Department of Biological Sciences, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA
Oecologia 142:465-73. 2005..However, with the exception of variation in N, litter quality had little influence on decomposition over the short term... - Grassland responses to global environmental changes suppressed by elevated CO2M Rebecca Shaw

Science 298:1987-90. 2002..These findings indicate the importance of a multifactor experimental approach to understanding ecosystem responses to global change... - Global analysis of nitrogen and phosphorus limitation of primary producers in freshwater, marine and terrestrial ecosystemsJames J Elser
School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ 85287, USA
Ecol Lett 10:1135-42. 2007..Thus, contrary to some prevailing paradigms, freshwater, marine and terrestrial ecosystems are surprisingly similar in terms of N and P limitation... - Environmental and plant community determinants of species loss following nitrogen enrichmentChris M Clark
Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior, University of Minnesota, St Paul, MN 55108, USA
Ecol Lett 10:596-607. 2007..Our results indicate sensitivity to N addition is co-determined by environmental conditions and production responsiveness, which overwhelm the effects of initial community structure and composition... - Herbivore control of annual grassland composition in current and future environmentsHalton A Peters
Ecol Lett 9:86-94. 2006..For four of the five global change scenarios, gastropod impacts explained > 50% of the quantitative changes, indicating that herbivore preferences can be a major driver of plant community responses to global changes... - Functional- and abundance-based mechanisms explain diversity loss due to N fertilizationKatharine N Suding

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 101:12422-7. 2004..Although interscenario differences in climate impacts and costs of adaptation emerge mainly in the second half of the century, they are strongly dependent on emissions from preceding decades... - Consumer versus resource control of producer diversity depends on ecosystem type and producer community structureHelmut Hillebrand
Institute for Botany, University of Cologne, Gyrhofstrasse 15, D 50931 Cologne, Germany
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104:10904-9. 2007..Our study indicates that system productivity and producer evenness determine the direction and magnitude of top-down and bottom-up control of diversity and may reconcile divergent empirical results within and among ecosystems...
