Plant functional trait dissimilarity drives plant mixture effects on fine root biomass and trait variations. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Fine roots are critical for soil resource uptake, yet how declining plant diversity alters fine root biomass (RB) and traits remains unclear. We tested how plant functional trait dissimilarity in shade tolerance, drought tolerance, growth rate, and nitrogen‐fixation ability drives variation in root attributes.

Defoliation and fertilisation differentially moderate root trait effects on soil abiotic and biotic properties

Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 12, Page 2733-2749, December 2023., 2023
Our results indicate that defoliation and fertilisation, two common grassland perturbations, have contrasting impacts on root traits of grassland plant species, with direct and indirect short‐term consequences for a wide range of soil abiotic and biotic properties that underpin ecosystem functioning.

Escaping social–ecological traps through ecological restoration and socioeconomic development in China's Loess Plateau

People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 1364-1379, August 2023., 2023
Abstract The social–ecological trap is an emerging concept that describes situations in which self‐reinforcing social and ecological feedbacks maintain or push a social–ecological system towards an undesirable state and threaten the sustainability of human societies.

Effects of interactions between anthropogenic stressors and recurring perturbations on ecosystem resilience and collapse

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Insights into declines in ecosystem resilience and their causes and effects can inform preemptive action to avoid ecosystem collapse and loss of biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human well‐being. Empirical studies of ecosystem collapse are rare and hampered by ecosystem complexity, nonlinear and lagged responses, and interactions across ...
