Top-predator recovery abates geomorphic decline of a coastal ecosystem
The recovery of top predators is thought to have cascading effects on vegetated ecosystems
and their geomorphology,, but the evidence for this remains correlational and intensely …

Diversity–stability relationships across organism groups and ecosystem types become decoupled across spatial scales
The relationship between biodiversity and stability, or its inverse, temporal variability, is
multidimensional and complex. Temporal variability in aggregate properties, like total …

Global effects of livestock grazing on ecosystem functions vary with grazing management and environment
Grasslands support multiple ecosystem functions and services, and diverse biota, and are
critical for human well-being. Grazing is the most pervasive land use in grasslands, but can …
