Due to climate change, the amount, frequency, and intensity of precipitation worldwide are
changing. There is increasing evidence that hydrological change severely affects species …

Climate change is one of the hot topics of the current century because it is not only an issue
to our health but also to agriculture, forestry, biodiversity, ecosystem and supply of energy …

Grasslands play a key role in both carbon and water cycles. In semi-arid and arid grassland
areas, the frequency and intensity of droughts are increasing. However, the influence of a …

Abstract Changes in global and regional precipitation regimes are among the most
pervasive components of climate change. Intensification of rainfall cycles, ranging from …

Soil microbial communities are vital for multiple ecosystem processes and services. In
particular, soil microbial food webs are key determinants of soil biodiversity, functioning and …

Moving beyond species count data is an essential step to better understand the effects of
environmental perturbations on biodiversity and ecosystem functions, and to eventually …

Abstract Theory and some evidence suggest that biodiversity promotes stability. However,
evidence of how trophic interactions and environmental changes modulate this relationship …

Tank bromeliads form a conspicuous, yet neglected freshwater habitat in Neotropical forests.
Recent studies driven by interests in medical entomology, fundamental aspects of bromeliad …

Global biodiversity is eroding due to anthropogenic causes, such as climate change, habitat
loss, and trophic simplification of biological communities. Most studies address only isolated …

In a meta-ecosystem, spatially separated ecosystems are linked by biotic and abiotic cross-
ecosystem flows. Hence, food webs in a meta-ecosystem are functionally linked. They are …
