Functional Redundancy and Ecosystem Function — The Soil Microbiota as a Case Study [PDF]

, 2015
Understanding ecosystem functioning has been a main focus of ecological studies due to its importance for the maintenance of ecosystem integrity and human livelihood. While identi‐ fying and measuring relevant ecosystem functions may be a seemingly straightforward task, isolating the biota responsible for the provision of a particular function is far ...

Field Report from Collaborative Research Center 1625: Heterogeneous Research Data Management Using Ontology Representations

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A unified research data management framework for heterogeneous materials data is presented. The system integrates multimodal datasets using ontologies and knowledge graphs, enabling interoperability and FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) data principles. By linking data across scales and workflows, it supports reproducible, Artifitial

Does fortune follow function? Exploring how consumer preferences drive the functional trait composition of the global songbird trade

People and Nature
Defaunation and extinction undermine the resilience and functioning of ecological communities and ecosystems. Relative to other disturbances, overexploitation for the global wildlife trade presents a unique case of trait‐based selection, as demand for ...

Belowground biodiversity and ecosystem functioning

Nature, 2014
Evidence is mounting that the immense diversity of microorganisms and animals that live belowground contributes significantly to shaping aboveground biodiversity and the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. Our understanding of how this belowground biodiversity is distributed, and how it regulates the structure and functioning of terrestrial ...

Experimenting with ecosystem interaction networks in search of threshold potentials in real-world marine ecosystems [PDF]

, 2014
Thresholds profoundly affect our understanding and management of ecosystem dynamics, but we have yet to develop practical techniques to assess the risk that thresholds will be crossed.

A Lightweight Procedural Layer for Hybrid Experimental–Computational Workflows in Materials Science

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
We unveil a prototype hybrid‐workflow framework that fuses automatedcomputation with hands‐on experiments. Built atop pyiron, a lightweight, parameterized layer translates procedure descriptions into executable manual steps, syncing instrument settings, human interventions, and data capture in real‐time today.
