Plant genetic effects on soils under climate change

DG Fischer, SK Chapman, AT Classen, CA Gehring… - Plant and Soil, 2014 - Springer
Background In the face of climate change, shifts in genetic structure and composition of
terrestrial plant species are occurring worldwide. Because different genotypes of these plant …

Plant diversity effects on soil food webs are stronger than those of elevated CO2 and N deposition in a long-term grassland experiment

N Eisenhauer, T Dobies, S Cesarz… - Proceedings of the …, 2013 - National Acad Sciences
Recent metaanalyses suggest biodiversity loss affects the functioning of ecosystems to a
similar extent as other global environmental change agents. However, the abundance and …

Biomass responses to elevated CO2, soil heterogeneity and diversity: an experimental assessment with grassland assemblages

FT Maestre, JF Reynolds - Oecologia, 2007 - Springer
