Deterministic theories in community ecology suggest that local, niche-based processes,
such as environmental filtering, biotic interactions and interspecific trade-offs largely …

Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition is a global and increasing threat to biodiversity and
ecosystem function. Much of our current understanding of N deposition impacts comes from …

Metacommunity ecology links smaller-scale processes that have been the provenance of
population and community ecology—such as birth-death processes, species interactions …

Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) input is known to alter plant and microbial α‐diversity, but how N
enrichment influences β‐diversity of plant and microbial communities remains poorly …

Net primary productivity is a principal driver of biodiversity; large-scale regions with higher
productivity generally have more species. This pattern emerges because β-diversity …

Global change drivers (GCDs) are expected to alter community structure and consequently,
the services that ecosystems provide. Yet, few experimental investigations have examined …

There is little consensus about how natural (eg productivity, disturbance) and anthropogenic
(eg invasive species, habitat destruction) ecological drivers influence biodiversity. Here, we …

Both nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) enrichment are known to impact plant diversity
globally. Recent studies suggest that P enrichment may be as important, or even more …

While nitrogen (N) amendment is known to affect the stability of ecological communities,
whether this effect is scale‐dependent remains an open question. By conducting a field …

Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) enrichment of many ecosystems throughout the globe has
important ramifications for plant communities. Observational and experimental studies …
