Vineyards are one of the most important perennial crops in areas with a Mediterranean climate such as Andalusia, where they cover a significant portion of land, represent an invaluable cultural heritage, and are strategic for the economy. The intensification of viticulture and the excessive use of plowing, fertilizers, and pesticides have resulted in vineyards that…
Ecosystem coupling in global grasslands: Implications for their functioning and detection of global change impacts (ECO-4-FUN)
Global environmental change may decouple ecological interactions and biogeochemical cycles well before the most evident changes, such as biodiversity loss, can even be detected. This decoupling may result in greater chances of ecosystem degradation and may set ecosystems for a sudden functional and structural change, with consequences for the reliable supply of ecosystem services on…
