Grasslands store approximately one third of the global terrestrial carbon stocks and can act
as an important soil carbon sink. Recent studies show that plant diversity increases soil …

Large herbivores play unique ecological roles and are disproportionately imperiled by
human activity. As many wild populations dwindle towards extinction, and as interest grows …

Grazing represents the most extensive use of land worldwide. Yet its impacts on ecosystem
services remain uncertain because pervasive interactions between grazing pressure …

Two major environmental challenges of our time are responding to climate change and
reversing biodiversity decline. Interventions that simultaneously tackle both challenges are …

Megafauna (animals≥ 45 kg) have probably shaped the Earth's terrestrial ecosystems for
millions of years with pronounced impacts on biogeochemistry, vegetation, ecological …

There is growing interest in aligning the wildlife conservation and restoration agenda with
climate change mitigation goals. However, the presence of large herbivores tends to reduce …

Modification of food webs is a frequent cause of shifts in ecosystem states that resist reversal
when the food web is restored to its original condition. We used the restoration of the large …

As a result of their extensive home ranges and slow population growth rates, predators have
often been perceived to suffer higher risks of extinction than other trophic groups. Our study …

Despite seminal papers that stress the significance of silicon (Si) in plant biology and
ecology, most studies focus on manipulations of Si supply and mitigation of stresses. The …

Grazing by mammalian herbivores can be a climate mitigation strategy as it influences the
size and stability of a large soil carbon (soil-C) pool (more than 500 Pg C in the world's …
