Radiocarbon Reveals Modern Carbon Exchange With Topsoil Inorganic Carbon in Drylands
Radiocarbon measurements across drylands reveal that topsoil inorganic carbon carries a measurable modern carbon signature linked to soil pH and organic carbon pools. This modern imprint weakens with increasing aridity and soil depth, indicating reduced exchange with contemporary carbon sources under drier conditions and in deeper soils.

Tipping Points in Bacterial Richness Amplify Extracellular Enzyme Activities in Northern Peatlands
Using a trans‐Holarctic survey in Sphagnum‐dominated peatlands, we identify a critical bacterial biodiversity threshold. Below this threshold, ecosystem function shifts, increasing enzyme activities by 60%, potentially accelerating carbon turnover. This weakens the peatland carbon sink, emphasizing the need to safeguard diversity.

Sensitivity of pelagic fish maximum catch potential to primary production variability is primarily governed by sea surface temperature. Using a global fisheries model (DBEM) forced by four primary production projections under identical physical ocean conditions, we quantified how variability in ocean primary production propagates to maximum catch ...

Extinct Species Unearth Bergmann's Rule in Canidae
ABSTRACT Aim Interspecific patterns of Bergmann's rule may be concealed by species extinctions within clades. We evaluate whether incorporating extinct species and paleoenvironmental information improves the detection of Bergmann's rule in the family Canidae, and test whether temperature and net primary productivity (NPP) explain interspecific ...

Maximum water stress is decoupled from climate, traits, and growth in a xeric oak
We sampled sites across the geographic distribution of blue oak (Quercus douglasii) in California, USA, which spans a large range of mean annual precipitation. Summary Our ability to explain and predict the spatial patterns of forest mortality remains limited.

ABSTRACT Human activities have intensified eco‐environmental problems, challenging harmonious human‐nature interactions. However, existing integrated protection and restoration (IPR) zoning approaches for mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes, and grasslands (MRFFLG) focus on a single scale and fail to incorporate the ecological network (EN) and

Impacts of urbanization on net primary productivity in the Pearl River Delta, China
Great changes in land use/land cover from rapid urbanization have occurred in the Pearl River Delta, China. As the primary cause of land development in the urbanization process, urban expansion has mostly occurred on land with higher NPP, significantly ...
