Stability and Diversity of Ecosystems
TL;DR: This work states that because anthropogenic changes often affect stability and diversity simultaneously, diversity-stability relationships cannot be understood outside the context of the environmental drivers affecting both.

Diversity of life
TL;DR: It is clear that the above can lead to confusion when scientists of different countries are trying to communicate with each other, so an internationally recognized system of naming organisms is created.
Ecosystem carbon loss with woody plant invasion of grasslands.
Robert B. Jackson,Jay L. Banner,Esteban G. Jobbágy,William T. Pockman,William T. Pockman,Diana H. Wall +5 more
TL;DR: A clear negative relationship between precipitation and changes in soil organic carbon and nitrogen content when grasslands were invaded by woody vegetation is found, with drier sites gaining, and wetter sites losing, soilorganic carbon.

TL;DR: Urgent needs are identified to create more conservation units in different regions, including different grassland types throughout southern Brazil, to develop proper management strategies where grasslands are subject to shrub encroachment and forest expansion and to raise public awareness of the value and vulnerability of this vegetation type.

Atmospheric deposition to a desert ecosystem and its implications for management

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured particle deposition in macrophytic and microphytic patches to determine whether atmospheric deposition was responsible for soil mound formation, and showed that fine particles, consisting mostly of mineral dust, are deposited at similar rates in macro-phytic compared to micro-phytic patches, but coarse particles have higher concentrations of carbon and nitrogen than the fine particles.
