Urbanization has dramatically destabilized crucial ecosystem functions through extensive land‐use changes, habitat fragmentation, and modified species compositions. However, the mechanisms through which urbanization affects river ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF)—the simultaneous performance of multiple ecosystem functions—remain largely unknown. This study evaluated the impact of urbanization on EMF using macroinvertebrate c...

Inorganic carbon is an important component of soil carbon stocks, exerting a profound influence on climate change and ecosystem functioning. Drylands account for approximately 80% of the global soil inorganic carbon (SIC) pool within the top 200 cm. Despite its paramount importance, the components of SIC and their contributions to CO 2 fluxes have been largely overlooked, resulting in notable gaps in understanding its distribu...
