Green roofs are known to mitigate the negative effects of urban consolidation by offering diverse ecosystem functions compared to non-vegetated roofs. However, the support for native biodiversity might be improved by using native plant species. In a

Despite knowledge of the interaction between climate change factors significant uncertainty exists concerning the individual and interactive effects of elevated carbon dioxide (eCO2) and elevated temperature (eT) on the soil microbiome and function.

Calcareous grasslands are highly biodiverse semi-natural habitats. A particular challenge to European calcareous grassland management in recent years has been the increasing dominance of the competitive grass Brachypodium pinnatum . B. pinnatum is di

Human activities accelerate acidification, particularly as acid rain, which may have lasting impacts on soil abiotic and biotic parameters. However, the effects of acidification on aboveground vegetation, belowground communities, and carbon cycling r

Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are common to dryland ecosystems and can influence a broad suite of soil ecological functions including stability and surface hydrology. Due to long recovery times following disturbance, there is a clear need for re

Bacteria and fungi are the primary consumers and, thus, the decomposition pathways are described accordingly as bacterial-based or fungal-based energy channels. However, the fungi to bacteria ratios (F: B), which indicated either by microbial biomass

Increasing economic growth and industrial development in China is starting to impact even remote areas such as the Shennongjia nature reserve, where nitrogen pollution is becoming a major environmental threat. The epiphytic lichen flora is particular

The impact of climate change on Antarctic plants is not only associated to the effect of increased temperature but also strongly modulated by water availability (WA) illustrating the importance of this factor in predicting responses to warming. The a

Plant kin recognition has been confirmed in some plant species, but it remains unclear how kin recognition is related to soil conditions such as fertility and heavy metal stress (Lead or Cadmium). A three-factor experiment based on soil fertility, ne

There is theoretical, empirical and modeled evidence that atmospheric enrichment of carbon dioxide (CO2) is driving the conversion of open savannas to woodlands (i.e., woody thickening or bush encroachment). This study measured the impacts of availab
