The paper shows that threatened and invasive plant species in Europe occupy opposing nutrient niches, suggesting nutrient regime shifts drive species replacement rather than direct displacement.

The paper quantifies a global soil organic carbon sink of 1.83 petagrams per year from 1992 to 2020, driven by extratropical and boreal ecosystems, highlighting the importance of soil conservation for climate mitigation.

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.
