DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16088
Abstract: PREMISE Seed germination is controlled by the soil microclimate; however, microclimate is expected to be changed by temperature increase and rainfall irregularity predicted for the future. As changes in soil characteristics directly affect species recruitment,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4346
Abstract: Abstract Ecotones between distinct ecosystems have been the focus of many studies as they offer valuable insights into key drivers of community structure and ecological processes that underpin function. While previous studies have examined a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8270
Abstract: Abstract Grassland birds are among the most globally threatened bird groups due to substantial degradation of native grassland habitats. However, the current network of grassland conservation areas may not be adequate for halting population declines… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8513
Abstract: Abstract Medium‐to‐high elevation grasslands provide critical services in agriculture and ecosystem stabilization, through high biodiversity and providing food for wildlife. However, these ecosystems face elevated risks of disruption due to predicted soil and climate changes.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9291
Abstract: Abstract The decline of biodiversity in general and of insect diversity in particular has been recognized as a major environmental problem in recent years. In this study, we analyze the distribution and the decline of… read more here.

Quantifying specialist avifaunal decline in grassland birds of the Northern Great Plains
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecosphere"
DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2523
Abstract: Habitat specialists are declining worldwide, often paralleling rapid loss of habitat. Grassland habitats across North America are declining precipitously, due in part to intense conversion of grasslands to agriculture and rangelands, and specialist communities reliant… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2625
Abstract: Scientists have known for over a century that resource addition can lead to species loss from plant communities. Recent studies have also shown that resource addition can substantially restructure communities by altering their functional and… read more here.

Temporal stability of grassland metacommunities is regulated more by community functional traits than species diversity

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.3178
Abstract: Temporal stability in aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) is influenced by several attributes of plant communities. Identifying the primary regulators of stability and their roles across spatial scales is of both practical and theoretical importance.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3635
Abstract: While large herbivores are critically important components of terrestrial ecosystems and can have pronounced top-down effects on plants, our understanding of the underlying mechanisms driving these effects remains incomplete. Large herbivores can alter plant growth,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00374-021-01581-1
Abstract: The effect of grassland conversion to cropland on the incorporation of N into microbial residues remains unclear. We analyzed for amino sugars, as a microbial residue biomarker, and adopted stable-isotope-probing technique to trace the assimilation… read more here.
