Biochar and its effects on plant productivity and nutrient cycling: a meta‐analysis
TL;DR: The first quantitative review of the effects of biochar on multiple ecosystem functions and the central tendencies suggest that biochar holds promise in being a win-win-win solution to energy, carbon storage, and ecosystem function as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Testing the hypothesis that herbaceous plant species losses caused by eutrophication may be offset by increased light availability due to herbivory demonstrates that nutrients and herbivores can serve as counteracting forces to control local plant diversity through light limitation, independent of site productivity, soil nitrogen, herbivore type and climate.

TL;DR: This article conducted a standardized sampling in 48 herbaceous-dominated plant communities on five continents and found no clear relationship between productivity and fine-scale (meters−2) richness within sites, within regions, or across the globe.

TL;DR: It is suggested that species origin has functional significance, and that eutrophication will lead to increased exotic dominance in grasslands.

TL;DR: It is shown that combining laboratory measurements with environmental data greatly improves predictions of field Nmin at a global scale and that potential soil net Nmin data could be parameterised with soil and climate data to better predict realised Nmin.
