Self‐pruning in tree crowns is influenced by functional strategies and neighbourhood interactions

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract As canopy closure imposes light limitation in forests, the dieback of trees' lower branches, known as self‐pruning, defines their live crown base and shapes the structure and function of entire stands.

Community‐level trait variation of epiphytic bryophytes supports trade‐off aligned with leaf‐economic spectrum in vertically stratified tropical montane cloud forest canopies

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Tropical montane cloud forests are among the most biodiverse ecosystems on earth and are vulnerable to climate change due to reliance on atmospheric moisture. Epiphytic bryophytes (i.e.

Bacterial and fungal growth on fungal necromass and its diverse components: Shared profiles and divergent constraints revealed by high‐throughput phenotyping

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract While fungal necromass is increasingly recognized as a major source of persistent carbon (C) in soils, the relative functional roles of bacteria and fungi in decomposing necromass are not fully resolved, and the processes that select for necromass decomposer communities

Drought sensitivity is climate‐adapted and consistently influenced by wood density and maximum height in eucalypts

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Rising drought frequency and intensity are placing many tree species at increasing risk of mortality. Identifying which trees are most sensitive to drought is critical for biodiversity conservation and forest carbon storage; however, this is challenging in natural and ...
