Carbon control on terrestrial ecosystem function across contrasting site productivities: the carbon connection revisited.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecology"
DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2695
Abstract: Understanding how altered soil organic carbon (SOC) availability affects microbial communities and their function is imperative in predicting impacts of global change on soil carbon (C) storage and ecosystem function. However, the response of soil… read more here.

Studying biodiversity–ecosystem function relationships in experimental microcosms among islands
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology"
DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3664
Abstract: Abstract Ecological studies on islands have provided fundamental insights into the mechanisms underlying biodiversity of larger organisms, but we know little about the factors affecting island microbial biodiversity and ecosystem function. We conducted a field… read more here.

Heterogeneity of ecosystem function in an “Anthropocene” river system

DOI: 10.1016/j.ancene.2020.100252
Abstract: Abstract Physical heterogeneity is a strong driver of ecosystem function in rivers, but it is not clear whether this relationship persists in “Anthropocene” rivers: those affected by pronounced and persistent anthropogenic stressors. Such stressors can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2019.01.003
Abstract: Viruses are thought to control bacterial abundance, affect community composition and influence ecosystem function in natural environments. Yet their dynamics have seldom been studied in engineered systems, or indeed in any system, for long periods… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-021-02031-2
Abstract: Rapidly assessing biodiversity is essential for environmental monitoring; however, traditional approaches are limited in the scope needed for most ecological systems. Environmental DNA (eDNA) based assessment offers enhanced scope for assessing biodiversity, while also increasing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biosci/biac074
Abstract: Abstract Global biodiversity and ecosystem service models typically operate independently. Ecosystem service projections may therefore be overly optimistic because they do not always account for the role of biodiversity in maintaining ecological functions. We review… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2435.13376
Abstract: Wild large herbivores are declining worldwide. Despite extensive use of exclosure experiments to investigate herbivore impacts, there is little consensus on the effects of wild large herbivores on ecosystem function. Of the ecosystem functions likely… read more here.
