Collective choice fosters sustainable resource management in the presence of asymmetric opportunities
Extraction behaviour As the resource doubled in size between periods, all group members could extract a rate of 12.5% in each period while sustaining the resource (see Methods section for more details). In all three choice systems, the average percentage taken significantly exceeded this threshold, which led to an overall decrease of the resource over […] More

Increasing level of liquid pig manure reduces Eisenia andrei and Enchytraeus crypticus reproduction in subtropical soils
Liquid pig manure application caused reduction in the reproduction of both studied species, E. andrei and E. crypticus. However, enchytraeids were more sensitive than earthworms in both soils, which can be noted by the calculated EC50 values. Evaluations performed with organic matrices are complex, due to the composition of this material, since in general, they […] More

Root exudate composition of grass and forb species in natural grasslands
Chemical richness and composition of metabolites detected by GC-MS (polar metabolites) The untargeted metabolite profiling of the investigated samples revealed an annotation of 285 features (detected monoisotopic signals characterized by their specific retention time and mass to charge ration) (Supplementary Table 1). A total of 66 of these features were identified and classified as metabolites of […] More
