Trait variation driven by tree size more than environment and shows limited translation to species vital rates

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Functional traits are expected to predict vital rates and performance outcomes because they mediate how organisms interact with the environment. However, trait‐based models often have poor predictive power for tree species survival and growth.

Varying hydraulic strategies within leaves, stems and roots of coexisting desert shrubs

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Effective and continuous root‐to‐leaf hydraulic transport is crucial for plant survival and growth during drought. However, the capacity to resist hydraulic dysfunction remains understudied in leaves and roots, especially for desert shrubs.

Large parameter uncertainty persists in soil food web models integrating stoichiometry, respiration and assimilation

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil food web models are essential for linking animal diversity to carbon and nutrient cycling. However, it is unclear how soil animals regulate excess carbon when nutrient availability limits their growth and how to best represent animal respiration in these models. To

Biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning are driven by resource quality and contamination

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships are increasingly explained by species' traits and resource quality differences rather than richness alone, yet cross‐trophic effects and environmental context remain poorly resolved.

High‐dimensional elementomes outperform CNP models in explaining photosynthetic traits

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Links between plant elementomes (i.e. the concentration of chemical elements in plant tissue) and functional traits have the potential to improve predictions of plant physiological performance and ecosystem processes, and their response to environmental change.
