Increasing nutrient inputs into terrestrial ecosystems affect not only plant communities but
also associated soil microbial communities. Studies carried out in predominantly …

Although research on the role of competitive interactions during community assembly began
decades ago, a recent revival of interest has led to new discoveries and research …

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

Soil management is fundamental to all agricultural systems and fertilization practices have
contributed substantially to the impressive increases in food production. Despite the pivotal …

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 …

Nitrogen (N) deposition influences both above-and below-ground communities and
influences ecosystem functioning. However it is not clear about direct or indirect interactions …

Terrestrial ecosystems are receiving elevated inputs of nitrogen (N) from anthropogenic
sources and understanding how these increases in N availability affect soil microbial …

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

Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition is a recognized threat to plant diversity in temperate
and northern parts of Europe and North America. This paper assesses evidence from field …

Modern coexistence theory and contemporary niche theory represent parallel frameworks
for understanding the niche's role in species coexistence. Despite increasing prominence …
