TL;DR: The results of this survey suggest that the impacts of nitrogen deposition can be observed over a large geographical range, suggesting that to protect the most sensitive grasslands resources should be focussed where deposition is currently low.

TL;DR: Across an 11,660-kilometer latitudinal gradient spanning six continents, increasing predation toward the equator is found, with a parallel pattern of increasingpredation toward lower elevations, suggesting consistent drivers of biotic interaction strength.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, contrary to what is expected under ubiquitous dispersal, evidence of regional-scale metacommunity processes can be detected in microbial morphospecies, implying that the microbial and macrobial world are structured by analogous processes.

TL;DR: It is concluded that thermal variability within 1-km(2) units strongly increases local spatial buffering of future climate warming across Northern Europe, even in the flattest terrains.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of fire and grazing on plant species composition and diversity along local environmental (moisture) gradients in coastal heathlands were investigated, showing that the two management practices do not have simple additive effects within the semi-natural system studied, as grazing created ecological opportunities for additional sets of species, increased variability among habitats, and added complexity to the post-fire successional dynamics.
