In turn, these complex ecosystems face important challenges, including increases in carbon …

Ecologists routinely use statistical models to detect and explain interactions among
ecological drivers, with a goal to evaluate whether an effect of interest changes in sign or …

Biodiversity is crucial for the provision of ecosystem functions. However, ecosystems are
now exposed to a rapidly growing number of anthropogenic pressures, and it remains …

Agricultural ecosystems are facing increasing environmental changes. Revealing ecological
stability of belowground organisms is key to develo** management strategies that …

Aim It is crucial to monitor how the productivity of grasslands varies with its temporal stability
for management of these ecosystems. However, identifying the direction of the productivity …

Biodiversity often helps communities resist invasion. However, it is unclear whether this
diversity–invasion relationship holds true under environmental changes. Here, we conduct a …

The global biodiversity crisis has stimulated decades of research on three themes: species
coexistence, biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships (BEF), and biodiversity …

Biodiversity has widely been documented to enhance local community stability but whether
such stabilizing effects of biodiversity extend to broader scales remains elusive. Here, we …

Short-term experimental studies provided evidence that plant diversity increases ecosystem
resilience and resistance to drought events, suggesting diversity to serve as a nature-based …

Background and aims Crop diversity has been repeatedly shown to support multiple
ecosystem functions, both directly and indirectly, driven by interspecific root-root interactions …
