Traits of dominant plant species drive normalized difference vegetation index in grasslands globally. Global Ecology and Biogeography, 32(5), 695-706. doi:10.1111/geb.13644

AbstractAimTheoretical, experimental and observational studies have shown that biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF) relationships are influenced by functional community structure through two mutually non‐exclusive mechanisms: (1) the dominance effect (which relates to the traits of the dominant …

Niu Y., Schuchardt M., von Heßberg A., Jentsch A. (2023). Stable plant community biomass production despite species richness collapse under simulated extreme climate in the European Alps. Science of The Total Environment, 864(), 161166. doi:10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.161166

Direct observation of biodiversity loss in response to abrupt climate change can resolve fundamental questions about temporal community dynamics and clarify the controversial debate of biodiversity loss impacts on ecosystem functioning. We tracked local plant species loss and the corresponding chang…

Schreiber M., Bazaios E., Ströbel B., Wolf B., Ostler U., Gasche R., Schlingmann M., Kiese R., Dannenmann M. (2023.0). Impacts of slurry acidification and injection on fertilizer nitrogen fates in grassland. Nutrient Cycling in Agroecosystems, 125(2), 171-186. doi:10.1007/s10705-022-10239-9

AbstractLow nitrogen (N) use efficiency of broadcast slurry application leads to nutrient losses, air and water pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and—in particular in a warming climate—to soil N mining. Here we test the alternative slurry acidification and injection techniques for their mitigation…

The agricultural management of grasslands not only is strongly linked to fodder production but also provides other valuable ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, nutrient regulation, and recreation. Capturing the values that society places on such ecosystem services is a step to provide m…

Grasslands cover one-third of the agricultural area in Germany and play an important economic role by providing fodder for livestock. In addition, they fulfill important ecosystem services, such as carbon storage, water purification, and the provision of habitats. These ecosystem services usually de…

Grazing and ecosystem service delivery in global drylands. Science, 378(6622), 915-920. doi:10.1126/science.abq4062

Grazing represents the most extensive use of land worldwide. Yet its impacts on ecosystem services remain uncertain because pervasive interactions between grazing pressure, climate, soil properties, and biodiversity may occur but have never been addressed simultaneously. Using a standardized survey …

Linking changes in species composition and biomass in a globally distributed grassland experiment. Ecology Letters, 25(12), 2699-2712. doi:10.1111/ele.14126

AbstractGlobal change drivers, such as anthropogenic nutrient inputs, are increasing globally. Nutrient deposition simultaneously alters plant biodiversity, species composition and ecosystem processes like aboveground biomass production. These changes are underpinned by species extinction, colonisat…
