Strong scale-dependent relationships between fine-root function and soil properties uncovered with spatially coupled sampling. [PDF]
Summary Substantial fine‐root trait variation is found at fine spatial scales but rarely linked to edaphic variation. We assessed the spatial scales of variation in fine‐root traits and adjacent soils using a spatially coupled, nested sampling scheme along a fertility gradient in a seasonally dry tropical forest tree, Handroanthus ochraceus.

Our results demonstrate that soil nutrient‐based species selection is a prevalent driver of community assembly in tropical forests, a process mediated by key functional traits within the leaf and wood economics spectrum. Functional space size and its filling increase with soil nutrient concentration, whereas niche vacancy decreases.

Machine learning in space and time for modelling soil organic carbon change
Abstract Spatially resolved estimates of change in soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks are necessary for supporting national and international policies aimed at achieving land degradation neutrality and climate change mitigation. In this work we report on the development, implementation and application of a data‐driven, statistical method for mapping SOC ...

Regional income and wave energy deployment in Ireland
Abstract Alongside environmental benefits, renewable energy deployment is often evaluated on grounds of regional development. Focusing on wave energy deployment in Ireland, this paper quantifies employment‐related welfare change net of associated subsidy costs.

The road to integrate climate change projections with regional land‐use–biodiversity models
Abstract Current approaches to project spatial biodiversity responses to climate change mainly focus on the direct effects of climate on species while regarding land use and land cover as constant or prescribed by global land‐use scenarios. However, local land‐use decisions are often affected by climate change and biodiversity on top of socioeconomic ...

La teoría fractal y multifractal son herramientas muy promisorias para la caractelización de las propiedades hídricas de los suelos. La aplicación de un método o del otro, dependerá de la distribución y del tipo de variabilidad de las ...

Unearthing the soil‐borne microbiome of land plants
We studied the soil organisms consistently associated with land plants (vascular plants and mosses) across contrasting climates, soils, and vegetation types. We found a small subset of bacteria, fungi, and protists that defined the consistent soil‐borne microbiome of land plants and determined their importance for the functioning of plant‐associated ...

Homogeneous microenvironmental conditions under nurses promote facilitation
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Biotic interactions are highly affected by species traits and micro‐environmental variability. Research on facilitation has primarily focused on how nurse species alleviate abiotic stress for beneficiary species, while the impact of the micro‐environmental variability ...
