Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 12, Page 2733-2749, December 2023., 2023 Our results indicate that defoliation and fertilisation, two common grassland perturbations, have contrasting impacts on root traits of grassland plant species, with direct and indirect short‐term consequences for a wide range of soil abiotic and biotic properties that underpin ecosystem functioning.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 1443-1456, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Successful use of stable isotopes (δ2H and δ18O) in ecohydrological studies relies on the accurate extraction of unfractionated water from different types of soil samples. Cryogenic vacuum distillation (CVD) is a common laboratory‐based technique used for soil water extraction; however, the reliability of this technique in reflecting soil ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Insights into declines in ecosystem resilience and their causes and effects can inform preemptive action to avoid ecosystem collapse and loss of biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human well‐being. Empirical studies of ecosystem collapse are rare and hampered by ecosystem complexity, nonlinear and lagged responses, and interactions across ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 22-37, January 2020., 2020 Abstract Climate change is a world‐wide threat to biodiversity and ecosystem structure, functioning and services. To understand the underlying drivers and mechanisms, and to predict the consequences for nature and people, we urgently need better understanding of the direction and magnitude of climate change impacts across the soil–plant–atmosphere ...

Wildlife Letters, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 23-31, March 2026.American badgers, a medium‐sized carnivore occurring in much of North America, are important predators in prairie landscapes though our understanding of their habitat use requirements in these areas is unclear. We used a multi‐scale approach to understand American badger habitat use at both local and landscape scales.

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.ABSTRACT Water security in tropical regions faces escalating pressures from climate change, land‐use shifts, and population growth. We conducted a bibliometric review of 1146 peer‐reviewed articles (1964–2023) on tropical water security. Latent Dirichlet Allocation identified 13 thematic topics and their evolution. Publications rose sharply after 2012,

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 546-554, December 2025.Desertification is increasing in the Brazilian Semiarid, leading to loss of species and ecosystem services, while precise data on biodiversity distribution and trends are lacking. Public engagement in scientific projects can improve ecosystem protection.

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3504-3516, December 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nitrogen (N) deposition strongly affects litter decomposition and nutrient release, thereby reshaping carbon cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Although most studies have focused on above‐ground litter, the effects of N addition on fine root decomposition and their ...

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 3, July–September 2025.Urban agriculture is in an intermediate state between traditional urban green spaces and conventional rural farms in terms of environmental impacts, so that its contribution to urban sustainability requires complementarity with other green spaces. Abstract As cities expand, they encroach on agricultural land, impacting food production and natural ...
