Land-use intensification threatens biodiversity, and restoring degraded ecosystems remains challenging due to the difficulty of identifying the rules governing community assembly and dynamics. Invest...

Amazonian deforestation is altering atmospheric moisture transport; as a result, even low levels of global warming could trigger dieback of most of the remaining forest.

La stratégie Bienvenue en France prétend renforcer l'attractivité internationale de la France en multipliant par 15 les frais d’inscription à l’université des étudiant·es non européen·nes. Si les exon...

Radiocarbon analyses show that dryland soils store organic carbon with a mean age of ~2100 years and release carbon averaging ~520 years old, suggesting that long-stored carbon in drylands is vulnerab...

Pollinating insects, which are essential to biodiversity, plant reproduction, and crop production, are in decline (1, 2). In Europe, pollinator populations have declined markedly over recent decades (...

It is unclear whether the harsh abiotic conditions of drylands hinder biological invasions. This global analysis shows that drylands are vulnerable to non-native plants and are likely to become more s...

By combining satellite observations with ground-based data and expert validation, this analysis demonstrates considerable misestimation of grassland extent and thereby carbon stock estimates in previo...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

Grazing affects plant diversity, but plant diversity in turn may modulate the effect of grazing on the plant community. This global analysis explores the association between plant species richness and...

To assess impacts of land-use change on bird diversity, we began by collating surveys from the PREDICTS database, a repository of species occurrence and abundance data sampled across multiple land-use types70. We removed 30 datasets because they lacked abundance data...

Aim Plant functional traits can influence interaction outcomes between nurse and target plants through a “functional trait match”, which occurs when the traits of nurse plants ameliorate their envir.....

Le Collège de France « ne prône, ni n’encourage, ni ne soutient aucune forme de militantisme », a affirmé l’établissement qui assure de sa « stricte neutralité (…) au regard des questions de nature po...

To understand, measure and mitigate biodiversity change, science and policy need to differentiate between diagnostic indicators that capture as many different biodiversity facets as needed, outcome-o...

As droughts become longer and more intense, impacts on terrestrial primary productivity are expected to increase progressively. Yet, some ecosystems appear to acclimate to multiyear drought, with cons...

Semi-natural grasslands have the potential to sequester carbon and enhance biodiversity and therefore offer opportunities as nature-based solutions fo…

Land use has diminished global vegetation and soil carbon stocks, contributing substantially to global warming. Our research provides a consistent and unprecedentedly detailed global estimate of the t...

What happens when the greatest strengths of science, such as openness, humility, self-criticism and self-correction, are exploited for political gain? This Perspective calls for scientists to affirm t...
