TL;DR: The diversity of cascade effects, combined with the vast area invaded by earthworms, lead to regionally important changes in ecological functioning, which create cascade complexes that interact with climate change and other environmental changes.
Abstract: Non-native, invasive earthworms are altering soils throughout the world. Ecological cascades emanating from these changes stem from earthworm-caused changes in detritus processing occurring at a mid-point in the trophic pyramid, rather than the more familiar bottom-up or top-down cascades. They include fundamental changes (microcascades) in soil morphology, bulk density, nutrient leaching, and a shift to warmer, drier soil surfaces with loss of organic horizons. In North American temperate and boreal forests, microcascades cause effects of concern to society (macrocascades), including changes in CO2 sequestration, disturbance regimes, soil quality, water quality, forest productivity, plant communities, and wildlife habitat, and facilitation of other invasive species. Interactions among these changes create cascade complexes that interact with climate change and other environmental changes. The diversity of cascade effects, combined with the vast area invaded by earthworms, lead to regionally important changes in ecological functioning.

TL;DR: In both experiments, bias at exposure was found to predict bias at later stages of information processing (attention and memory) and the attitude-expressive goal manipulation activated its intended motivational processing strategy.
Abstract: Two experiments explored the role of information-processing capacity and strategies in regulating attitude-congruent selective exposure. In Experiment 1, participants were placed under time pressure and randomly assigned to conditions in which either an attitude-expressive or no-information processing goal was made salient. Analyses revealed an attitude-congruent selective exposure effect and indicated that this effect was stronger when an attitude-expressive goal was made salient than when no goal was made salient. In Experiment 2, information-processing goals and time pressure were factorially manipulated. Analyses revealed an attitude-congruent selective exposure effect and indicated that this effect was especially strong when time pressure was high and an attitude-expressive goal was made salient. In both experiments, bias at exposure was found to predict bias at later stages of information processing (attention and memory). Supplementary analyses and data confirmed that the attitude-expressive goal m...

TL;DR: The Tundra Trait Team (TTT) database as discussed by the authors includes field-based measurements of key traits related to plant form and function at multiple sites across the tundra biome.
Abstract: Motivation: The Tundra Trait Team (TTT) database includes field-based measurements of key traits related to plant form and function at multiple sites across the tundra biome. This dataset can be used to address theoretical questions about plant strategy and trade-offs, trait–environment relationships and environmental filtering, and trait variation across spatial scales, to validate satellite data, and to inform Earth system model parameters. Main types of variable contained: The database contains 91,970 measurements of 18 plant traits. The most frequently measured traits (> 1,000 observations each) include plant height, leaf area, specific leaf area, leaf fresh and dry mass, leaf dry matter content, leaf nitrogen, carbon and phosphorus content, leaf C:N and N:P, seed mass, and stem specific density. Spatial location and grain: Measurements were collected in tundra habitats in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, including Arctic sites in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Fennoscandia and Siberia, alpine sites in the European Alps, Colorado Rockies, Caucasus, Ural Mountains, Pyrenees, Australian Alps, and Central Otago Mountains (New Zealand), and sub-Antarctic Marion Island. More than 99% of observations are georeferenced. Time period and grain: All data were collected between 1964 and 2018. A small number of sites have repeated trait measurements at two or more time periods. Major taxa and level of measurement: Trait measurements were made on 978 terrestrial vascular plant species growing in tundra habitats. Most observations are on individuals (86%), while the remainder represent plot or site means or maximums per species. Software format: csv file and GitHub repository with data cleaning scripts in R; contribution to TRY plant trait database (www.try-db.org) to be included in the next version release.

TL;DR: Oore et al. as mentioned in this paper propose that the necessary short-term intensity of interpersonal conflict can bring about positive longer term consequences, including insight, connection, and strength, and synthesize research from organisational, family, social, and personality psychology identifying factors that support successful conflict responses.
Abstract: Although conflict at work is a fairly common and often distressing occurrence, it is arguably a vital and necessary element of human interaction. Relevant to this special issue on positive psychology, we propose that the necessary short-term intensity of interpersonal conflict can bring about positive longer term consequences, including insight, connection, and strength. We synthesize research from organisational, family, social, and personality psychology identifying factors that support successful conflict responses. Individual factors of cognitive flexibility, an appropriate balance of self- other focus, emotion regulation, and fit of the person to the conflict situation show promise for conflict success and appear to be trainable. Organisational interventions, including individual training, work group conflict training, and mediation, also demonstrate efficacy in building conflict skills. We conclude by proposing implications for conflict resolution interventions and critical directions for future research.Keywords: conflict resolution, interpersonal conflict, personality, organizational interventions, negotiationResumeLes conflits au travail sont plutot courants et sources de stress, mais ils demeurent peut-etre un element vital et necessaire des interactions humaines. Dans le cadre de cette livraison speciale sur la psychologie positive, nous proposons que l'intensite a court terme et necessaire qui caracterise les conflits interpersonnels peut resulter en des consequences positives a long terme, tels que la lucidite, des rapports et la force. L'article fait la synthese de recherches sur la psychologie organisationnelle, familiale, sociale et de la personnalite en vue de determiner les facteurs qui favorisent des reponses favorables aux conflits. Des caracteristiques individuelles, telles que la flexibilite cognitive, l'equilibre entre la focalisation sur soi et sur les autres, la maitrise des emotions et l'adaptation de la personne a la situation conflictuelle, constituent des elements prometteurs pour un conflit productif, des facteurs qui semblent s'apprendre. Les interventions organisationnelles, notamment la formation individuelle, la formation en groupes sur les conflits et la mediation, se revelent aussi efficaces dans l'acquisition de competences a composer avec les conflits. L'article se termine par des propositions d'implications pour les interventions de resolution de conflits et d'orientations determinantes pour les recherches futures.Mots-cles : resolution de conflits, conflit interpersonnel, personnalite, interventions organisationnelles, negociations.Organisational conflict has been defined in a multitude of ways, but a comprehensive definition is as follows:a state of social discord characterised by negative affect (e.g., frustration, anger, and anxiety) and the perception of interpersonal dissonance. People at work are in a state of conflict when one or more parties perceive that an ongoing or unresolved dispute poses a threat to any core human state (e.g., one's interests, identity, security, or sense of inclusion). (LeBlanc, Gilin Oore, & Axelrod, 2014,p.6).Psychological research on organisational conflict often differentiates two subtypes of conflict in work groups: task conflict (disagreements about tasks) versus relationship conflict (interpersonal friction, personality clashes; Jehn, 1995). As might be expected from this definition, research is clear that a high frequency of relationship conflict within a work group is detrimental (de Wit, Greer, & Jehn, 2012). Work groups with high relationship conflict show greater turnover, absenteeism, and work dissatisfaction; have lower team productivity (Ayoko, Callan, & Hartel, 2003; Chiaburu & Harrison, 2008; van Vianen & De Dreu, 2001); and show increased reactivity to job stressors (Gilin Oore et al., 2010) compared with work teams that have lower relationship conflict.Poorly handled organisational conflict is commonplace, and is costly in both economic and human terms. …
