Description
Qingshui Yu and a large team asked whether plants and soil life respond to global change in step in a 2024 synthesis. Knowing whether above and below ground life move together matters for ecosystem function and conservation. The team gathered tens of thousands of observations from more than a thousand publications across the world's land ecosystems. Responses of plants and soil organisms were compared directly in paired plots.
Global change generally raised plant biomass but cut plant diversity. Soil organisms answered more variably and less predictably. In paired data, plant and soil responses were decoupled, differing across soil groups and biomes. The authors argue that forecasting the effects of environmental change needs research that treats the above and below ground system as one connected whole.
