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.

Plant economics spectrum governs leaf nitrogen and phosphorus resorption in subtropical transitional forests

BMC Plant Biology
Background Leaf nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) resorption is a fundamental adaptation strategy for plant nutrient conservation. However, the relative roles that environmental factors and plant functional traits play in regulating N and P resorption ...

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 ...

Developmental plasticity drives converge nt shifts in phosphorus acquisition strategies towards root phosphatase activity in Moso bamboo under nitrogen addition

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition is a major driver of global change. However, its effects on the developmental plasticity of plant nutrient strategies remain poorly understood.

Integrating experimental and observational approaches facilitates scaling species interactions to biodiversity patterns

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract To investigate how niche and fitness differences determine the outcome of species interactions and shape local biodiversity patterns, research has typically focused on either simplified experimental systems that test specific mechanisms or observational studies where ...

What can we learn from disability policy to advance our understanding of how to operationalise intersectionality in Australian policy frameworks?

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract Intersectional theory recognises inequity is rarely the result of one social identity; social identities, and their interaction with context and power relations, offer some protective factors, while marginalises others. Taking an intersectional approach to social policy has the potential to provide deeper insights in terms of identifying and ...

CHINESE UNIVERSITIES AS URBAN DEVELOPERS: The Tale of Two Innovation Complexes in Nanjing, China

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Chinese universities are important but undertheorized players in the production of urban built environments. Most work focuses on purpose‐built university towns, neglecting the redevelopment of underutilized downtown campuses. Therefore, this article considers how two publicly funded universities in Nanjing attempted to establish ‘innovation ...

EPISTEMIC EXTRACTIVISM IN ENGAGED URBAN AND HOUSING RESEARCH: Implications and Counter‐measures

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract What is ‘epistemic extractivism’, and how does it affect researchers who are engaged in urban and housing movements? This essay first explores the contexts of both engaged research and epistemic extractivism, clarifying their meanings and implications. It also disentangles the ethical and methodological risks posed by epistemic extractivism in

Not all Temperature Shocks are Alike: Disentangling Heat and High Temperature Shocks and Their Effects on Inflation in Australia

Economic Record, EarlyView.
We study the effects of heat and high temperature shocks on inflation in Australia using monthly, state‐level temperature anomaly data via two stages. In the first stage, we decompose temperature anomalies into orthogonal components using a structural vector autoregression with long‐run restrictions.

A Trade‐Off Between Leaf Carbon Economics and Plant Size Among Mangrove Species in Dongzhaigang, China

Ecology and Evolution
Plant size is closely linked to its leaf trait characteristics, which are essential for determining its form and function. These relationships constitute a fundamental component of the global spectrum of plant diversity.
