Enumerating soil biodiversity

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2023
Significance Soil organisms mediate unique functions we rely on for food, fiber, and human and planetary health. Despite the significance of soil life, we lack a quantitative estimate of soil biodiversity, making it challenging to advocate for the ...

Overcoming the coupled climate and biodiversity crises and their societal impacts

Science, 2023
Earth’s biodiversity and human societies face pollution, overconsumption of natural resources, urbanization, demographic shifts, social and economic inequalities, and habitat loss, many of which are exacerbated by climate change.

Limited phylogeographic and genetic connectivity in Acacia species of low stature in an arid landscape

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Widespread plant species are expected to maintain genetic diversity and gene flow via pollen and seed dispersal. Stature is a key life history trait that affects seed and potentially pollen dispersal, with limited stature associated with limited ...

The direct drivers of recent global anthropogenic biodiversity loss

Science Advances, 2022
Effective policies to halt biodiversity loss require knowing which anthropogenic drivers are the most important direct causes. Whereas previous knowledge has been limited in scope and rigor, here we statistically synthesize empirical comparisons of ...

The biodiversity and ecosystem service contributions and trade-offs of forest restoration approaches

Science, 2022
Forest restoration is being scaled up globally to deliver critical ecosystem services and biodiversity benefits; however, there is a lack of rigorous comparison of cobenefit delivery across different restoration approaches.
