Description: The eddy covariance technique was used to record continuous, non-invasive measurements of CO2, H2O and energy exchange between the ecosystem and the atmosphere. The measuring system consists of a semi-open path infrared gas analyser LI-7200 (LI-COR, USA), and a CSAT3 Sonic Anemometer (Campbell Scientific, USA) at a measuring height of 52 m over a canopy height of ~25 m. Data were recorded at a frequency of 20 Hz that was treated using the post-processing software EddyPro® (v.7.0.6; www.licor.com/eddypro) to compute fluxes for each 30-minute averaging period. To treat the raw fluxes, primary data processing steps were applied, including spike removal (Vickers, 1997 J Atmos Ocean Technol), coordinate rotation, block averaging detrending of CO2, H2O and sonic temperature, time lag compensation using covariance maximisation detection method, random uncertainty estimation (Finkelstein et al. 2001 Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres), computation of turbulent fluxes and mean fluxes, spectral corrections (Moncrieff et al. 1997 J Hydrol Amst) using correction of low-pass filtering effects, planar fit rotation (Wilczak et al. 2001 Boundary Layer Meteorol) and quality flagging policy (Göckede et al. 2006 Boundary Layer Meteorol). Eddy covariance meteorological data from above and below canopy is available at DOI 10.5281/zenodo.3888374. Cells with -9999 represent not enough data collected, which can be regarded as NA. This data has been collected over a heavily logged landscape between 2012 - 2018, please note 2016 was removed from this dataset. Before 2015, the landscape was ~10 years recovering from it's previous round of logging (four times logged). During 2015 the landscape was salvaged logged, removing 75% of tree stand basal area. The first data sheet, named "Raw_data" contains all raw fluxes that have been treated by EddyPro, which have not been filtered or quality controlled. The second sheet, named "Daily_fluxes" contains daily mean fluxes of net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE), ecosystem respirationn (Reco) and gross primary productivity and their associated standard errors. Net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE) was calculated by adding the estimated CO2 storage flux to the observed CO2 flux. Data was subjecto quality control including the removal of quality flags 4 and 5 (Göckede et al. 2006 Boundary Layer Meteorol) and the application of a mean u* threshold of >0.29 m s-1 to the dataset, as established using the package "REddyProc" (v.1.2; (Wultzer et al. 2019 Biogeosciences)) in based on the Moving Point Method (Reichstein et al. 2005, GCB). Data was subsequently gap filled and partitioned, as descripted within the variable methods of this sheet. This data was part of an analysis of carbon fluxes within three periods of data collection: in 2012 – 2013, which captured the four-times logged ecosystem ~10 years after its previous round of logging, in 2015 during a new round of active salvage logging, and in 2017 – 2018 when the ecosystem was recovery 2-3 years after the salvage logging. Days with large standard errors for Reco (> ± 5 µmol m−2 s−1) were deemed as bad quality and removed from the dataset and we used only days that had four or more observed half-hourly values of NEE. Of the final dataset , 29.5% of the half-hourly values are original observed fluxes, and 70.5% gap-filled. Of the 455 days remaining after all filtering processes were applied, 65 days were during the 10-years recovery phase (2012-2013), 100 during the active salvage logging (2015) and 290 during the 2-3 years recovery from active salvage logging phase (2017-2018).

1. Anthropogenic structures are mainly known to have negative impacts on wildlife populations but sometimes arethey can be beneficial. Power lines are a main driver of bird mortality through collision or electrocution, but electricity pylons are also commonly used for nest building by some species. Birds and nests cause power outages that need to be tackled by electricity companies. However, the use of pylons by threatened species provides an opportunity for conservation purposes. 2. In this study, we described an empirical modelling approach to predict the circumstances under which circumstances nesting birds use electricity pylons are used by nesting birds. We focused on white storks Ciconia ciconia, a species that has been increasingly using electricity pylons for nesting across Europe. 3. In a country-level census in Portugal, we found a total of 1348 white stork nests in 668 of the 8680 very high-tension power line pylons occurring in the distribution range of this colonial species, with spatial clustering in pylon occupation up to a distance of 30 km. The number of nests in each used pylon ranged from 1 to 21 (mean±SD= 2.2±2.06). 4. The main drivers of pylon use by nesting storks were distance to major feeding areas (rice fields, landfills and large wetlands), with more intensive use closer to these features, followed by land cover type surrounding each pylon. Pylon type and age, and stork population density in the region, had comparatively less importance. 5. Synthesis and applications. Our approach can be used to plan both for species conservation and minimising damage to infrastructures. For power lines, we outline: (i) planning power line routes to take account of the probability of pylon use; (ii) applying nesting deterrent devices (to reduce bird mortality and power outage risk) and providing nesting platforms (to promote bird use) on suitable pylons; and (iii) selecting adequate pylon types to promote or inhibit nesting.

Global change has dramatic impacts on grassland diversity. However, little is known about how fast species can adapt to diversity loss and how this affects their responses to global change. Here, we performed a common garden experiment testing whether plant responses to global change are influenced by their selection history and the conditioning history of soil at different plant diversity levels. Using seeds of four grass species and soil samples from a 14-year-old biodiversity experiment, we grew the offspring of the plants either in their own soil or in soil of a different community, and exposed them either to drought, increased nitrogen input, or a combination of both. Under nitrogen addition, offspring of plants selected at high diversity produced more biomass than those selected at low diversity, while drought neutralized differences in biomass production. Moreover, under the influence of global change drivers, soil history, and to a lesser extent plant history, had species-specific effects on trait expression. Our results show that plant diversity modulates plant-soil interactions and growth strategies of plants, which in turn affects plant eco-evolutionary pathways. How this change affects species' response to global change and whether this can cause a feedback loop should be investigated in more detail in future studies.

Project: Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) datasets - These data have been generated as part of the internationally-coordinated Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6; see also GMD Special Issue: http://www.geosci-model-dev.net/special_issue590.html). The simulation data provides a basis for climate research designed to answer fundamental science questions and serves as resource for authors of the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC-AR6). CMIP6 is a project coordinated by the Working Group on Coupled Modelling (WGCM) as part of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). Phase 6 builds on previous phases executed under the leadership of the Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (PCMDI) and relies on the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) and the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) along with numerous related activities for implementation. The original data is hosted and partially replicated on a federated collection of data nodes, and most of the data relied on by the IPCC is being archived for long-term preservation at the IPCC Data Distribution Centre (IPCC DDC) hosted by the German Climate Computing Center (DKRZ). The project includes simulations from about 120 global climate models and around 45 institutions and organizations worldwide. Summary: These data include the subset used by IPCC AR6 WGI authors of the datasets originally published in ESGF for 'CMIP6.ScenarioMIP.CNRM-CERFACS.CNRM-ESM2-1.ssp434' with the full Data Reference Syntax following the template 'mip_era.activity_id.institution_id.source_id.experiment_id.member_id.table_id.variable_id.grid_label.version'. The CNRM-ESM2-1 climate model, released in 2017, includes the following components: aerosol: TACTIC_v2, atmos: Arpege 6.3 (T127; Gaussian Reduced with 24572 grid points in total distributed over 128 latitude circles (with 256 grid points per latitude circle between 30degN and 30degS reducing to 20 grid points per latitude circle at 88.9degN and 88.9degS); 91 levels; top level 78.4 km), atmosChem: REPROBUS-C_v2, land: Surfex 8.0c, ocean: Nemo 3.6 (eORCA1, tripolar primarily 1deg; 362 x 294 longitude/latitude; 75 levels; top grid cell 0-1 m), ocnBgchem: Pisces 2.s, seaIce: Gelato 6.1. The model was run by the CNRM (Centre National de Recherches Meteorologiques, Toulouse 31057, France), CERFACS (Centre Europeen de Recherche et de Formation Avancee en Calcul Scientifique, Toulouse 31057, France) (CNRM-CERFACS) in native nominal resolutions: aerosol: 250 km, atmos: 250 km, atmosChem: 250 km, land: 250 km, ocean: 100 km, ocnBgchem: 100 km, seaIce: 100 km.

Meeting end-of-century global warming targets requires aggressive action on multiple fronts. Recent reports note the futility of addressing mitigation goals without fully engaging the agricultural sector, yet no available assessments combine both nature-based solutions (reforestation, grassland and wetland protection, and agricultural practice change) and cellulosic bioenergy for a single geographic region. Collectively, these solutions might offer a suite of climate, biodiversity, and other benefits greater than either alone. Nature-based solutions are largely constrained by the duration of carbon accrual in soils and forest biomass; each of these carbon pools will eventually saturate. Bioenergy solutions can last indefinitely but carry significant environmental risk if carelessly deployed. We detail a simplified scenario for the U.S. that illustrates the benefits of combining approaches. We assign a portion of non-forested former cropland to bioenergy sufficient to meet projected mid-century transportation needs, with the remainder assigned to nature-based solutions such as reforestation. Bottom-up mitigation potentials for the aggregate contributions of crop, grazing, forest, and bioenergy lands are assessed by including in a Monte Carlo model conservative ranges for cost-effective local mitigation capacities, together with ranges for (a) areal extents that avoid double counting and include realistic adoption rates and (b) the projected duration of different carbon sinks. The projected duration illustrates the net effect of eventually saturating soil carbon pools in the case of most strategies, and additionally saturating biomass carbon pools in the case of reforestation. Results show a conservative end-of-century mitigation capacity of 110 (57 – 178) Gt CO2e for the U.S., ~50% higher than existing estimates that prioritize nature-based or bioenergy solutions separately. Further research is needed to shrink uncertainties but there is sufficient confidence in the general magnitude and direction of a combined approach to plan for deployment now. The dataset is a synthesis of literature values selected based on criteria described in the parent paper’s narrative. The files can be opened in Microsoft Excel or any other spreadsheet that can load Excel-format files.

The survey is based on a questionnaire containing 56 closed questions that covers 111 home gardeners in Pune, India. Questions cover growing decisions and cultivation practice, including fertilization, pesticide use, irrigation and more, as well as the cultural and recreational use of the garden. Additionally socio-economic characteristics and motivations of gardeners are covered. The data was gathered by direct on-site interviews between January and May 2014. Respondents were recruited via snowball sampling starting with members of the local gardening club INORA (www.inora.in).

Although many studies have tested the direct effects of drought on alien plant invasion, less is known about whether drought affects alien plant invasion indirectly via interactions of plants with other groups of organisms such as soil mesofauna. To test for such indirect effects, we grew single plants of nine naturalized alien target species in pot-mesocosms with a community of five native grassland species under four combinations of two drought (well-watered vs drought) and two soil-mesofauna-inoculation (with vs without) treatments. We found that drought decreased the absolute and the relative biomass production of the alien plants, and thus reduced their competitive strength in the native community. Drought also decreased the abundance of soil mesofauna, particularly soil mites, but did not affect the abundance and richness of soil herbivores. Soil-fauna inoculation did not affect biomass of the alien plants but increased biomass of the native plant community, and thereby decreased the relative biomass production of the alien plants. This increased invasion resistance due to soil fauna, however, tended (p = 0.09) to be stronger for plants growing under well-watered conditions than under drought. Synthesis. Our multispecies experiment thus shows that soil fauna might help native communities to resist alien plant invasions, but that this effect might be weakened under drought. In other words, soil mesofauna may buffer the negative effects of drought on alien plant invasions. The file archives 'SoilFauna_Drought_PlantInvasion_Date_YJL.tar' include three dataset, one named 'SoilFauna_Drought_PlantInvasion.csv' (Biomass data), one named 'SoilFaunaData.csv' (Soil Fauna data), and one named 'SoilNitrogenData.csv' (soil nitrogen data). The file 'SoilFauna_Drought_PlantInvasion.Rmd' is the R script, and its output is 'SoilFauna_Drought_PlantInvasion.html'. All data were collected from a greenhouse expeirment at the Northeast Institute of Geography and Agricultural Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
