ABSTRACT A growing body of evidence highlights the importance of biodiversity for
ecosystem stability and the maintenance of optimal ecosystem functionality. Conservation …

Understanding how communities of living organisms assemble has been a central question
in ecology since the early days of the discipline. Disentangling the different processes …

Ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) shrubs commonly occur in forest understories and could therefore
alter arbuscular (AM) and/or ectomycorrhizal (EcM) tree effects on soil carbon and nitrogen …

Carbon storage in vegetation and soil underpins climate regulation through carbon
sequestration. Because plant species differ in their ability to capture, store and release …

Ecosystems worldwide are losing some species and gaining others, resulting in an
interchange of species that is having profound impacts on how these ecosystems function …

Despite their importance, how plant communities and soil microorganisms interact to
determine the capacity of ecosystems to provide multiple functions simultaneously …

Aim Elevated inputs of biologically reactive nitrogen (N) are considered to be one of the
most substantial threats to biodiversity in terrestrial ecosystems. Several attempts have been …

Species diversity promotes the delivery of multiple ecosystem functions (multifunctionality).
However, the relative functional importance of rare and common species in driving the …

Biotic interactions are often ignored in assessments of climate change impacts. However,
climate‐related changes in species interactions, often mediated through increased …

Multiple co-occurring environmental changes are affecting soil nitrogen cycling processes,
which are mainly mediated by microbes. While it is likely that various nitrogen-cycling …
