Microorganisms are critical in mediating carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling processes in
soils. Yet, it has long been debated whether the processes underlying biogeochemical …

Increasing plant diversity can increase ecosystem functioning, stability, and services in both
natural and managed grasslands, but the effects of herbivore diversity, and especially of …

The mechanisms underlying interspecific variation in conspecific negative density
dependence (CNDD) are poorly understood. Using a multilevel modeling approach, we …
