New publication from Dietrich et al. in Ecology and Evolution: Plant history and soil history jointly influence the selection environment for plant species in a long‐term grassland biodiversity experiment
Long‐term biodiversity experiments have shown increasing strengths of biodiversity effects on plant productivity over time. However, little is known about rapid evolutionary processes in response to plant community diversity, which…

New publication from Wang et al. in Ecology: Biotic homogenization destabilizes ecosystem functioning by decreasing spatial asynchrony
Our planet is facing significant changes of biodiversity across spatial scales. Although the negative effects of local biodiversity (α diversity) loss on ecosystem stability are well documented, the consequences of…

New publication from Strecker et al. in Ecology and Evolution: Incorporation of mineral nitrogen into the soil food web as affected by plant community composition
Although nitrogen (N) deposition is increasing globally, N availability still limits many organisms, such as microorganisms and mesofauna. However, little is known to which extent soil organisms rely on mineral‐derived…

New publication from Guimarães‐Steinicke et al. in Journal of Ecology: Biodiversity facets affect community surface temperature via 3D canopy structure in grassland communities
Canopy structure is an important driver of the energy budget of grassland ecosystem and is, at the same time, altered by plant diversity. Diverse plant communities typically have taller and…

New publication from Marr et al. in Scientific Data: LC-MS based plant metabolic profiles of thirteen grassland species grown in diverse neighbourhoods
In plants, secondary metabolite profiles provide a unique opportunity to explore seasonal variation and responses to the environment. These include both abiotic and biotic factors. In field experiments, such stress…
