The amount of carbon stored in deadwood is equivalent to about 8 per cent of the global
forest carbon stocks. The decomposition of deadwood is largely governed by climate,,–with …

Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from
estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic …

Because the capability of terrestrial ecosystems to fix carbon is constrained by nutrient
availability, understanding how nutrients limit plant growth is a key contemporary question …

Current analyses and predictions of spatially explicit patterns and processes in ecology most
often rely on climate data interpolated from standardized weather stations. This interpolated …

Climate change and associated environmental alterations affect plant communities,
potentially decoupling links between plants and their associated soil microbial communities …

With over one‐third of terrestrial net primary productivity transferring to the litter layer
annually, the carbon release from litter serves as a crucial valve in atmospheric carbon …

Until now, nonnative plant species were rarely found at high elevations and latitudes.
However, partly because of climate warming, biological invasions are now on the rise in …

Plant litter decomposition is critical for carbon and nutrient cycling globally. However, the
effect of large herbivore grazing on litter decomposition and its mechanisms remain less …

Climatic factors have long been considered predominant in controlling decomposition rates
at large spatial scales. However, recent research suggests that edaphic factors and plant …

Fungal mycelium is increasingly recognized as a central component of soil biogeochemical
cycling, yet our current understanding of the ecological controls on fungal necromass …
