Although rhizosphere fungi are essential for plant survival and ecosystem functioning, little is known about the processes that structure plant-fungal......
Native plant communities are often invaded by multiple alien species. It is still unclear how increasing diversity of alien invasive species suppresse......
Global environmental changes are reducing the diversity and affecting the functioning of natural ecosystems as well as their ability to reliably provi......
Conspecific negative distance- and density-dependence is believed to be one of the most important mechanisms controlling forest community assembly and......
Plant-soil feedbacks (PSF) play an important role in determining plant community structure and dynamics. However, previous studies have provided mixed......
Transgenerational plasticity is the plastic response of offspring to ancestral environments. Theoretical studies and experimental evolution have demon......
Complex spatial patterns are common in coastal marine systems, but mechanisms underlying their formation are disputed. Most empirical work has focused......
Allelopathy plays an important role in the successful invasion of alien invasive plants. Phenolic compounds are one of the primary classes of secondar......
Understanding the responses of soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from terrestrial ecosystems to future CO2 enrichment and warming is critical for the......
Heterogeneity is an intrinsic characteristic of soils, which regulates plant diversity and ecosystem functioning. However, whether soil heterogeneity ......

Predation is a well-studied driver of ecological selection on prey traits, which frequently drives divergence in anti-predator performance across envi......

Subsequent to escape from intense herbivory in the native range, invasive plants are expected to reduce allocation to costly anti-herbivory defences a......
Nutrient enrichment can reduce ecosystem stability, typically measured as temporal stability of a single function, e.g. plant productivity. Moreover, ......
Species abundance distributions (SADs) characterise the distribution of individuals among species. SADs have rarely been explored on islands and the e......
We studied the relationship between temperature and the coexistence of great titParus majorand blue titCyanistes caeruleus, breeding in 75 study plots......
