Clean water is an inevitable necessity in human life apart from food and shelter. Surface and
underground water are the major sources of clean water. However, with the rapid growth in …

Ecology Letters (2011) Abstract Understanding the sensitivity of tundra vegetation to climate
warming is critical to forecasting future biodiversity and vegetation feedbacks to climate. In …

Decomposition contributes to global ecosystem function by contributing to nutrient recycling,
energy flow, and limiting biomass accumulation. The decomposer organisms influencing this …

Highlights•In some instances, insects can be large direct inputs of biomass to the detrital
pool.•Insects and other small invertebrates transform biomass and alter decomposition …

Although the study of resource subsidies has emerged as a key topic in both ecosystem and
food web ecology, the dialogue over their role has been limited by separate approaches that …

1. The decline in insect abundance and diversity observed in many ecosystems is of major
concern because of the long‐term consequences for ecosystem function and stability. 2 …

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 …

Climate change is resha** global vegetation through its impacts on plant mortality, but
recruitment creates the next generation of plants and will determine the structure and …

Microorganisms play a critical role in the decomposition of organic matter, which contributes
to energy and nutrient transformation in every ecosystem. Yet, little is known about the …

Global environmental change not only entails changes in mean environmental conditions
but also in their variability. Changes in climate variability are often associated with altered …
