    • Asynchrony among local communities stabilises ecosystem function of metacommunities 

      Wilcox, Kevin R.; Tredennick, Andrew T.; Koerner, Sally E.; Grman, Emily; Hallett, Lauren M.; ... more authors ( Blackwell Publishing Ltd , 2017 , Other)
      Temporal stability of ecosystem functioning increases the predictability and reliability of ecosystem services, and understanding the drivers of stability across spatial scales is important for land management and policy ...

    • Short-term herbivory has long-term consequences in warmed and ambient high Arctic tundra 

      Little, Chelsea J; Cutting, Helen; Alatalo, Juha; Cooper, Elisabeth J ( Institute of Physics Publishing , 2017 , Article)
      Climate change is occurring across the world, with effects varying by ecosystem and region but already occurring quickly in high-latitude and high-altitude regions. Biotic interactions are important in determining ecosystem ...

    • The potential impact of climate change on linkages between above and below ground communities in low diversity ecosystems in extreme environments 

      Alatalo, Juha Mikael ( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference Paper)
      There is growing evidence that ecosystem function depend on biodiversity. For example, experimental studies with different number of plant species show that microbial biomass, fungal abundance and N mineralisation rates ...
