Cyanobacteria can form dense and sometimes toxic blooms in freshwater and marine
environments, which threaten ecosystem functioning and degrade water quality for …

Harmful cyanobacterial blooms (= cyanoHABs) are an increasing feature of many
waterbodies throughout the world. Many bloom-forming species produce toxins, making …

Unravelling the relationships between network complexity and stability under changing
climate is a challenging topic in theoretical ecology that remains understudied in the field of …

The ocean is a key component of the Earth system (Chapter 1) as it provides essential life
supporting services (Inniss et al. 2017). For example, it stores heat trapped in the …

Increasing aridity is known to influence the diversity and function of soil microbiome.
However, how it affects the microbial co-occurrence network are poorly understood …

The ocean is home to myriad small planktonic organisms that underpin the functioning of
marine ecosystems. However, their spatial patterns of diversity and the underlying drivers …

Land-use change is one of the greatest challenges for natural ecosystem services. Soil
microbiomes are essential for modulating multiple ecosystem functions. However, little is …

Marine heatwaves are increasing in frequency and intensity as climate change progresses,
especially in the highly productive Arctic regions. Although their effects on primary producers …

In ecosystems, the efficiency of energy transfer from resources to consumers determines the
biomass structure of food webs. As a general rule, about 10% of the energy produced in one …

Soil physicochemical properties and vegetation types are the main factors affecting soil
microorganisms, but there are few studies on the effects of the disturbance following …
