A commentary article highlighting findings on the drastic effect of introduced goldfish in historically fishless permanent ponds. Furthermore, the findings are being put into context of the problematic situation with certain introduced alien species and concluding remarks point to a potential management of the situation in ponds.

Climate projections for continental Europe indicate drier summers, increased annual precipitation, and less snowy winters, which are expected to cause shifts in species' distributions. Yet, most regions/countries currently lack comprehensive climate‐driven biodiversity projections across taxonomic groups, challenging effective conservation efforts. To address this gap, our study evaluated the potential

Plant roots represent about a quarter of global plant biomass and constitute a primary source of soil organic carbon (C). Yet, considerable uncertainty persists regarding root litter decomposition and their responses to global change factors (GCFs). Much of this uncertainty stems from a limited understanding of the multifactorial effects of GCFs and it remains unclear how these effects are mediated

The meta-analysis by Mason et al. (2023) provides many important insights into carbon storage and dynamics in saltmarsh ecosystems. However, we consider that their estimate of the net global mean climate benefit of saltmarsh restoration of 64.70 t CO2e ha−1 year−1 is too high, by at least an order of magnitude. Mason et al. determined the above value by adding atmospherically measured net CO2 uptake
