The paper links terrestrial land cover changes to fish diversity in a subtropical river catchment, showing LULC effects up to 20 km upstream and explaining 60% of species richness variance.

This study shows that higher tree species diversity enhances forest temperature buffering across multiple time scales, mediated by canopy density and structural diversity.

The paper identifies a spatial land-water fingerprint linking riverine eDNA diversity to terrestrial RS spectral diversity in a mountainous catchment.

The paper identifies a gene, AtSUC8, whose allelic differences contribute to increased productivity in mixed Arabidopsis thaliana genotypes by affecting root growth sensitivity to substrate pH.

The paper identifies a genetic locus that promotes cooperation in plant stands, increasing productivity in high-density monocultures by reducing root competition and enhancing disease resistance.

The paper examines how plant community history, soil legacy, and plant diversity influence soil microbial communities over time in a field experiment.

The paper shows that reducing microbial diversity in landfill soil decreases methane consumption rates, indicating universal biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships across taxa.

The paper identifies a single genetic locus responsible for increased plant community productivity in diverse Arabidopsis accessions, showing that allelic diversity enhances above-ground biomass and soil legacy effects.
