Below the leaves: Integrating above‐ and below‐ground phenology for earth‐system predictability

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Almost every aspect of biological systems has phenology—a pattern in activity or function linked to annual cycles. Most terrestrial phenology research focusses on leaves, the onset of leaf out or senescence.

Soil and microbial responses to wild ungulate trampling depend more on ecosystem type than trampling severity

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Physical trampling is a ubiquitous activity of walking vertebrates, but is poorly understood as a mechanism impacting biogeochemical cycling in soil. Lack of detailed knowledge of soil abiotic–biotic interactions underlying trampling effects, and the primary sources of ...

How vulnerable are amphibians to climate change? A mechanistic perspective

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Amphibians are frequently identified as highly vulnerable to climate change, yet the mechanisms driving this sensitivity remain uncertain. Approaches that explicitly link physiological mechanisms to environmental variation provide powerful tools for forecasting climate ...

Shrubs inhibit plant diseases by intercepting light in alpine meadows

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change is disproportionately impacting mountain ecosystems, leading to widespread shrub expansion into alpine meadows. Shrub encroachment alters the albedo, carbon budget and warming rate in alpine grasslands, but it remains challenging to predict how shrub ...
