Frequent collaboration is a notable feature of their research, with close coauthors including Elizabeth T. Borer, Anita C. Risch, Andrew S. MacDougall, Carly J. Stevens, and Yann Hautier.

Many of their publications appear in well-recognized scientific journals, notably:

  • Ecology Letters
  • Nature Communications
  • Ecology
  • Nature Ecology & Evolution
  • Global Change Biology

Among the recent papers published by Eric W. Seabloom are:

  • "Nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization consistently favor pathogenic over mutualistic fungi in grassland soils," 2021, Nature Communications
  • "Expert perspectives on global biodiversity loss and its drivers and impacts on people," 2022, Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment
  • "Effects of nitrogen and phosphorus addition on microbial community composition and element cycling in a grassland soil," 2020, Soil Biology and Biochemistry
  • "Drivers of seedling establishment success in dryland restoration efforts," 2021, Nature Ecology & Evolution
  • "General destabilizing effects of eutrophication on grassland productivity at multiple spatial scales," 2020, Nature Communications

In recognition of their contributions to the field, Eric W. Seabloom was named a Fellow of the Ecological Society of America in 2018.
