Chronosequences and associated space‐for‐time substitutions are an important and often
necessary tool for studying temporal dynamics of plant communities and soil development …

Polar ice sheets and mountain glaciers, which cover roughly 11% of the Earth's land surface,
store organic carbon from local and distant sources and then release it to downstream …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is recognized for its importance in freshwater ecosystems,
but historical reliance on DOM quantity rather than indicators of DOM composition has led to …

The global retreat of glaciers is dramatically altering mountain and high-latitude landscapes,
with new ecosystems developing from apparently barren substrates,,–. The study of these …

Aboveground-Belowground Linkages provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive
synthesis of recent advances in our understanding of the roles that interactions between …

Upward shifts of mountain vegetation lag behind rates of climate warming, partly related to
interconnected changes belowground. Here, we unravel above-and belowground linkages …

In modern life petroleum-based plastic has become indispensable due to its frequent use as
an easily available and a low cost packaging and moulding material. However, its rapidly …

Riverine organic matter supports of the order of one-fifth of estuarine metabolism. Coastal
ecosystems are therefore sensitive to alteration of both the quantity and lability of …

Soils store more carbon (C) belowground than plants and the atmosphere combined,
providing a critical ecosystem service. While previous research has shown that sustainable …

Over time scales of thousands to millions of years, and in the absence of rejuvenating
disturbances that initiate primary or early secondary succession, ecosystem properties such …
