The paper develops a framework to understand how biotic interactions modulate global change effects on plant communities and finds herbivores mitigate negative impacts while plant competition has mixed effects.

The paper examines how warming and plant invasion interact to affect carbon fluxes in New Zealand alpine grasslands, finding invader-specific responses and abiotic/functional trait controls.

This study shows that early snowmelt disrupts the timing of mycorrhizal fungal activity relative to plant demand, weakening nutrient cycling and ecosystem stability.

This study shows that earlier snowmelt increases the carbon sink strength in montane meadows by 22% early in the growing season, but this effect diminishes later in the season.

The paper shows that increased nitrogen deposition boosts soil carbon storage, but this effect is quickly reversed when nitrogen input stops.

The paper examines how alpine-plant communities respond to warming and loss of dominant species, finding varied and often combined responses across different sites.
