Droughts can strongly affect grassland productivity and biodiversity, but responses differ
widely. Nutrient availability may be a critical factor explaining this variation, but is often ignored …

Fertilisation experiments have demonstrated that nutrient availability is a key determinant of
biomass production and carbon sequestration in grasslands. However, the influence of …

Many scientific disciplines are currently experiencing a 'reproducibility crisis' because numerous
scientific findings cannot be repeated consistently. A novel but controversial hypothesis …

In Canada newspapers remain a significant source of information available to the public.
However, little research has been done on Canadian news media representations of …

Simple Summary Urbanization modifies the composition of all biological communities,
including insect pollinator communities, but what is filtered out? To answer this question, we …

Urban habitat characteristics create environmental filtering of pollinator communities. They
also impact pollinating insect phenology through the presence of an urban heat island and …

Background and Aims Experiments have shown that biotrophic fungi divert assimilates for
their growth. However, no attempt has been made either to account for this additional sink or …

In the context of current climate change, municipalities tend to plant more trees in order to
benefit from services they provide in urban areas, such as reducing heat islands. However, in …

Ecosystem carbon flux partitioning is strongly influenced by poorly constrained soil CO 2
efflux (F soil ). Simple model applications (Arrhenius and Q 10 ) do not account for observed …

Competitive interactions between plants can affect patterns of allocation to reproductive
structures through modulation of resource availability. As floral traits involved in plant …
