Journal ArticleDOI
A history of research on the link between (micro)aggregates, soil biota, and soil organic matter dynamics
TL;DR: In this article, Tisdall and Oades [J. Soil Sci. 62 (1982) 141] coined the aggregate hierarchy concept describing a spatial scale dependence of mechanisms involved in micro- and macroaggregate formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eutrophication: impacts of excess nutrient inputs on freshwater, marine, and terrestrial ecosystems
TL;DR: Two brief case studies demonstrate that nutrient loading restriction is the essential cornerstone of aquatic eutrophication control, and results of a preliminary statistical analysis are presented consistent with the hypothesis that anthropogenic emissions of oxidized nitrogen could be influencing atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide via nitrogen stimulation of global primary production.

The future of seagrass meadows
TL;DR: In this article, a review summarizes the threats and trends of seagrass loss and considers likely changes to the 2025 time horizon, concluding that present losses are expected to accelerate, particularly in South-east Asia and the Caribbean, as human pressure on the coastal zone grows.

TL;DR: It is concluded that a functional relationship, which the authors term the “luxury effect,” may link human resource abundance (wealth) and plant diversity in urban ecosystems.

Tillage systems and soil ecology
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of tillage practices on soil organism populations, functions, and interactions are discussed, and challenges for tillage researchers are discussed as well as a discussion of challenges for researchers.
