Environmental factors indirectly reduce phytoplankton community stability via functional diversity

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The biodiversity-stability relationship is a fundamental subject of ecological research. Considerable evidence demonstrates that biodiversity can either increase or decrease stability.

Soil Carbon, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus Cycling Microbial Populations and Their Resistance to Global Change Depend on Soil C:N:P Stoichiometry

open access: yesmSystems, 2020
Maintaining stability of ecosystem functions in the face of global change calls for a better understanding regulatory factors of functionally specialized microbial groups and their population response to disturbance. In this study, we explored this issue

Linking Terrestrial and Aquatic Biodiversity to Ecosystem Function Across Scales, Trophic Levels, and Realms

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
Global declines in biodiversity have the potential to affect ecosystem function, and vice versa, in both terrestrial and aquatic ecological realms. While many studies have considered biodiversity-ecosystem function (BEF) relationships at local scales ...

Endangered Plants in Novel Urban Ecosystems Are Filtered by Strategy Type and Dispersal Syndrome, Not by Spatial Dependence on Natural Remnants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Understanding the contribution of cities to nature conservation is gaining increasing importance with a globally accelerating urbanization and requires insights into the mechanisms that underlie urban distribution patterns. While a considerable number of

Conservation of Abundance: How Fungi can Contribute to Rethinking Conservation

open access: yesConservation & Society, 2023
Mainstream biodiversity conservation continues to emphasise the rapid disappearance of charismatic megafauna. Fungi are ignored, partially because many are invisible.

Permafrost condition determines plant community composition and community‐level foliar functional traits in a boreal peatland

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Boreal peatlands are critical ecosystems globally because they house 30%–40% of terrestrial carbon (C), much of which is stored in permafrost soil vulnerable to climate warming‐induced thaw.

Phylogeny as a proxy for ecology in seagrass amphipods: which traits are most conserved? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Increasingly, studies of community assembly and ecosystem function combine trait data and phylogenetic relationships to gain novel insight into the ecological and evolutionary constraints on community dynamics.

Habitat Provision and Erosion Are Influenced by Seagrass Meadow Complexity: A Seascape Perspective

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
Habitat complexity plays a critical role in shaping biotic assemblages and ecosystem processes. While the impacts of large differences in habitat complexity are often well understood, we know less about how subtle differences in structure affect key ...
