Microbially mediated mechanisms underlie soil carbon accrual by conservation agriculture under decade-long warming
(Nature Research, 8 January 2024)Increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) in croplands by switching from conventional to conservation management may be hampered by stimulated microbial decomposition under warming. Here, we test the interactive effects of ... -
A positive feedback to climate change: The effect of temperature on the respiration of key wood-decomposing fungi does not decline with time
(Wiley, 7 March 2024)Heterotrophic soil microorganisms are responsible for ~50% of the carbon dioxide released by respiration from the terrestrial biosphere each year. The respiratory response of soil microbial communities to warming, and the ... -
Elevated CO2 interacts with nutrient inputs to restructure plant communities in phosphorus-limited grasslands
(Wiley, 4 January 2024)Globally pervasive increases in atmospheric CO2 and nitrogen (N) deposition could have substantial effects on plant communities, either directly or mediated by their interactions with soil nutrient limitation. While the ... -
Coral restoration can drive rapid reef carbonate budget recovery (dataset)
(University of Exeter, 12 March 2024)Restoration is increasingly seen as a necessary tool to reverse ecological decline across terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Considering the unprecedented loss of coral cover and associated reef ecosystem services, active ... -
Climate change impacts on mesophotic regions of the Great Barrier Reef
(National Academy of Sciences, 8 April 2024)Climate change projections for coral reefs are founded exclusively on sea surface temperatures (SST). While SST projections are relevant for the shallowest reefs, neglecting ocean stratification overlooks the striking ...
