Arthropod species loss underpins biomass declines Open
Recent declines in arthropod diversity, abundance and biomass are central to the global biodiversity crisis. Yet, we lack a mechanistic understanding of the respective contributions of species richness, species identity and abundance to ov…

How size and resource traits control species' biomass in monoculture and mixture and drive biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships Open
Humans are driving unprecedented environmental change, causing the loss of species from local ecosystems. This local species loss is likely to result in declines in ecosystem functioning but understanding why these so‐called biodiversity–e…

Resource inequality limits transfer of nutrients from soils to plants in experimental grassland Open
A system's functioning is influenced not only by resource availability but also, likely, by resource inequality. In ecological systems most experimental manipulations of resource availability typically focused on homogeneous resource addit…

JenaTron - An Experimental Approach to Study the Effects of Plant History and Soil History on Grassland Ecosystem Functioning Open
The global loss of biodiversity has motivated many studies that experimentally vary plant species richness and examine the consequences for ecosystem functioning. Such experiments generally show a positive relationship between above- and b…

The Influence of Multitrophic Soil Biodiversity on Carbon Stabilization Open
The role of multitrophic diversity in regulating soil carbon dynamics remains unclear, yet understanding these dynamics is essential for enhancing soil health and carbon storage. This study examines how tree mycorrhizal diversity and soil …

Plant diversity facets differentially affect energy dynamics in grasslands depending on trophic contexts Open
The strength of biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF) relationships varies within and across studies, depending on the investigated ecosystem function and diversity facet (e.g., species richness or functional composition), limiting our …

Seasonal shifts in plant diversity effects on above‐ground–below‐ground phenological synchrony Open
The significance of biological diversity as a mechanism that optimizes niche breadth for resource acquisition and enhancing ecosystem functionality is well‐established. However, a significant gap remains in exploring temporal niche breadth…

The multiple-mechanisms hypothesis of biodiversity–stability relationships Open
Long-term research in grassland biodiversity experiments has provided empirical evidence that ecological and evolutionary processes are intertwined in determining both biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF) and biodiversity–stability rel…

Seasonal shifts in plant diversity effects on aboveground-belowground phenological synchrony Open
INTRODUCTIONCompelling evidence shows that biodiversity enhances essential ecosystem functions, such as productivity and decomposition rates (Loreau & Hector 2001; Hooper et al., 2005; Cardinale et al., 2012). One primary underlying reason…

Artificial light at night decreases plant diversity and performance in experimental grassland communities Open
Artificial light at night (ALAN) affects many areas of the world and is increasing globally. To date, there has been limited and inconsistent evidence regarding the consequences of ALAN for plant communities, as well as for the fitness of …

Insect communities under skyglow: diffuse night-time illuminance induces spatio-temporal shifts in movement and predation Open
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is predicted to have far-reaching consequences for natural ecosystems given its influence on organismal physiology and behaviour, species interactions and community composition. Movement and predation are f…

Artificial light at night (ALAN) causes shifts in soil communities and functions Open
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is increasing worldwide, but its effects on the soil system have not yet been investigated. We tested the influence of experimental manipulation of ALAN on two taxa of soil communities (microorganisms and s…

Landscape heterogeneity and soil biota are central to multi-taxa diversity for oil palm landscape restoration Open
Enhancing biodiversity in monoculture-dominated landscapes is a key sustainability challenge that requires considering the spatial organization of ecological communities (beta diversity). Here, we tested whether increasing landscape hetero…

Data from: Insect communities under skyglow: diffuse night-time illuminance induces spatio-temporal shifts in movement and predation Open
We conducted our experiment at the iDiv Ecotron experimental facility, which is an indoor mesocosm facility consisting of independent, experimental chambers called “EcoUnits”. The Ecotron is located in Bad Lauchstädt, Saxony-Anhalt, German…
