Journal ArticleDOI
Drought neutralises plant–soil feedback of two mesic grassland forbs
Ellen L. Fry,Giles N. Johnson,Amy L. Hall,W. James Pritchard,James M. Bullock,Richard D. Bardgett +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that drought neutralises PSFs of two grassland forbs, which could have implications for plant communities under climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of species evenness and dominant species identity on multiple ecosystem functions in model grassland communities
TL;DR: By the end of the growing season, evenness consistently enhanced ecosystem functioning and this effect occurred regardless of dominant species identity, which highlights the importance of understanding the role of multiple community attributes in driving ecosystem functioning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial responses to warming enhance soil carbon loss following translocation across a tropical forest elevation gradient
Andrew T. Nottingham,Andrew T. Nottingham,Jeanette Whitaker,Nick Ostle,Richard D. Bardgett,Niall P. McNamara,Noah Fierer,Norma Salinas,Adan J. Q. Ccahuana,Benjamin L. Turner,Patrick Meir,Patrick Meir +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that warming caused a considerable loss of soil carbon that was enhanced by associated changes in microbial physiology that were enhanced by increased microbial carbon-use-efficiency, shifts in community composition towards microbial taxa associated with warmer temperatures, and increased activity of hydrolytic enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid microbial uptake and mineralization of amino acids and peptides along a grassland productivity gradient
TL;DR: It is estimated that amino acid and peptide pools occurring in the most productive grassland soils may turnover at a rate of up to 20 times a minute, representing a very considerable flux of N through the soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental myopia: a diagnosis and a remedy
Jonathan Silvertown,J. R. B. Tallowin,Carly J. Stevens,Sally A. Power,Vicky Morgan,Bridget A. Emmett,Alison J. Hester,J. Philip Grime,Michael D. Morecroft,Robin Buxton,Paul R. Poulton,Richard Jinks,Richard D. Bardgett +12 more
TL;DR: A new non-profit organization called the Ecological Continuity Trust seeks to provide a solution to this problem by establishing an endowment that will be specifically earmarked to sustain LTEs as a scientific tool for the benefit of future generations.
