Increasing biodiversity and ecosystem functions along an age gradient of urban greenspaces
Urban greenspace soils show substantial ecological development over time, despite persistent urban constraints. • Soil organic matter is a key indicator of development and encourages diverse, complex microbial communities. • Shifts in microbial communities enhance potential metabolic activity and traits, aligning with natural ecosystems. • Management should prioritize long-term ecological health and soil organic matter over short-term aesthetics.…
Long-term climate warming substantially reduces global soil microbial richness
Dryland nitrogen deposition induces microbiome‐driven increases in biocrust respiration and losses of soil carbon
Biocrusts are a dominant component in drylands worldwide and play critical roles in supporting soil microbial diversity and carbon (C) stocks. Nitrogen (N) fertilization associated with human activities threatens drylands, which are often considered N‐limited ecosystems. Here, we conducted a field experiment in two contrasting soil types (loess vs. sand) to investigate the impacts of low (30 kg N ha −1 year −1 ) and high (90 kg N ha −1 year −1 ) …
Promoting effect of plant diversity on soil microbial functionality is amplified over time
Closing the gap between climate regulation and food security with nano iron oxides
Organic fertilization promotes the accumulation of soil particulate organic carbon in a 9‐year plantation experiment
Management practices are expected to influence the capacity of forests to mitigate climate change. However, the long‐term effects of afforestation on soil carbon accumulation in response to contrasting management regimes remain poorly understood. Here, we combined organic matter fractionation with a nine‐year‐long organic fertilization experiment to investigate the influences of largely accepted practices such as biochar (BC) and biogas‐slurry (B…
Effects of livestock overgrazing on the relationships between plant and microbial diversity across the temperate steppes in northern China
Livestock overgrazing has led to worldwide grassland degradation, posing a significant threat to plant and soil microbial diversity. However, little is known about whether livestock overgrazing influences plant and soil microbial diversity linkages. We examined relationships between plant and soil microbial beta diversity in eight pairs of ungrazed and overgrazed sites across temperate steppes in northern China. Our results revealed a positive co…
Ecosystem coupling: A unifying framework to understand the functioning and recovery of ecosystems
Global ecosystem thresholds driven by aridity
Thresholds of aridity Increasing aridity due to climate change is expected to affect multiple ecosystem structural and functional attributes in global drylands, which cover ∼45% of the terrestrial globe. Berdugo et al. show that increasing aridity promotes thresholds on the structure and functioning of drylands (see the Perspective by Hirota and Oliveira). Their database includes 20 variables summarizing multiple aspects and levels of ecological …
Microbial diversity drives multifunctionality in terrestrial ecosystems
Despite the importance of microbial communities for ecosystem services and human welfare, the relationship between microbial diversity and multiple ecosystem functions and services (that is, multifunctionality) at the global scale has yet to be evaluated. Here we use two independent, large-scale databases with contrasting geographic coverage (from 78 global drylands and from 179 locations across Scotland, respectively), and report that soil micro…
