Bidirectional changes in seabird populations drive terrestrial ecosystem function and biodiversity

The paper shows seabird population changes affect terrestrial ecosystems by altering soil nutrients, impacting plant and invertebrate biodiversity indirectly.

Dominance of indirect effects of deer populations on soil biodiversity

This study examines how varying sika deer densities in Irish woodlands affect soil biodiversity through indirect effects on vegetation and vertebrate communities.

Unveiling Hidden Endophytes by Optimising Identification of Endophytic Bacterial Communities from Wild Grassland Plant Roots

The paper develops a streamlined protocol to accurately identify endophytic bacterial communities in wild grassland plant roots by addressing methodological challenges in DNA extraction and contamination.

Global change factors reshape the links between litter properties, decomposers, and decomposition in mature oak forests

This study examines how drought and elevated CO2 affect litter decomposition in oak forests by analyzing their impacts on litter properties, decomposers, and decomposition rates.

Maximum entropy networks show that plant-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal associations are anti-nested and modular

The paper analyzes plant-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal networks using maximum entropy models and finds they are anti-nested and modular across different habitats and scales.
