Societal Impact Statement There is increasing awareness that plants and fungi, as natural
solutions, can play an important role in tackling ongoing global environmental challenges …

Estimating biodiversity change across the planet in the context of widespread human
modification is a critical challenge. Here, we review how biodiversity has changed in recent …

Recent assessment reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and
the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services …

Most people can name a mammal or bird that has become extinct in recent centuries, but
few can name a recently extinct plant. We present a comprehensive, global analysis of …

Native biodiversity decline and non-native species spread are major features of the
Anthropocene. Both processes can drive biotic homogenization by reducing trait and …

Metacommunity ecology links smaller-scale processes that have been the provenance of
population and community ecology—such as birth-death processes, species interactions …

Aim Experimental nitrogen (N) addition (fertilization) studies are commonly used to quantify
the impacts of increased N inputs on plant biodiversity. However, given that plant community …

Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) input is known to alter plant and microbial α‐diversity, but how N
enrichment influences β‐diversity of plant and microbial communities remains poorly …

During the Anthropocene, humans are changing the Earth system in ways that will be
detectable for millennia to come [1]. Biologically, these changes include habitat destruction …

While the regional distribution of non-native species is increasingly well documented for
some taxa, global analyses of non-native species in local assemblages are still missing …
