Context dependence is widely invoked to explain disparate results in ecology. It arises when
the magnitude or sign of a relationship varies due to the conditions under which it is …

Conventional agriculture has important challenges to guarantee soil fertility and sustainable
food production. Many agricultural soils in the world are degraded and multiple strategies …

Enrichment of nutrients and loss of herbivores are assumed to cause a loss of plant diversity
in grassland ecosystems because they increase plant cover, which leads to a decrease of …

Negative emission technologies underpin socioeconomic scenarios consistent with the
Paris Agreement. Afforestation and bioenergy coupled with carbon dioxide (CO 2) capture …

Global concern about human impact on biological diversity has triggered an intense
research agenda on drivers and consequences of biodiversity change in parallel with …

Abstract Theory predicts that intraspecific competition should be stronger than interspecific
competition for any pair of stably coexisting species, yet previous literature reviews found …

Evidence suggests that biodiversity supports ecosystem functioning. Yet, the mechanisms
driving this relationship remain unclear. Complementarity is one common explanation for …

Land-use intensification is a major driver of biodiversity loss. However, understanding how
different components of land use drive biodiversity loss requires the investigation of multiple …

Microorganisms mediate nutrient cycling in soils, and thus it is assumed that they largely
control responses of terrestrial ecosystems to anthropogenic nutrient inputs. Therefore, it is …

Plant communities experience impacts of increasing numbers of global change factors (eg,
warming, eutrophication, pollution). Consequently, unpredictable global change effects …
