Impact of tropical land-use change on soil organic carbon stocks - a meta-analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, a global meta-analysis of 385 studies on land-use change in the tropics were explored to estimate the organic carbon (SOC) stock changes for all major land use change types.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bottom-up effects of plant diversity on multitrophic interactions in a biodiversity experiment

TL;DR: It is shown that plant diversity effects dampen with increasing trophic level and degree of omnivory, and the results suggest that plant Diversity has strong bottom-up effects on multitrophic interaction networks, with particularly strong effects on lower trophIC levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temporal dynamics of soil organic carbon after land-use change in the temperate zone ― carbon response functions as a model approach

TL;DR: In this article, carbon response functions (CRFs) were derived to model the temporal dynamic of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks after five different LUC types (mean soil depth of 30±6cm).
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of biodiversity for element cycling and trophic interactions: an experimental approach in a grassland community

TL;DR: The experimental design explicitly addresses criticisms provoked by previous biodiversity experiments, in particular, the choice of functional groups, the statistical separation of sampling versus complementarity effects, and testing for the effects of particular functional groups differ from previous experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trophic levels are differentially sensitive to climate

TL;DR: It is found that sensitivity increases significantly with increasing trophic level, which would lead to community destabilization under climate change, not simple geographical shifts, and consequently must be incorporated in predictive ecological climate models.
