Anthropogenic chemical pollution has the potential to pose one of the largest environmental
threats to humanity, but global understanding of the issue remains fragmented. This article …

While aboveground biodiversity has been widely studied, how microbial biodiversity
responds to increasing nitrogen (N) deposition is still unclear. Here we conducted a meta …

Human activities have greatly perturbed the global nitrogen cycle. Planetary boundaries,
which describe a safe operating space for humanity, have already been exceeded for the …

Because of human action, the Earth has entered an era where profound changes in the
global environment are creating novel conditions that will be discernable far into the future …

Agriculture is responsible for over half of the input of reactive nitrogen (N) to terrestrial
systems; however improving N availability remains the primary management technique to …

Aim Experimental nitrogen (N) addition (fertilization) studies are commonly used to quantify
the impacts of increased N inputs on plant biodiversity. However, given that plant community …

Quantile regression constitutes a family of statistical techniques intended to estimate and
draw inferences about conditional quantile functions. Median regression as introduced in …

A mechanistic understanding of plant photosynthetic response is needed to reliably predict
changes in terrestrial carbon (C) gain under conditions of chronically elevated atmospheric …

Eutrophication is a major driver of species loss in plant communities worldwide. However,
the underlying mechanisms of this phenomenon are controversial. Previous studies have …

Human-induced abiotic global environmental changes (GECs) and the spread of nonnative
invasive species are rapidly altering ecosystems. Understanding the relative and interactive …
