels

The paper introduces a continuum of information-based temporal stability measures parameterized by q, applicable to ecological time series data, and demonstrates their use with biomass data from the Jena Experiment.

Selection strengthens the relationship between plant diversity and the metabolic profile of Plantago lanceolata

This study shows that plant diversity affects the metabolome of Plantago lanceolata through both plastic and adaptive responses, with soil history enhancing these effects.

Local nutrient addition drives plant biodiversity losses but not biotic homogenization in global grasslands

This study shows nutrient addition reduces plant diversity at local and larger scales equally, without causing biotic homogenization in global grasslands.

Plant age and genotype explain variation in the microbiome of natural Lotus corniculatus populations

This study examines how plant genotype and age influence microbiome diversity and composition in natural Lotus corniculatus populations across multiple years.

Selection shapes plant performance in a grassland biodiversity experiment

This study investigates how selection in diverse plant communities affects plant performance across different environments, finding evidence of adaptive responses linked to community history and plant-soil feedbacks.
