Although biodiversity is widely recognised for its role in maintaining ecosystem functioning under environmental change, its importance has received relatively little attention in the context of emerging environmental stressors such as nanoparticles. By assembling phytoplankton communities across a gradient of species richness and exposing them to varying concentrations of copper oxide nanoparticles, we experimentally explored...

In 2020, the Australian and New Zealand flux research and monitoring network, OzFlux, celebrated its 20 th anniversary by reflecting on the lessons learned through two decades of ecosystem studies on global change biology. OzFlux is a network not only for ecosystem researchers, but also for those ‘next users’ of the knowledge, information and data that such networks provide. Here, we focus on eight lessons across topics of cli...
