Predominant frameworks for understanding plant ecology have an aboveground bias that
neglects soil micro-organisms. This is inconsistent with recent work illustrating the …

Ecosystems worldwide are losing some species and gaining others, resulting in an
interchange of species that is having profound impacts on how these ecosystems function …

Agricultural and industrial activities have increased atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition to
ecosystems worldwide. N deposition can stimulate plant growth and soil carbon (C) input …

Aim Anthropogenic additions of nitrogen (N) are expected to drive terrestrial ecosystems
toward greater phosphorus (P) limitation. However, a comprehensive understanding of how …

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

Although the influence of nitrogen (N) addition on grassland plant communities has been
widely studied, it is still unclear whether observed patterns and underlying mechanisms are …

Climate gradients shape spatial variation in the richness and composition of plant
communities. Given future predicted changes in climate means and variability, and likely …

While there is a large consensus that plant–plant interactions are a crucial component of the
response of plant communities to the effects of climate change, available data remain …

Retention of nitrogen (N) is a critical ecosystem function, especially in the face of
widespread anthropogenic N enrichment; however, our understanding of the mechanisms …

Biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF) research grew rapidly following concerns that
biodiversity loss would negatively affect ecosystem functions and the ecosystem services …
