Time to burn: landscape drivers of fuel trait variability and fire regime in savanna ecosystems

Oikos, EarlyView.
Fuel traits are important determinants of fire behavior and regime in savannas and, thus, of how fire affects plant communities. However, whether these traits are correlated, predictable and how they are influenced by biotic and abiotic drivers remain to be rigorously evaluated.

Recurrent drought amplifies drought impacts and increases seasonal synchrony in mountain grassland communities

Oikos, EarlyView.
Climate change increases the recurrence of drought events with strong repercussions on grassland ecosystems. While the effects of single drought events on ecosystem structure and functioning are well understood, it is largely unknown whether and how recurrent drought events modify ecosystem responses to subsequent drought.

Structural stability of plant–pollinator interactions despite seasonal abundance of long‐tongued hawkmoths

Oikos, EarlyView.
Seasonal environmental cycles affect plant–pollinator interactions by altering plant phenology. Periods of low resource availability can filter pollinators and reduce the complexity of interaction networks, but the extent to which the functional morphology of pollinators influences such filtering remains unclear.

Forbs in Viking lands: the effect of disturbing dominant graminoids on recruitment in tundra grasslands

Oikos, EarlyView.
Grasslands, by definition, are dominated by graminoids. Nevertheless, forbs also make up a substantial part of vascular plant diversity in grasslands and are important resources of mammalian herbivores. However, forb recruitment is constrained by successful dominant graminoids, limiting access to safe sites for germination.

Ecosystem size reverses the effect of the spatial coupling between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems

Oikos, EarlyView.
The flow of non‐living resources between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems can impact their ecosystem function. However, ecosystem size is similarly known to influence ecological properties and it is uncertain how the size of coupled ecosystems mediates the effect of resource flows.
