Global Ecology and ConservationA trait-based approach can be used to effectively elucidate the adaptive strategies of trees in response to climate change, although the strategies of saplings remain unclear.

Oikos, EarlyView.Plant traits and their tradeoffs are major determinants of plant functions. Although trait‐based frameworks should apply to plant functioning at any life stage, they have been primarily established for adult plants. Therefore, we lack comprehensive trait‐based studies of seedlings across multiple species to prove which key dimensions of trait variation

Variety in evolutionary strategies favours biodiversity in habitats of moderate productivity [PDF]
, 2011 The mechanism whereby biodiversity varies between habitats differing in productivity is a missing link between ecological and evolutionary theory with vital implications for biodiversity conservation, management and the assessment of ecosystem services ...

Whole‐seedling trait adjustments of mountain birch under contrasting environmental conditions
Oikos, EarlyView.Warming temperatures can promote arctic tree seedling establishment and growth, but these effects depend on the environmental context and the seedlings' capacity to acquire limiting resources. Here, we tested how temperature, soil properties, and the presence of a neighbouring shrub influence seedling growth rates.

Landscape context mediates the relationship between plant functional traits and decomposition [PDF]
, 2019 Aims: It has been well demonstrated that several interacting endogenous and exogenous factors influence decomposition. However, teasing apart the direct and indirect effects of these factors to predict decomposition patterns in heterogenous landscapes ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Plants live in a heterogeneous world, where nutrient and neighbour distributions vary in space and time. Plants can respond to this variation through plastic responses in individual organs, which are assumed to be coordinated among traits to support a coherent, adaptive strategy, maintaining plant growth in varying environments.

Dry Bean Pest Scouting Report [PDF]
, 2016 A survey of dry bean pests was conducted on farms throughout Vermont during the 2016 season. Plant diseases and insect pests were scouted on five Vermont farm locations in the towns of Alburgh, Cambridge, Danby, Glover, and North Ferrisburg.

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Efforts to address gender‐based violence in humanitarian settings increasingly call for recognition of and funding to local women‐led organizations and women's rights organizations for long‐term response. The Empowered Aid initiative seeks to address sexual exploitation and abuse by working with local organizations as well as the refugee women

The photosynthesis-foliar nitrogen relationship in deciduous and evergreen forests in New Hampshire [PDF]
, 2018 Biomass production in forests is a key process in the global carbon (C) cycle that is strongly linked to photosynthesis and related leaf traits. Spatially, relationships among leaf traits can vary as a function of climate, soils and species composition.
