Fertilization strongly influences plant and soil biodiversity, yet it remains unclear whether fertilization alone drives shifts in soil biota (fungi and protists) or whether associated losses in plan...

Our study demonstrates that functional leaf traits play a crucial role in shaping fungal endophyte richness and community composition, even beyond the effects of tree species identity. Traits associa...

Due to the progressing climate change, cities face the challenge of adapting to new weather conditions, including heavy rains and draught periods. Gre…

We sampled 15-year-old plant communities of a biodiversity experiment (Jena Experiment) and tested whether and how changes in plant functional traits and soil properties over time and along the plant....

Biodiversity and community age are known to stabilize ecosystem functioning, but this knowledge is almost exclusively based on analyses of single ecosystem functions. Here, we tested whether biodiver...
