Intercropping is a powerful way to promote a more diversified plant community in the field,
thereby enabling complementary and facilitative relationships. In these systems, legumes …

Evidence suggests that biodiversity supports ecosystem functioning. Yet, the mechanisms
driving this relationship remain unclear. Complementarity is one common explanation for …

Plant response to drought stress involves fungi and bacteria that live on and in plants and in
the rhizosphere, yet the stability of these myco-and micro-biomes remains poorly …

The aim of the ecospat package is to make available novel tools and methods to support
spatial analyses and modeling of species niches and distributions in a coherent workflow …

Global change is a defining feature of the Anthropocene, the current human-dominated
epoch, and poses imminent threats to ecosystem dynamics and services such as plant …

Rapid climatic changes and increasing human influence at high elevations around the world
will have profound impacts on mountain biodiversity. However, forecasts from statistical …

Many studies report that mountain plant species are shifting upward in elevation. However,
the majority of these reports focus on shifts of upper limits. Here, we expand the focus and …

Climate change is causing extensive alterations to ecosystems globally, with some more
vulnerable than others. Alpine ecosystems, characterised by low-temperatures and …

Predicting which species will occur together in the future, and where, remains one of the
greatest challenges in ecology, and requires a sound understanding of how the abiotic and …

In forest ecosystems, ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic fungi play a central role in the
breakdown of soil organic matter (SOM). Competition between these two fungal guilds has …
