An increase in the supply of skilled labor has been common across world. However, despite rise force, not all countries have achieved high income levels, even when their structural transformation follows same path (from agriculture to industry and, then, from industry to services). Skilled workers might end up either or low TFP sectors, according two opposite theories change (skill-biased ...

Soil microbial communities are influenced by climate change drivers such as warming and altered precipitation. These changes create abiotic stresses, including desiccation and nutrient limitation, which act on microbes. However, our understanding of the responses of microbial communities to co-occurring climate change drivers is limited. We surveyed soil bacterial and fungal diversity and compo...

BACKGROUND Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) provide numerous services to their plant symbionts. Understanding climate change effects on AMF, and the resulting plant responses, is crucial for predicting ecosystem responses at regional and global scales. We investigated how the effects of climate change on AMF-plant symbioses are mediated by soil water availability, soil nutrient availability, ...
