Nutrient enrichment is a major global change component that often disrupts the relationship
between aboveground biodiversity and ecosystem functions by promoting species …

Intercrop** leads to different plant roots directly influencing belowground processes and
has gained interest for its promotion of increased crop yields and resource utilization …

Energy flux in food webs, ie, energy consumption by different trophic groups and describing
their energetic structure, has been proposed as a powerful tool to understand the …

Earthworms have been perceived as benevolent soil engineers since the time of Charles
Darwin, but several recent syntheses link earthworm activities to higher greenhouse gas …

The soil microbial food web plays a vital role in soil health, nutrient cycling and agricultural
productivity. Notably, there is a distinct paucity of information regarding the effects of heavy …

Organic fertilizer applications can increase soil fertility and productivity and reduce chemical
fertilizer use. However, few experimental studies have focused on effects of organic …

Plants act as ecosystem engineers playing fundamental roles in steering their surroundings,
including soil abiotic and biotic conditions, soil organisms, and the complex soil food web …

Energy dynamics within ecological communities are important in delivering ecosystem
services. However, it remains elusive how the energy fluxes within soil food webs respond to …

Biodiversity can enhance soil multifunctionality through strengthening biotic interactions in
soil food webs, but largely unknown in agroecosystems. We therefore predicted that …

Drought events are increasingly affecting the planet's biodiversity. While shrinking body size
in response to drought has been observed in many vertebrate animals, whether this rule …
