PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.

Effects of trophic status, water level, and temperature on shallow lake metabolism and metabolic balance: A standardized pan‐European mesocosm experiment [PDF]
, 2018 Important drivers of gross primary production (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (ER) in lakes are temperature, nutrients, and light availability, which are predicted to be affected by climate change.

Below the leaves: Integrating above‐ and below‐ground phenology for earth‐system predictability
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Almost every aspect of biological systems has phenology—a pattern in activity or function linked to annual cycles. Most terrestrial phenology research focusses on leaves, the onset of leaf out or senescence.

neonSoilFlux: An R package for continuous sensor‐based estimation of soil CO2 fluxes
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Accurate quantification of soil carbon fluxes is essential to reduce uncertainty in estimates of the terrestrial carbon sink. However, these fluxes vary over time and across ecosystem types and so, it can be difficult to estimate them accurately across large scales.

Soil CO2 efflux in an old-growth southern conifer forest (Agathis australis) – magnitude, components and controls [PDF]
SOIL, 2016 Total soil CO2 efflux and its component fluxes, autotrophic and heterotrophic respiration, were measured in a native forest in northern Aotearoa–New Zealand. The forest is dominated by Agathis australis (kauri) and is on an acidic, clay rich soil.

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization
Ecography, EarlyView.In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.
