How size and resource traits control species' biomass in monoculture and mixture and drive biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Humans are driving unprecedented environmental change, causing the loss of species from local ecosystems. This local species loss is likely to result in declines in ecosystem functioning but understanding why these so‐called biodiversity‐ecosystem functioning relationships vary is crucial for conservation and sustainable land management.

Long‐term nutrient addition and grazing exclusion determine flower abundance, diversity and community composition in high‐latitude grasslands

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The abundance and composition of flowers within plant communities shape the resources available to flower‐visiting insects. However, it remains unclear how nutrient enrichment and changes in grazing impact plant communities and their floral resources, and whether these effects contribute to ongoing pollinator decline. We investigated how the abundance,

Compost amendments up to one inch restore dry rangeland soil health

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Rangelands harbor immense diversity and provide ecosystem services across vast swaths of land while supporting rural economies and the food system, but degraded rangelands may require active management to restore diversity and function. We added varying amounts of compost to understand if there are linear or saturating effects on vegetation and soil ...
