Climate warming is predicted to alter the structure, stability, and functioning of food webs,,,–.
Yet, despite the importance of soil food webs for energy and nutrient turnover in terrestrial …

Increasing global temperatures are predicted to stimulate soil microbial respiration. The
direct and indirect impacts of warming on soil microbes, nevertheless, remain unclear. This …

Rapid warming of high-latitude ecosystems is increasing microbial activity and accelerating
the decomposition of permafrost soils. This proliferation of microbial energy could restructure …

Plant growth often responds rapidly to experimentally simulated climate change,. Feedbacks
can modulate the initial responses, but these feedbacks are difficult to detect when they …

Terrestrial animal biodiversity is increasingly being lost because of land-use change,.
However, functional and energetic consequences aboveground and belowground and …

The effects of long-term climate warming on soil respiration and its drivers remain unclear in
forests, which store approximately 40% of global soil carbon. Here we conducted a climate …

Forests are a major terrestrial carbon sink, but the increasing frequency and intensity of
climate-driven disturbances such as droughts, fires and biotic agent outbreaks is threatening …

Temperature is a primary driver of the distribution of biodiversity as well as of ecosystem
boundaries,. Declining temperature with increasing elevation in montane systems has long …

Soils store about four times as much carbon as plant biomass, and soil microbial respiration
releases about 60 petagrams of carbon per year to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. Short …

Competition for light has profound effects on plant performance in virtually all terrestrial
ecosystems. Nowhere is this more evident than in forests, where trees create environmental …
