Balancing Productivity, Ecology, and Social Well‐Being: Insights From Three Decades of Farmland Transformation in China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Balancing food security, social equity, and ecological sustainability remains a persistent challenge in global agricultural systems. While economic and ecological aspects of land‐use transitions have been extensively studied, the long‐term dynamics of social functions and their interactions with other functions are less understood.

Patterns and environmental drivers of root traits across hydrological gradients in old growth boreal forests

Oikos, EarlyView.
Many key ecosystem functions are affected by plant roots and their traits. However, understanding of the patterns in, and drivers of, root traits lags far behind equivalent knowledge of above‐ground tissues, particularly in boreal old growth forests. We surveyed community‐level root traits across 11 old growth forests spanning a wide latitudinal range ...

Nonlinear interactive effects of temperature and soil moisture on plant biomass and carbon fluxes

Oikos, EarlyView.
Climate warming is affecting plant growth and CO2 fluxes in high‐latitude ecosystems. However, soil moisture – and how it responds to warming – can alter the shape of the relationship between temperature and both plant performance and ecosystem processes. We conducted a microcosm experiment to test the interactive effects of temperature, soil moisture,

Common‐garden experimental evaluation of phylogenetic and functional diversity as drivers of plant performance

Oikos, EarlyView.
Biodiversity is known to influence the performance of coexisting species and has been proposed as a management tool to enhance the resilience and functioning of plant communities under drought. However, experimental studies to disentangle the roles of phylogenetic and functional diversity as drivers of plant performance remain extremely scarce.

Bridging Human and Plant Adaptations for Climate Resilience

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is transforming agriculture through both gradual shifts and increasingly unpredictable extremes, challenging farmers' ability to protect crops and livelihoods. This study brings together farmer experiences and plant adaptation strategies to explore how people and plants respond to similar climate pressures.

Within‐tree spatial heterogeneity of sap flow velocities and wood properties and its effect on the uncertainty of tree level sap flux estimates

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As forests are important for biodiversity and recreation and provide vital resources globally, it is essential that their health can be accurately monitored, for example, by using sap flow probes to measure tree water uptake. We investigated whether sap flow measurements might differ at various locations within the same tree due to variation in wood ...
