The paper develops a framework to understand how biotic interactions modulate global change effects on plant communities and finds herbivores mitigate negative impacts while plant competition has mixed effects.

This study evaluates how different extraction methods and sequencing protocols affect nematode biodiversity metrics in soil samples.

This study examines the combined effects of multiple global change perturbations on grassland ecosystems, finding that most combinations have negative impacts, with drought being a dominant factor.

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

This study examines how soil microorganisms allocate resources during drought and warming, finding that resource acquisition is more sensitive than carbon storage to climate extremes.

This study shows beaver-engineering increases biodiversity in streams across different land-use intensities, benefiting aquatic and semi-aquatic species.

The paper shows that plant biomass response to annual precipitation depends on how evenly precipitation is distributed within the year.

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