Extreme weather events are occurring more frequently, and research has shown that plant
diversity can help mitigate the impacts of climate change by increasing plant productivity and …

Species‐specific differences in nutrient acquisition strategies allow for complementary use
of resources among plants in mixtures, which may be further shaped by mycorrhizal …

Long-term research in grassland biodiversity experiments has provided empirical evidence
that ecological and evolutionary processes are intertwined in determining both biodiversity …

Increased productivity generally promotes the accumulation of soil organic carbon (SOC)
stocks. The productivity of mixed forests is mainly influenced by plant species richness …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays a key role in soil function, ecosystem services, and the
global carbon cycle. Large SOC stocks accumulate in agroecosystems, but the estimates of …

Rapid biodiversity losses under global climate change threaten forest ecosystem functions.
However, our understanding of the patterns and drivers of multiple ecosystem functions …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the largest terrestrial carbon pool that can provide nutrients to
plants. Intercropping is a sustainable agriculture method with appreciable potential to …

Although straw returning combined with blended controlled-release urea fertilizer (BUFS)
has been shown to improve wheat-maize rotation system productivity, their effects on …

The intensification of dairy and biogas production in Northwestern Europe has led to the
conversion of permanent grasslands to arable land, mainly for silage maize production …

The conversion of monocultural to mixed plantations is an increasing and widespread
practice worldwide to improve forest productivity and soil fertility. Although tree species …
