How Institutions Shape the Effects of Agricultural Cooperatives on Their Members

Kyklos, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agricultural cooperatives represent a promising way of improving the quality of life of half a billion smallholders, who account for the vast majority of the world's food production. Yet, little is known about the institutional factors that explain the potential benefits of being a member of a cooperative.

A novel method based on high‐resolution imaging spectroscopy to predict fine‐root traits and the economics space of fresh tree roots

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Maps of the estimated root nitrogen concentration in the < 0.5‐mm‐diameter classes of 20 woody species based on the imaging spectroscopy using the shortwave infrared spectral region. Summary Tree fine‐root morphological, anatomical, and chemical traits are important to reflect belowground resource acquisition strategies to support tree growth, but ...

On the relationship between root economics and plant hydraulic traits

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Conceptual summary figure showing the results of the relationships between aboveground plant hydraulic strategies and root economics space (RES) traits. Summary Drought stress constrains the productivity of terrestrial ecosystems and the distribution of plant species.

A trait‐based integration of competition and abiotic tolerance underlies plant success

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Competitive effect and abiotic tolerance show positive associations with species' niche breadth and local dominance. Summary Understanding what determines species' ecological success is a central challenge in ecology. Competitive ability and abiotic tolerance are expected to be strong predictors of species success, yet theory predicts a trade‐off ...

Restored wetlands: interplay between environmental variables, aboveground and belowground plant traits, and carbon cycling

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Assessing relationships between environmental conditions, aboveground and belowground plant traits, and carbon cycling in restored wetlands (grazed and ungrazed), compared to a baseline in near‐natural wetlands in Denmark, revealed that ecosystem functions can be restored, even in cases where plant biodiversity has not recovered.

Is Fluorescence‐Guided Surgery Reliable for the Treatment of MRONJ? A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Identification of healthy bone margins is a critical step in the surgical resective treatment of medication‐related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Fluorescence‐guided surgery (FGS) has been proposed as a method to identify resection margins and improve clinical outcomes.
