Many models predict soil erosion and sediment transport into lakes and rivers, and the connection between soil erosion triggering eutrophication is considered textbook knowledge. However, limited data-based scientific evidence exists on the consequences of soil erosion and sediment fluxes on eutrophication. This study examines the impact of soil erosion on eutrophication, considering other covariates such as slope, elevation, phosphorus, nitrogen, flow accumulation and temperature, by analyzing zones of varying sizes around lakes in six different countries of Europe covering an area of 1596 km²: Austria (81 lakes), France (310), Germany (266), Hungary (73), Poland (465), and the United Kingdom (316). We utilized multispectral Sentinel-2 satellite remote sensing data at 20-m spatial resolution for 2021 and 2022 to estimate the Floating Algae Index (FAI) of lakes. FAI allowed us to quantify bloom occurrence (BO)—the frequency of detected algal blooms—and maximum bloom extent (MBE)—the total area affected by blooms during the study period. The MBEs were then correlated with the aforementioned covariates within zones of 100 m, 200 m, 500 m, and 1 km distance from the lakes using machine learning algorithms to identify the most significant and thus driving factors within these areas. Our results prove quantitatively that soil erosion is indeed a key driver of eutrophication for all the selected European regions except Austria. Water temperature, nutrient input, and slope are additional important drivers of lake eutrophication.</p>","PeriodicalId":175,"journal":{"name":"Global Change Biology","volume":"31 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gcb.70494","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145035651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the transition from conventional to organic agriculture has been proposed as a potential solution to alleviate these pressures, there is limited evidence of its effectiveness in enhancing belowground biodiversity across different biogeographical regions, climates, and land degradation levels. In this study, we holistically assessed the status of soil biodiversity, from microorganisms to meso- and macrofauna, in agroecosystems distributed across four continents. We identified the primary environmental community composition drivers and assessed the effects of the transition from conventional to organic management (no chemical inputs) on soil ecology. Our findings highlight the mean temperature and precipitation of the warmest and coldest quarters of the year, aridity, pH, and soil texture as the primary drivers of the different soil biodiversity components. Overall, organic farming has a significant but small impact on soil biodiversity compared to the other community drivers. On top of that, the results demonstrate the importance of a regional-specific context for a future generalized transition towards organic soil management. Specifically, under the most arid conditions in our study, organic management showed potential to buffer biodiversity loss in highly degraded soils, with a significant increase in diversity for prokaryotes and protists compared to conventionally managed soils. Therefore, the combination of a global and, simultaneously, regional-specific approach supports the hypothesis that a shift towards organic agriculture would maximize its beneficial impact on belowground diversity in highly degraded soils under arid conditions over the coming years, being a crucial tool to increase resilience and adaptation to global change for agriculture.</p>","PeriodicalId":175,"journal":{"name":"Global Change Biology","volume":"31 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gcb.70486","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145043761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is still large uncertainty on the long-term impacts of drought on ecosystem carbon (C) cycling, and how this determines the effect of subsequent droughts. Here, we aimed to quantify how drought legacy affects the response of a heathland ecosystem to a subsequent drought for two life stages of <i>Calluna vulgaris</i> resulting from different mowing regimes. We imposed a subsequent drought in a long-term (20 years) drought field experiment combined with different mowing years. We hypothesised that drought legacy would reduce the impact of a subsequent drought on ecosystem respiration (ER) through shifts in microbial community composition, and we expected a stronger effect of drought legacy on building stage <i>Calluna</i> (mowed in 2013) than on seedlings (mowed in 2020), with knock-on effects for net ecosystem exchange (NEE) and ER. We found that drought legacy persistently shifted soil bacterial and fungal communities, but the subsequent drought had minimal effect. Drought legacy also shifted plant community composition, with the strongest effect of subsequent drought on the building stage of <i>Calluna</i>. Subsequent drought reduced all CO₂ fluxes independent of drought legacy, and this effect was most pronounced in the building stage of <i>Calluna</i>. The observed strong and persistent shifts in soil microbial communities as a result of 20 years of summer drought did not explain ecosystem CO₂ fluxes, which were determined by changes in plant communities. Thus, our findings show a mismatch between aboveground and belowground responses to drought, and highlight that older heathlands are more vulnerable to drought, reducing their CO₂ uptake capacity in the crucial phase of ecosystem C stock accumulation.

Our results show that a cascade of moisture anomalies, from the atmosphere to vegetation health, precedes these fires by around 6–27 months. This is followed by a drying cascade 6 months before ignition that results in anomalously high and dry fuel loads conducive to fires. These patterns are confirmed when analyzing recent (2012–2025) extreme fire events in Mediterranean and Desert Californian biomes. We find hydroclimatic rebound as a key mechanism driving extreme wildfire risk, where moisture accumulation fuels vegetation growth that later dries into highly flammable fuel. In contrast, extreme fires in the fuel-rich Forested Mountain regions are less influenced by the moistening cascade and more impacted by prolonged drought conditions, which typically persist up to 11 months prior to fire occurrence.

The underlying mechanisms remain uncertain, especially under unprecedented multiyear droughts. We used a network of planted tree diversity experiments to investigate how neighborhood tree diversity and species' functional traits influence individual tree responses to drought. We analyzed tree cores (948 trees across 16 species) from nine young experiments across Europe featuring tree species richness gradients (1–6 species), which experienced recent severe droughts. Radial growth response to drought was quantified as tree-ring biomass increment using X-ray computed tomography. We applied hydraulic trait-based growth models to analyze single-year drought responses across all sites and site-specific responses during consecutive drought years. Growth responses to a single-year drought were partially explained by the focal species' hydraulic safety margin (representing species' drought tolerance) and drought intensity, but were independent of neighborhood species richness. The effects of neighborhood functional diversity on growth responses shifted from positive to negative with increasing drought duration during a single growing season. Tree diversity effects on growth responses strengthened during consecutive drought years and were site-specific with contrasting directions (both positive and negative). This indicates opposing diversity effects pathways under consecutive drought events, possibly resulting from competitive release or greater water consumption in diverse mixtures. We conclude that tree diversity effects on growth under single-year droughts may differ considerably from responses to consecutive drought years. Our study highlights the need to consider trait-based approaches (specifically, hydraulic traits) and neighborhood scale processes to understand the multifaceted responses of tree mixtures under prolonged drought stress.

Restoration is particularly crucial to coastal wetlands (including tidal marshes, mangrove forests, and tidal flats), which are among the most important ecosystems on Earth but have been severely depleted and degraded. In this review, we explore the question of how to make restoration more effective for coastal wetlands in light of the often-overlooked dynamic nature of these transitional ecosystems between land and ocean. Currently, restoration efforts have focused on removing anthropogenic threats, habitat reconstruction, and planting foundation species, often with mixed success and high costs. The challenges largely lie in the abiotic and biotic dynamics of these transitional ecosystems, including (i) fluctuating environmental stresses, (ii) variable trophic and nontrophic species interactions, (iii) changing connectivity with adjacent land, sea, and freshwater systems, and (iv) accelerating climate change, including sea level rise, droughts, and storms. Future restoration should explicitly account for these abiotic and biotic dynamics from threat removal to habitat reconstruction, assisted succession, and post-restoration management. We highlight novel yet practical measures to enhance success. In the coming decades, bending the curve of coastal wetland loss and degradation globally also requires better understanding of the abiotic and biotic dynamics of these transitional ecosystems prone to change, using this understanding to develop innovative restoration approaches, and applying new approaches to upscale restoration in synergy with socioeconomic development.
