Species turnover and climates co‐dominate the carbon–water relationship in grasslands along an elevational gradient

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Water use efficiency (WUE) serves as a core function reflecting vegetation–climate interactions and terrestrial carbon–water cycle. However, direct measurements of WUE are largely constrained to indoor experiments, individual plant and instantaneous physiological ...

Coarse woody debris decomposition along an elevation gradient alleviates soil microbial P limitation but intensifies C limitation at Wuyishan National Park

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil microorganisms play a vital role in biogeochemical cycles by transforming plant residues into soil organic matter through catabolic processes, thereby significantly influencing carbon (C) storage.

Plant functional diversity regulates the composition and diversity of soil microbial communities in temperate grasslands of northern China

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant communities can influence the structure of soil microbial communities through the combined effects of the quality and quantity of plant‐derived resources. However, the specific mechanisms underlying these effects remain poorly understood. We sampled soil bacterial

Differential impacts of asymmetric winter warming and symmetric year‐round warming on leaf nutrients and resorption in an alpine meadow

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nutrient resorption before leaf senescence is an important nutrient conservation mechanism for plants that can maximize plant fitness and thus ecosystem functions and stability, especially when the ecosystems are subjected to warming.

Phenological turnover matters when making trait‐based predictions of plant–pollinator interactions

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding the processes determining species' interactions is key to predicting and safeguarding ecological networks under rapid environmental change. One approach to estimating interactions is to use morphologies of taxa interacting across trophic levels to reveal ...
