Biodiversity promotes ecosystem functioning despite environmental change

Abstract Three decades of research have demonstrated that biodiversity can promote the functioning ecosystems. Yet, it is unclear whether positive effects on ecosystem will persist under various types global environmental change drivers. We conducted a meta‐analysis 46 factorial experiments manipulating both species richness and environment to test how drivers (i.e. warming, drought, nutrient addition or CO 2 enrichment) modulated effect multiple functions across three taxonomic groups (microbes, phytoplankton plants). found increased in ambient manipulated environments, but often not same degree. In particular, were larger stressful environments induced by drivers, indicating high‐diversity communities more resistant change. Using subset studies, we also mainly driven interspecific complementarity these over time environments. Our findings support conservation as key strategy for sustainable management face

Multiple anthropogenic pressures eliminate the effects of soil microbial diversity on ecosystem functions in experimental microcosms

Abstract Biodiversity is crucial for the provision of ecosystem functions. However, ecosystems are now exposed to a rapidly growing number anthropogenic pressures, and it remains unknown whether biodiversity can still promote functions under multifaceted pressures. Here we investigated effects soil microbial diversity on properties when faced with an increasing simultaneous global change factors in experimental microcosms. Higher had positive effect no or few (i.e., 1–4) were applied, but this was eliminated by co-occurrence numerous factors. This attributable reduction fungal abundance relative ecological cluster coexisting bacterial taxa. Our study indicates that reducing pressures should be goal management, addition conservation.

Core phylotypes enhance the resistance of soil microbiome to environmental changes to maintain multifunctionality in agricultural ecosystems

Global Change Biology, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 28(22), С. 6653 - 6664

Agricultural ecosystems are facing increasing environmental changes. Revealing ecological stability of belowground organisms is key to developing management strategies that maintain agricultural ecosystem services in a changing world. Here, we collected soils from adjacent pairs maize and rice fields along large spatial scale across Eastern Southeast China investigate the importance core microbiota as predictor resistance soil microbiome (e.g. bacteria, fungi protist) climate changes nutrient fertilization, their effect on multiple functions, representing for crop growth health agro-ecosystems. Soil exhibited stronger than soils, by considering aspects index, example, community, phylogenetic conservation network complexity. Community showed geographic pattern, with higher at lower latitudes, suggesting warmer regions. Particularly, highlighted role phylotypes enhancing community microbiome, which was essential maintenance multifunctionality ecosystems. Our results represent significant advance linking therefore forecasting agro-ecosystems dynamics response ongoing These suggest should be considered factor sustainability productivity under global change scenarios.

Understanding ‘it depends’ in ecology: a guide to hypothesising, visualising and interpreting statistical interactions

Biological reviews/Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 98(4), С. 983 - 1002

Опубликована: Март 1, 2023

ABSTRACT Ecologists routinely use statistical models to detect and explain interactions among ecological drivers, with a goal evaluate whether an effect of interest changes in sign or magnitude different contexts. Two fundamental properties are often overlooked during the process hypothesising, visualising interpreting between drivers: measurement scale – response is analysed on additive multiplicative scale, such as ratio logarithmic scale; symmetry dependencies considered both directions. Overlooking these can lead one more three inferential errors: misinterpretation ( i ) detection (Type‐D error), ii modification (Type‐S error); iii misidentification underlying processes (Type‐A error). We illustrate each errors broad range questions applied empirical simulated data sets. demonstrate how meta‐analysis, widely used approach that seeks explicitly characterise context dependence, especially prone all errors. Based insights, we propose guidelines improve hypothesis generation, testing, visualisation interpretation ecology.

Biodiversity increases resistance of grasslands against plant invasions under multiple environmental changes

Nature Communications, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 15(1)

Опубликована: Май 27, 2024

Abstract Biodiversity often helps communities resist invasion. However, it is unclear whether this diversity–invasion relationship holds true under environmental changes. Here, we conduct a meta-analysis of 1010 observations from 25 grassland studies in which plant species richness manipulated together with one or more change factors to test invasibility (measured by biomass cover invaders). We find that biodiversity increases resistance invaders across various conditions. the positive effect on invasion strengthened experimental warming, whereas weakened experimentally imposed drought. When multiple are simultaneously, strengthened. Overall, show invasions Therefore, investment protection and restoration native not only important for prevention current conditions but also continued global change.
