The litter C/N ratio governs the dual role of ectomycorrhizal fungi in decomposition and plant nutrition absorption

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) modulate litter decomposition and facilitate nutrient acquisition through the soil–mycorrhiza–plant pathway. Although litter chemistry has been considered an important factor affecting litter decomposition, how it regulates EcMF‐induced ...

Trade‐offs between surviving and thriving: A careful balance of physiological limitations and reproductive effort under thermal stress

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Balancing survival and reproduction presents a fundamental evolutionary challenge, especially in extreme and unpredictable environments. Thermoregulatory behaviour, in particular, imposes a costly trade‐off, as time spent maintaining optimal body temperature precludes ...

Wild large herbivores promote plant diversity and functional redundancy by reducing dominance

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Large herbivores can strongly shape plant communities, yet studies report contrasting effects on species richness, and how they affect plant functional diversity remains largely unknown.

Endogenous colony dormancy shapes seasonal cold tolerance in temperate ants

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract As eusocial superorganisms, cold‐adapted ants must survive multiple consecutive winters and are shaped by selective pressures acting at both individual and colony‐level.

Nitrogen addition alters adaptive strategies of a dominant plant species in an alpine meadow via shifts in traits and trait coordination

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nitrogen (N) deposition significantly impacts plant functional traits in alpine meadows, yet the adaptive strategies of dominant species remain unclear. Understanding these strategies is crucial for predicting alpine grassland vegetation changes and ecosystem ...

Leaf C:P ratio as a universal indicator of photosynthesis in subtropical woody species: Stoichiometric thresholds and metabolic trade‐offs

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The stoichiometric ratios of carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) serve as important indicators for assessing nutrient balance in forest ecosystems, but their relationships with photosynthetic dynamics require deeper characterization.
