Seagrasses are valuable sources of food and habitat for marine life and are one of Earth's
most efficient carbon sinks. However, they are facing a global decline due to ocean warming …

Biogeochemistry is a key but relatively neglected part of the abiotic template that underlies
ecology. The template has a geography, one that is increasingly being rearranged in this era …

We present a framework to explain how prey stress responses to predation can resolve
context dependency in ecosystem properties and functions such as food chain length …

The relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF) and its
consequence for ecosystem services has predominantly been studied by controlled, short …

The process of nutrient transfer through an ecosystem is an important determinant of
production, food-chain length, and species diversity. The general view is that the rate and …

Land-use change is a major driver of biodiversity loss worldwide. Although biodiversity often
shows a delayed response to land-use change, previous studies have typically focused on a …

Understanding the linkages among species diversity, biomass production and stability
underlies effective predictions for conservation, agriculture and fisheries. Although these …

One important aspect of climate change is the increase in average temperature, which will
not only have direct physiological effects on all species but also indirectly modifies …

Humans are modifying the availability of nutrients such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P),
and it is therefore important to understand how these nutrients, independently or in …

While large herbivores can have strong impacts on terrestrial ecosystems, much less is
known of their role in aquatic systems. We reviewed the literature to determine: 1) which …
