Grazing is one of the most important management practices for grasslands. To date, most studies on how grazing affects plant diseases have focused on ......
Biodiversity loss, exotic plant invasion and climatic change are three important global changes that can affect litter decomposition. These effects ma......
Phenotypic plasticity index (PI), the slope of reaction norm (K) and relative distances plasticity index (RDPI), the most commonly used estimators, ha......

Functional trait-based approaches have provided advances in the understanding of community assembly rules. Broad generalisations remain, however, limi......
How do offspring size and number vary along elevational gradients? This is a striking but rarely addressed question in life-history evolution. Here we......

The tradeoffs between carbon assimilation and hydraulic efficiencies and drought-tolerance traits on different scales are considered a central tenet i......
Belowground bud banks play a crucial role in plant population regeneration, community dynamics, and functional responses of ecosystems to environmenta......
Fine roots play a key role in carbon, nutrient, and water biogeochemical cycles in forest ecosystems. However, inter-annual dynamics of fine root prod......
Tree mycorrhizal type plays an important role in promoting plant species diversity and coexistence, via its mediating role in conspecific negative den......
There is growing interest in understanding the role that plant-soil feedbacks (PSFs) may play in invasion resistance. However, recent studies have sho......
While the effects of incubation environment on embryonic development and offspring traits have been extensively studied in oviparous vertebrates, stud......
Plant diversity affects multi-trophic communities, but in young regrowth forests, where forest insects are in the process of re-establishment, other b......
Understanding the multiple biotic and abiotic controls of aboveground biomass (AGB) is important for projecting the consequences of global change and ......
Plant functional traits and strategies hold the promise to explain species distribution, but few studies have linked multiple traits to multiple niche......
