A rich body of knowledge links biodiversity to ecosystem functioning (BEF), but it is primarily
focused on small scales. We review the current theory and identify six expectations for scale …

Multiple stressors, such as warming and invasions, often occur together and have
nonadditive effects. Most studies to date assume that stressors operate in perfect synchrony …

A global network of long‐term carbon and water flux measurements has existed since the
late 1990s. With its representative sampling of the terrestrial biosphere's climate and …

Temperature sensitivity (Q10) of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition is a crucial
parameter to predict the fate of soil carbon (C) under global warming. Nonetheless, the …

Temperature impacts biological systems across all length and timescales. Cells and the
enzymes that comprise them respond to temperature fluctuations on short timescales, and …

We propose four postulates as the minimum set of logical propositions necessary for a
theory of pulse dynamics and disturbance in ecosystems:(1) resource dynamics …

Compelling evidence has shown that wetland methane emissions are more temperature
dependent than carbon dioxide emissions across diverse hydrologic conditions. However …

Aim: More powerful tests of biodiversity theories need to move beyond species richness and
explicitly focus on mechanisms generating diversity via trait composition. The rise of trait …

Metabolism provides a basis for using first principles of physics, chemistry, and biology to
link the biology of individual organisms to the ecology of populations, communities, and …

Although it is generally accepted that plant community composition is key for predicting rates
of ecosystem processes in the face of global change, microbial community composition is …
