Mycorrhizal symbiosis and environmental conditions shape understory herb diversity in a large temperate forest region

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understorey herbaceous plants are a vital component of forest biodiversity in temperate forests. However, the mechanisms underlying their community assembly and species coexistence remain poorly understood.

Fertilization influences overyielding through dominance of species with high specific leaf area in young tree mixtures

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In the context of anthropogenic eutrophication of the biosphere, understanding the impact of nutrient addition on plant diversity–productivity relationships remains a major challenge.

Forest type and leaf habit mediate thermal and drought tolerance across a tropical elevational gradient

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding how local climate patterns select for thermal and drought tolerance traits is needed to predict differential responses to climate change across complex ecosystems.

Leaf photoprotection and water relations traits reveal novel axes of coordination and trade‐offs in leaf function

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants can express considerable plasticity in leaf functional traits, but that plasticity may be constrained by coordination and trade‐offs among multiple functions.

Spatiotemporal dynamics and machine learning‐based prediction of above‐ground biomass in the Indus Delta mangroves

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mangrove forests are important blue carbon ecosystems, yet long‐term above‐ground biomass (AGB) dynamics in arid deltaic systems remain poorly understood. Here, we integrated field‐derived AGB data with multisource remote sensing and machine learning models (random ...

Decreasing water availability reduces productivity in Swiss forests along an altitudinal gradient

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Forests are one of the most important terrestrial carbon sinks, but are increasingly under pressure due to drought, heat and the occurrence of extreme events. There are opposing longer term trends for European forest growth reported, and severe drought and disturbance ...
