Multidimensional responses of ecological stability to eutrophication in grasslands

Q. Chen, S.-P. Wang, E. T. Borer, J. D. Bakker, E. W. Seabloom, W. S. Harpole, N. Eisenhauer, Y. Lekberg, Y. M. Buckley, J. A. Catford, C. Roscher, I. Donohue, S. A. Power, P. Daleo, A. Ebeling, , Y. Hautier

This study quantifies how nutrient addition affects ecological stability facets in grasslands, finding reduced resistance in species richness and community composition but not biomass.

Bayesian analyses of radiocarbon dates on rice reveal geographic variations in the rate of agricultural dispersal in prehistoric Japan

E. R. Crema, C. J. Stevens, S. Shoda

This study uses Bayesian analysis of radiocarbon dates to show varying rates of rice farming dispersal across prehistoric Japan, suggesting mixed demic and cultural diffusion processes.

The Evolutionary History of Wild, Domesticated, and Feral Brassica oleracea (Brassicaceae)

M. E. Mabry, S. D. Turner, E. Y. Gallagher, A. C. McAlvay, H. An, P. P. Edger, J. D. Moore, D. A. C. Pink, G. R. Teakle, C. J. Stevens, G. Barker, J. Labate, D. Q. Fuller, R. G. Allaby, T. M. Beissinger, , C. Pires

This study clarifies the evolutionary history of Brassica oleracea by identifying B. cretica as its closest wild relative and revealing feral lineages, supporting an Eastern Mediterranean origin.

Multiple resource limitations explain biomass-precipitation relationships in grasslands

S. Bharath, P. B. Adler, P. A. Fay, E. Seabloom, Y. Hautier, L. Biederman, M. N. Bugalho, M. Caldeira, A. Eskelinen, J. M. H. Knops, R. McCulley, J. Morgan, S. A. Power, A. C. Risch, M. Schuetz, , E. T. Borer

This study shows that grassland biomass is co-limited by nutrients and water, with nutrient availability affecting precipitation sensitivity regardless of aridity or herbivory.

Comment on Pescott & Jitlal 2020: Failure to account for measurement error undermines their conclusion of a weak impact of nitrogen deposition on plant species richness

S. M. Smart, C. J. Stevens, S. J. Tomlinson, L. C. Maskell, P. A. Henrys

The paper critiques Pescott & Jitlal 2020's conclusion about nitrogen deposition's weak impact on plant species richness, showing their analysis failed to account for measurement error in nitrogen deposition data.

A novel cost framework reveals evidence for competitive selection in the evolution of complex traits during plant domestication

R. G. Allaby, C. J. Stevens, D. Q. Fuller

The paper introduces a cost framework for competitive selection, showing it differs from environmental selection in intensity and timing, and applies it to grain metrics of archaeological crops.
