It is increasingly acknowledged that plant–soil feedbacks may play an important role in
driving the composition of plant communities and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems …

Snow is an important driver of ecosystem processes in cold biomes. Snow accumulation
determines ground temperature, light conditions, and moisture availability during winter. It …

Recent research using repeat photography, long-term ecological monitoring and
dendrochronology has documented shrub expansion in arctic, high-latitude and alpine …

Climate change is triggering similar effects on the incidence and severity of disease for
crops in agriculture and wild plants in natural communities. The complexity of natural …

Interactions between plants and microbes have important influences on evolutionary
processes, population dynamics, community structure, and ecosystem function. We review …

Interactions between plant and soil communities play a major role in determining the impact
of climate change on ecosystem functioning and the carbon cycle, and the mechanisms …

Arctic tundra ecosystems are warming almost twice as fast as the global average. Permafrost
thaw and the resulting release of greenhouse gases from decomposing soil organic carbon …

Crop rotation is an important management tactic that farmers use to manage crop production
and reduce pests and diseases. Long-term crop rotations may select groups of microbes that …

Climate change is altering Arctic ecosystem structure by changing weather patterns and
reducing sea ice coverage. These changes are increasing light penetration into the Arctic …

Environmental manipulation studies are integral to determining biological consequences of
climate warming. Open Top Chambers (OTC s) have been widely used to assess summer …
