AbstractRising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen (N) deposition affect plant communities in numerous ways1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11. Nitrogen deposition causes local biodiversity loss globally12,13,14, but whether, and if so how, rising CO2 concentrations amplify or dampen those losses remains unclear and is almost entirely unstudied.

1 INTRODUCTION The impact of global change on plants can vary depending on their inherent physiological and functional differences and may be further influenced by interspecific interactions (Reich et al., 2004).

AbstractNutrient enrichment impacts grassland plant diversity such as species richness, functional trait composition and diversity, but whether and how these changes affect ecosystem stability in the face of increasing climate extremes remains largely unknown. We quantify the direct and diversity-mediated effects of nutrient addition (by nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) on the stability of aboveground biomass production in 10 long-term grassland experimental sites.

Introduction Human activities are leading to declines in biodiversity that are unprecedented in human history (Díaz et al. 2019). The effects of biodiversity on ecological processes can be substantial, and are expected to grow stronger at large spatial and temporal scales (Cardinale et al. 2011, Isbell et al. 2017, O'Connor et al. 2017, Loreau et al. 2022).

AbstractNatural ecosystems store large amounts of carbon globally, as organisms absorb carbon from the atmosphere to build large, long-lasting, or slow-decaying structures such as tree bark or root systems. An ecosystem’s carbon sequestration potential is tightly linked to its biological diversity. Yet when considering future projections, many carbon sequestration models fail to account for the role biodiversity plays in carbon storage.

English for science has unique characteristics that set it apart from other genres of English writing [1]. As such, scientific writing can prove challenging, especially for non-native English speakers [2].

INTRODUCTION Experimental studies that have varied species richness (S) often find positive relationships between richness and ecosystem processes such as net primary productivity (NPP). These results raise concern that human caused reductions in biodiversity will reduce ecosystem's capacity to produce energy for higher trophic levels (e.g. forage for grazing mammals; Weisser et al., 2017).

Spatial selection effects Studies of BEF effects in heterogeneous landscapes have revealed landscape-scale patterns that underpin system-level functioning. For example, the productivity of diverse plant communities might, at the local scale, be dominated by a few species (a selection effect [SE], Box 1). These SE might be driven by different species in different communities found in a larger landscape, reflecting different environmental conditions.
