DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-47323-3
Abstract: Nutrient enrichment is a major global change component that often disrupts the relationship between aboveground biodiversity and ecosystem functions by promoting species dominance, altering trophic interactions, and reducing ecosystem stability. Emerging evidence indicates that nutrient… read more here.

Soil biodiversity and biogeochemical function in managed ecosystems
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Soil Research"
DOI: 10.1071/sr19067
Abstract: A complex combination of environmental, biological, chemical, and physical properties and processes determine soil biodiversity and its relationship to biogeochemical functions and ecosystem services. Vegetation, land-use, and land management, in turn, influence diversity and function… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2318475121
Abstract: Significance Deforestation alters aboveground biodiversity and ecosystem services worldwide. Yet, the impacts of deforestation on soil biodiversity, and its associated ecosystem services, remain virtually unknown. Our global synthesis indicates that deforestation of native forest impacts… read more here.

Abstract: Anthropogenic conversion of natural to agricultural land reduces aboveground biodiversity. Yet the overall consequences of land-use changes on belowground biodiversity at large scales remain insufficiently explored. Furthermore, the effects of conversion on different organism groups… read more here.
