    100 years of anthropogenic impact causes changes in freshwater functional biodiversity

    Niamh Eastwood, Jiarui Zhou ... Luisa Orsini
    High-throughput systemic approaches on long-term trends identify the environmental factors that cause loss of biodiversity and disrupt ecosystem functions.

    Biodiversity mediates the effects of stressors but not nutrients on litter decomposition

    Léa Beaumelle, Frederik De Laender, Nico Eisenhauer
    The consequences of real-world biodiversity change for ecosystem functioning depend on the type of global change driver and can be particularly significant when human activities decrease biodiversity.

    The effect of host community functional traits on plant disease risk varies along an elevational gradient

    Fletcher W Halliday, Mikko Jalo, Anna-Liisa Laine
    Environmental gradients can modify a fundamental relationship between host community structure and disease, with implications for predicting disease risk in a changing world.

    Stability and asynchrony of local communities but less so diversity increase regional stability of Inner Mongolian grassland

    Yonghui Wang, Shaopeng Wang ... Bernhard Schmid
    The regional stability across distant local communities is related to the stability of and asynchronous dynamics among local communities, which are strongly impacted by population dynamics of a few abundant species and relative weakly by species diversity.

    Plant diversity maintains multiple soil functions in future environments

    Nico Eisenhauer, Jes Hines ... Peter B Reich
    Empirical evidence shows that conserving local plant diversity is a robust strategy to maintain multiple valuable ecosystem services provided by soils in both present and future environmental conditions.

    Global gradients in intertidal species richness and functional groups

    Jakob Thyrring, Lloyd S Peck
    No discernible latitudinal diversity gradient in rocky intertidal α-diversity as local-scale physical and biological processes outweigh global-scale environmental gradients.

    Rapid transgenerational adaptation in response to intercropping reduces competition

    Laura Stefan, Nadine Engbersen, Christian Schöb
    Annual crop communities are able to adapt towards reduced competition and/or increased facilitation in response to their neighboring diversity after only two generations.

    Tropical land use alters functional diversity of soil food webs and leads to monopolization of the detrital energy channel

    Zheng Zhou, Valentyna Krashevska ... Anton Potapov
    Tropical land use makes most soil animal groups shift to 'fast' energy channel and restructures soil food web at community level, but this change is buffered by earthworms at ecosystem (energetic) level.

    Rarity is a more reliable indicator of land-use impacts on soil invertebrate communities than other diversity metrics

    Andrew Dopheide, Andreas Makiola ... Ian A Dickie
    Rarity metrics reveal pervasive negative impacts of agricultural land use on soil invertebrate communities, whereas widely-used richness and diversity metrics underestimate the magnitude of these impacts.
    1. Ecology

    Tree species and genetic diversity increase productivity via functional diversity and trophic feedbacks

    Ting Tang, Naili Zhang ... Xiaojuan Liu
    Species and genetic diversity promote tree community productivity by increasing functional diversity and reducing herbivore damage and soil fungal diversity.
