Ecological Indicators, 2021 The adjustment of aboveground biomass allocation is an important part of plant growth adaptation strategies. Due to global climate change, rising temperatures are causing changes in global air circulation patterns.

Plant Functional Traits Improve Diversity-Based Predictions of Temporal Stability of Grassland Productivity [PDF]
, 2013 The temporal stability of plant production is greater in communities with high than low species richness, but stability also may depend on species abundances and growth-related traits. Annual precipitation varied by greater than a factor of three over 11

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Using a 4‐year drought experiment in the hot deserts of the US, we found that herbaceous plant communities were more sensitive to seasonal precipitation than to the cumulative effects of drought. Abstract The hot deserts of the southwestern United States are experiencing increased frequency, severity, and duration of drought due to anthropogenic ...

Productivity and carbon allocation in monospecific and mixed-species plantations of Eucalyptus grandis and Acacia mangium in Brazil [PDF]
, 2010 Nitrogen fertilizer inputs are required in fast growing eucalypt plantations to meet tree requirements, and to compensate for the large nitrogen outputs associated with wood exportation at the end of the short rotations. Due to the economic and potential

Impacts of Climate Change Drivers on C4 Grassland Productivity: Scaling Driver Effects Through the Plant Community [PDF]
, 2014 Climate change drivers affect plant community productivity via three pathways: (i) direct effects of drivers on plants; (ii) the response of species abundances to drivers (community response); and (iii) the feedback effect of community change on ...

Effects of resource additions on species richness and ANPP in an alpine meadow community [PDF]
Journal of Plant Ecology, 2009 Aims Theories based on resourceadditions indicate that plant species richness is mainly determined by the number of limiting resources. However, the individual effects of various limiting resources on species richness and aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) are less well understood.

Plant functional trait diversity regulates the nonlinear response of productivity to regional climate change in Tibetan alpine grasslands [PDF]
, 2016 The biodiversity-productivity relationship is still under debate for alpine grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau. We know little about direct and indirect effects of biotic and abiotic drivers on this relationship, especially in regard to plant functional ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 969-982, April 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition generally reduces the temporal stability of plant communities (community stability). The positive community stability–area relationship (CSAR) has been reported, but the effects of N deposition on CSAR are unexplored, particularly ...
