      Moles, Angela; Flores Moreno, Habacuc; Bonser, Stephen P.; Warton, David I.; Helm, Aveliina; Warman, Laura; Eldridge, David J.; Jurado, Enrique; Hemmings, Frank A.; Reich, Peter B.; Cavender Bares, Jeannine; Seabloom, Eric William; Mayfield, Margaret M.; Sheil, Douglas; Djietror, Jonathan C.; Peri, Pablo Luis; Enrico, Lucas; Cabido, Marcelo Ruben; Setterfield, Samantha; Lehman, Caroline; Thomson, Fiona (Wiley, 2012-01)
      We provide a brief overview of progress in our understanding of introduced plant species. Three main conclusions emerge from our review: (i) Many lines of research, including the search for traits that make species good ...

      Ochoa-Hueso, Raúl; Eldridge, David J.; Delgado-Baquerizo, Manuel; Soliveres, Santiago; Bowker, Matthew A.; Gross, Nicolás; Le Bagousse-Pinguet, Yoann; Quero, José L.; García-Gómez, Miguel; Valencia, Enrique; Arredondo, Tulio; Beinticinco, Laura; Bran, Donaldo Eduardo; Cea, Alex; Coaguila, Daniel; Dougill, Andrew J.; Espinosa, Carlos I.; Gaitan, Juan Jose; Guuroh, Reginald T.; Guzmán, Elizabeth; Gutiérrez, Julio R.; Hernández, Rosa M.; Huber-Sannwald, Elisabeth; Jeffries, Thomas; Linstädter, Anja; Mau, Rebecca L.; Monerris, Jorge; Prina, Anibal; Pucheta, Eduardo; Stavi, Ilan; Thomas, Andrew; Zaady, Eli; Singh, Brajesh K.; Maestre, Fernando Tomás (2018)
      Dryland vegetation is characterized by discrete plant patches that accumulate and capture soil resources under their canopies. These “fertile islands” are major drivers of dryland ecosystem structure and functioning, yet ...
    • Vulnerability of mineral-associated soil organic carbon to climate across global drylands 

      Díaz-Martínez, Paloma; Maestre, Fernando Tomás; Moreno, Eduardo; Delgado-Baquerizo, Manuel; Eldridge, David J.; Ahumada, Rodrigo José; Aramayo, Maria Valeria Del Luján; Bran, Donaldo Eduardo; Ferrante, Daniela; Gaitan, Juan Jose; Oliva, Gabriel Esteban; Quiroga, Raul Emiliano; Plaza de Carlos, César (Springer Nature, 2024-07)
      Mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) constitutes a major fraction of global soil carbon and is assumed less sensitive to climate than particulate organic carbon (POC) due to protection by minerals. Despite its importance ...
