Understanding the relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning has major
implications. Biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships are generally investigated at …

The limited number of in situ measurements of greenhouse gas (GHG) flux during soil freeze-
thaw cycles in permafrost regions limits our ability to accurately predict how the alpine …

Soil microbial community's responses to climate warming alter the global carbon cycle. In
temperate ecosystems, soil microbial communities function along seasonal cycles. However …

Uncertainties in the seasonal changes of greenhouse gases (GHG) fluxes in wetlands limit
our accurate understanding of the responses of permafrost ecosystems to future warming …

Leaf litter decomposition is a major ecosystem process that can link aquatic to terrestrial
ecosystems by flows of nutrients. Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning research …

The recognition that wetlands play an important role in regulating global climate has led to
management actions intended to maintain and enhance the globally significant amounts of …

Insect-plant interactions are among importantly ecological processes, and rapid
environmental changes such as temperature and resource fluctuations can disrupt long …

There is increasing evidence that global change can alter ecosystems by eliciting rapid
evolution of foundational plants capable of shaping vital attributes and processes. Here we …

The average global temperature is predicted to increase by 4° C by the end of this century.
Biotas of running waters, especially of low order streams, depend heavily on imports from …

Invasion of plant species with functional traits that influences the rhizosphere can have
significant effects on soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics if the invasive species stimulates …
