Functional diversity enhances the resistance of ecosystem multifunctionality to aridity in Mediterranean drylands [PDF]
, 2015 1. We used a functional trait-based approach to assess the impacts of aridity and shrub encroachment on the functional structure of Mediterranean dryland communities (functional diversity (FD) and community-weighted mean trait values (CWM)), and to ...

Ectomycorrhizal fungal communities and their functional traits mediate plant–soil interactions in trace element contaminated soils [PDF]
, 2018 There is an increasing consensus that microbial communities have an important role in mediating ecosystem processes. Trait-based ecology predicts that the impact of the microbial communities on ecosystem functions will be mediated by the expression of ...
