      Eutrophication is a widespread environmental change that usually reduces the stabilizing effect of plant diversity on productivity in local communities. Whether this effect is scale dependent remains to be elucidated. Here, ...
    • Mineral fertilization impacts microbial activity and endophytic fungi but not microbial biomass in semiarid grasslands 

      Toledo, Santiago; Gargaglione, Veronica Beatriz; Peri, Pablo Luis (Elsevier, 2024-01)
      Applications of mineral fertilizer to grasslands have become more frequent in recent decades to increase forage production. However, the impacts of mineral fertilizer on the soil microbiome is poorly understood in cold ...
    • Nitrogen but not phosphorus addition affects symbiotic N2 fixation by legumes in natural and semi‑natural grasslands located on four continents 

      Vázquez, Eduardo; Schleuss, Per‑Marten; Borer, Elizabeth T.; Bugalho, Miguel N.; Caldeira, Maria. C.; Eisenhauer, Nico; Eskelinen, Anu; Fay, Philip A.; Haider, Sylvia; Jentsch, Anke; Kirkman, Kevin P.; McCulley, Rebecca L.; Peri, Pablo Luis; Price, Jodi; Richards, Anna E.; Risch, Anita C.; Roscher, Christiane; Schütz, Martin; Seabloom, Eric William; Standish, Rachel J.; Stevens, Carly J.; Tedder, Michelle J.; Virtanen, Risto; Spohn, Marie (Springer Nature, 2022-09)
      The amount of nitrogen (N) derived from symbiotic N2 fixation by legumes in grasslands might be affected by anthropogenic N and phosphorus (P) inputs, but the underlying mechanisms are not known. Methods We evaluated ...
    • Nothing lasts forever: Dominant species decline under rapid environmental change in global grasslands 

      Wilfahrt, Peter A.; Seabloom, Eric William; Bakker, Jonathan D.; Biederman, Lori A.; Bugalho, Miguel N.; Cadotte, Marc W.; Caldeira, Maria C.; Catford, Jane A.; Chen, Qingqing; Donohue, Ian; Peri, Pablo Luis; Borer, Elizabeth T. (British Ecological Society, 2023-11)
      1. Dominance often indicates one or a few species being best suited for resource capture and retention in a given environment. Press perturbations that change availability of limiting resources can restructure competitive ...
    • Nutrient availability controls the impact of mammalian herbivores on soil carbon and nitrogen pools in grasslands 

      Sitters, Judith; Wubs, E.R. Jasper; Bakker, Elisabeth S.; Crowther, Thomas W.; Adler, Peter B.; Bagchi, Sumanta; Bakker, Jonathan D.; Biederman, Lori; Borer, Elizabeth T.; Cleland, Elsa E.; Eisenhauer, Nico; Firn, Jennifer L.; Gherardi, Laureano A.; Hagenah, Nicole; Hautier, Yann; Hobbie, Sarah E.; Knops, Johannes M.H.; MacDougall, Andrew S.; McCulley, Rebecca L.; Moore, Joslin L.; Mortensen, Brent; Peri, Pablo Luis; Prober, Suzanne M.; Riggs, Charlotte E.; Risch, Anita C.; Schütz, Martin; Seabloom, Eric William; Siebert, Julia; Stevens, Carly J.; Veen, G.F. (Ciska) (Wiley, 2020-02)
      Grasslands are subject to considerable alteration due to human activities globally, including widespread changes in populations and composition of large mammalian herbivores and elevated supply of nutrients. Grassland soils ...
    • Spatial heterogeneity in species composition constrains plant community responses to herbivory and fertilisation 

      Hodapp, Dorothee; Borer, Elizabeth T.; Harpole, William Stanley; Lind, Eric M.; Seabloom, Eric William; Adler, Peter B.; Alberti, Juan; Arnillas, Carlos Alberto; Bakker, Jonathan D.; Biederman, Lori; Cadotte, Marc; Cleland, Elsa E.; Collins, Scott; Fay, Philip A.; Firn, Jennifer L.; Hagenah, Nicole; Hautier, Yann; Iribarne, Oscar; Knops, Johannes M.H.; McCulley, Rebecca L.; MacDougall, Andrew S.; Moore, Joslin L.; Morgan, John W.; Mortensen, Brent; La Pierre, Kimberly J.; Risch, Anita C.; Schütz, Martin; Peri, Pablo Luis; Stevens, Carly J.; Wright, Justin P.; Hillebrand, Helmut (Wiley, 2018-09)
      Environmental change can result in substantial shifts in community composition. The associated immigration and extinction events are likely constrained by the spatial distribution of species. Still, studies on environmental ...
