CONTEXT Many agricultural policies target the conservation of biodiversity worldwide.
Result-based agri-environmental schemes can be more effective and efficient than the more …

Society increasingly demands accurate predictions of complex ecosystem processes under
novel conditions to address environmental challenges. However, obtaining the process …

Soil organic matter (SOM) stocks, decomposition and persistence are largely the product of
controls that act locally. Yet the controls are shaped and interact at multiple spatiotemporal …

A universal feature of ecological systems is that species do not interact with others with the
same sign and strength. Yet, the consequences of this asymmetry in biotic interactions for …

Modern coexistence theory (MCT) holds the potential to study the ability of species to avoid
extinction (ie to persist) across community types but is rarely applied beyond pairs of …

摘要生物多样性是生态系统复杂性的重要特征, 理解多样性的形成和维持机制一直是理论生态学
研究的核心议题. 本文从三方面概述了生物多样性理论的最新进展. 一是物种共存和群落构建 …

The persistence of a species in a given place not only depends on its intrinsic capacity to
consume and transform resources into offspring, but also on how changing environmental …

Complexity has received substantial attention from scientists and philosophers alike. There
are numerous, often conflicting, accounts of how complexity should be defined and how it …

It is known that biotic interactions are the key to species coexistence and maintenance of
species diversity. Traditional studies focus overwhelmingly on pairwise interactions between …

Modelling species interactions in diverse communities traditionally requires a prohibitively
large number of species‐interaction coefficients, especially when considering environmental …
