Learn how plants communicate through chemical signals, and why losing biodiversity can disrupt these hidden communication ...

It’s a fundamental question for ecologists in this age: How are biodiversity losses reshaping how ecosystems function? A recent study quantifies the impact of biodiversity and abundance losses on ...

Block plantations like these may look efficient, but research shows that more diverse and randomised tree arrangements boost forest productivity and ecosystem health. A new paper published in Nature ...

Grassland degradation fundamentally reshapes how biodiversity supports ecosystem multifunctionality, shifting it from being plant-dominated to being mediated by soil microbes, according to a new study ...

Humans have been modifying natural environments for millennia, leading to a deep co-evolution between social and natural systems. As a result, areas ...

A new study reveals that invasive plants are reshaping soil microbial communities across the U.S., making them more uniform and altering how ecosystems function. Invasive plants are doing more than ...
