- New paper in Oikos! 🎉 Ecosystems are connected by resource flows, and ecosystem size can mediate their effects. But how does size mediate the effects of resource flows between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems—one of nature's most ubiquitous linkages?
- Using a protist microcosm experiment, we found that ecosystem size can completely reverse the effect of resource flows on meta-ecosystem biomass. When autotrophic patches dominated, flows increased total biomass. When heterotrophic patches dominated, flows decreased it.
- 1/3 Connectivity via resource flows 🍁 interacts with ecosystem size 📏 and disturbance 🔥 to affect meta-ecosystem function 🌲🌲🌲🌲 Out now as a preprint! 📑 www.authorea.com/doi/full/10....

- Interested in the linkage between ecosystems of different trophic types, such as aquatic-terrestrial linkages or benthic-pelagic linkages? 🌊 🐟 🐳 🌲 🌳 🎋 www.authorea.com/doi/full/10....
- 1/3 We know that autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems are connected through resource flows, which can have positive or negative effects on their function. However, what we know about this topic doesn't consider the fact that ecosystems have different sizes.
