The Broken Window: An algorithm for quantifying and characterizing misleading trajectories in ecological processes

The paper introduces the broken_window algorithm to assess the reliability of short-term ecological trends by resampling long-term data and evaluating the likelihood of misleading trajectories.

Long-term research needed to avoid spurious and misleading trends in sustainability attributes of no-till

This study shows that long-term studies are essential to accurately assess the sustainability benefits of no-till agriculture, as short-term trends can be misleading.

A global synthesis reveals biodiversity-mediated benefits for crop production

This study shows that biodiversity, not just abundance, is crucial for maintaining ecosystem services like pollination and pest control, which support crop yields.
