Climate change increases plant species richness in alpine ecosystems. However, to what extent this diversity enrichment masks extinction dynamics of resident species remains elusive. In this study, we...

The awards highlight weird, funny and improbable research that also makes you think.

Nature - If reviewers can’t reliably tell the difference between top grant proposals, why should they pretend they can? A new wave of funders is turning to lotteries to break the tie.

A process-rich global biogeochemical model is used to determine the trade-offs between carbon dioxide removal efficiency and ecosystem impacts in ten ocean ocean biomes following ocean iron ...

Una docena de investigadores repartirá grabadoras por España para registrar cómo reaccionan aves y murciélagos al falso atardecer del 12 de agosto

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...

Using warming microcosms across 100 paired sites, a global meta-analysis and microbiome manipulation experiments, this study shows that agricultural microbiomes confer higher compositional and multifu...

Four charts provide valuable insights into the spectrum of climate solutions.

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 (...

Tras una revisión, la Agencia Española de Medicamentos y Productos Sanitarios concluye que "la evidencia es insuficiente para hacer una recomendación de tratamiento" con estos productos, cuyo principa...

Analysis of 41 million papers finds that although AI expands individual impact, it narrows collective scientific exploration

The temporal stability of yield, defined as the ratio between mean yield and standard deviation (SD) of yield across years, is a major agricultural go…

Background Urban greenspaces have the potential to mitigate urban carbon footprints by storing soil organic carbon (SOC). Different management and plant communities associated with different types of ...

Thawing permafrost emissions could accelerate climate change as Arctic soils become 25x to 100x more permeable, releasing much more gas.

High-latitude soils are future soil organic carbon loss hotspots, with losses dominated by particulate organic carbon (POC). The fraction of POC in total SOC (fPOC) is a key indicator, emphasizing the...

Ecosystems is an international journal that bridges fundamental ecology, environmental ecology, and environmental problem-solving across diverse temporal and ...

In this Review, the authors describe current knowledge of microbial phosphorus cycling in terrestrial ecosystems and discuss how microbial communities respond to environmental and anthropogenic pressu...

Background Urban greenspaces have the potential to mitigate urban carbon footprints by storing soil organic carbon (SOC). Different management and plant communities associated with different types of ...

Aim Microbiome rewilding seeks to harness plant-microbe interactions for sustainable agriculture, assuming that ancestral microbial partners have been lost during domestication and geographical spre.....

The response of soil carbon to warming is critical feedback that has been difficult to constrain. This study uses a long-term experiment to show that precipitation modulates microbial and therefore ca...
