Coastal vegetated habitats such as seagrasses are known to play a critical role in carbon cycling and the potential to mitigate climate change, as blu......
While biodiversity is expected to enhance multiple ecosystem functions (EFs), the different roles of multiple biodiversity dimensions remain difficult......
The climatic variability hypothesis predicts the evolution of species with wide thermal tolerance ranges in environments with variable temperatures, a......
The relative roles of plants competing for resources versus top-down control of vegetation by herbivores, in turn impacted by predators, during early ......
Current theory (e.g., consumer-controlled theory) predicts that nutrient enrichment typically amplifies herbivory and thereby suppresses the growth an......
Ecological studies on islands have provided fundamental insights into the mechanisms underlying biodiversity of larger organisms, but we know little a......
Specific leaf area (SLA; one-sided leaf area per unit of dry mass) is a key trait indicating plant growth strategy and its responses to changing envir......
