    Nitrogen and phosphorus cycling in an ombrotrophic peatland: a benchmark for assessing change

    Slow decomposition and isolation from groundwater mean that ombrotrophic peatlands store a large amount of soil carbon (C) but have low availability of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). To better understand the...

    EcoFABs: advancing microbiome science through standardized fabricated ecosystems

    Microbiomes play critical roles in ecosystems and human health, yet in most cases scientists lack standardized and reproducible model microbial communities. The development of fabricated microbial ecosystems, ...

    Evolutionary history constrains microbial traits across environmental variation

    Organisms influence ecosystems, from element cycling to disturbance regimes, to trophic interactions and to energy partitioning. Microorganisms are part of this influence, and understanding their ecology in na...

    Mycorrhizal colonization and its relationship with plant performance differs between exotic and native grassland plant species

    Many grasslands have been transformed by exotic species with potentially novel ecological interactions. We hypothesized that exotic and native plant species differ, on average, in their percentage mycorrhizal ...

    Globally consistent influences of seasonal precipitation limit grassland biomass response to elevated CO2

    Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration should stimulate biomass production directly via biochemical stimulation of carbon assimilation, and indirectly via water savings caused by increased plant water...
