Tree species diversity and mycorrhizal associations play a central role for forest productivity, but factors driving positive biodiversity-productivity relationships remain poorly understood. In biodiversity experiment manipulating tree associations, we examined the roles of above- belowground processes in modulating wood productivity young temperate communities potential underlying mechanisms. We found that richness, not increased by enhancing aboveground structural complexity within...

Abstract Plant diversity effects on community productivity often increase over time. Whether the strengthening of is caused by temporal shifts in species-level overyielding (i.e., higher diverse communities compared with monocultures) remains unclear. Here, using data from 65 grassland and forest biodiversity experiments, we show that strength at scale underpinned changes species yield. These trends are shaped plant ecological strategies, which can be quantitatively delimited functional...

Abstract The frequency of consecutive drought years is predicted to increase due climate change. These droughts have strong negative impacts on forest ecosystems. Mixing tree species proposed the resistance and resilience communities. However, this promising diversity effect has not yet been investigated under extreme conditions in context complementary mycorrhizal associations their potential role improving water uptake. Here, we investigate whether promotes growth responses are modulated...

Abstract Tree species are known to predominantly interact either with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) or ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding whether these mycorrhizae differently influence biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF) relationships and combination of both can increase community productivity. In 2015, we established tree‐diversity experiment by growing tree communities varying richness levels (one, two, four species) AM EM both. We investigated...

Abstract Climate extremes in tandem with biodiversity change affect plant emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds, as a result, the formation secondary aerosols. The resulting aerosols can have wide variety impacts, such on Earth’s radiative balance or cloud- and precipitation formation. However, at present, it is unclear how changing will lead to changes compound emissions, their corresponding effects. We present conceptual framework relationships between based our current...

Among the most important impacts of biological invasions on biodiversity is biotic homogenization, which may further compromise key ecosystem processes. However, extent to they homogenize functional diversity and shift dominant ecological strategies invaded communities remains uncertain. Here, we investigated changes in plant a northern North American forest response invasive earthworms, by examining taxonomic community soil functions. We found that although did not change modified dominance...

Abstract Tree species diversity plays a central role for forest productivity, but factors driving positive biodiversity-productivity relationships remain poorly understood. In biodiversity experiment manipulating tree and mycorrhizal associations, we examined the roles of above- belowground processes in modulating wood productivity young temperate communities, as well potential underlying mechanisms.

Given the significant human-induced changes in biodiversity and climate, link between atmospheric biological measurements is crucial to improve our understanding of atmosphere-biosphere feedbacks. Changes climate influence emission biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) from plants, leading formation secondary aerosols (BSOA). These BSOA can have diverse effects, including influencing Earth's radiative balance impacting cloud precipitation formation. However, at present, it unclear how...
