Biotic modulators of global change effects on plant communities
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding and predicting future plant biodiversity and productivity is critical for prioritizing global change mitigation, conservation, and restoration efforts. One major challenge is that we know remarkably little about how interspecific interactions may modulate the effects of global change factors on diversity and productivity.

Global pattern of leaf litter nitrogen and phosphorus in woody plants [PDF]
, 2010 Forest ecosystems exert an important influence on global biogeochemical cycles. A global dataset of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations in leaf- litter of woody plants was compiled from the literature.

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...

Temperature sensitivity of soil carbon decomposition [PDF]
, 2013 The world's soils contain three times as much carbon as the atmosphere. Thus, any changes in this carbon pool may affect atmospheric CO₂ levels with implications for climate change.

Decomposition and ergosterol content of the moss Hylocomium splendens litter under various climatic conditions [PDF]
, 2001 P(論文)We examined the differences in the decomposition rate and fungal biomass in the litter of Hylocomium splendens among forests under different climatic conditions. The samples were collected from one boreal forest in Canada, three subalpine forests on

Achieving Immanent Organizational Ethics: Managing Paradoxical Tensions in Packaging
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Firms face strategic tensions in packaging materials through their conflicting but complementary social, environmental and economic goals in achieving sustainability. Reducing and repurposing plastics, glass, paper and cardboard in agriculture, horticulture and aquaculture is proving a challenge.

Grazing promotes decomposition of litter in alpine meadow through decoupling climate
Ecological IndicatorsLitter decomposition plays a critical process driving the cycling of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P). However, the combined effects of grazing system (GS) and grazing intensity (GI) on litter decomposition remain unclear.

Invasive N-fixer impacts on litter decomposition driven by changes to soil properties not litter quality [PDF]
, 2017 Invasive nitrogen (N)-fixing plants often fundamentally change key ecosystem functions, particularly N-cycling. However, the consequences of this for litter decomposition, and the mechanisms that underpin ecosystem responses, remain poorly understood ...
