The introduction and success of non‐native species are both a consequence and a cause of
rapid global change. Humans have created novel ecosystems through environmental …

Earth's biodiversity and carbon uptake by plants, or primary productivity, are intricately
interlinked, underlie many essential ecosystem processes, and depend on the interplay …

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

Human activities are enriching many of Earth's ecosystems with biologically limiting mineral
nutrients such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). In grasslands, this enrichment generally …

The biotic resistance hypothesis predicts that diverse native communities are more resistant
to invasion. However, past studies vary in their support for this hypothesis due to an …

Enhancing soil carbon (C) storage has the potential to offset human‐caused increases in
atmospheric CO2. Rising CO2 has occurred concurrently with increasing supply rates of …

Exotic species dominate many communities; however the functional significance of species'
biogeographic origin remains highly contentious. This debate is fuelled in part by the lack of …

1. This review synthesizes evidence that altered fire frequency drives discontinuous
ecosystem transitions from mesic grasslands to shrublands or woodlands in the Central …

Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition is composed of both inorganic nitrogen (IN) and
organic nitrogen (ON), and these sources of N may exhibit different impacts on ecosystems …

Weed management is a critically important activity on both agricultural and non‐agricultural
