Different from the start: key dimensions of seedling traits of central European temperate grassland species

Oikos, EarlyView.
Plant traits and their tradeoffs are major determinants of plant functions. Although trait‐based frameworks should apply to plant functioning at any life stage, they have been primarily established for adult plants. Therefore, we lack comprehensive trait‐based studies of seedlings across multiple species to prove which key dimensions of trait variation

Whole‐seedling trait adjustments of mountain birch under contrasting environmental conditions

Oikos, EarlyView.
Warming temperatures can promote arctic tree seedling establishment and growth, but these effects depend on the environmental context and the seedlings' capacity to acquire limiting resources. Here, we tested how temperature, soil properties, and the presence of a neighbouring shrub influence seedling growth rates.

The effect of light availability and spatio‐temporal heterogeneity on the soil seed bank diversity in temperate forests

Oikos, EarlyView.
Light is a key driver of understory plant diversity, also important for seed germination, yet its effect on forests soil seed bank diversity remains underexplored. This study assessed the impact of both light availability and spatio‐temporal heterogeneity on soil seed bank diversity.

Nutritional quality and calorific value of Amazonian forest litter

, 1974
A study on the nutritional quality of litter from an Amazon terra firme forest was carried out to supplement quantitative data on litter production previously published by KLINGE and RODRIGUES (1968).

Bottom–up and top–down drivers influence urbanization effects on insect herbivory in oaks

Oikos, EarlyView.
Urban forests provide essential ecosystem services, including pest control, biodiversity conservation, and human health benefits. Herbivory is a widespread biotic interaction that shapes ecosystem functions, such as primary productivity and soil fertility, which underpin these services.

Butterfly and moth habitat specialisation changes along an elevational gradient of tropical forests on Mount Cameroon

Oikos, EarlyView.
Niche breadth, reflecting the range of environmental conditions or resources a species can exploit, influences its distribution, persistence, vulnerability to environmental change, and interspecific interactions. The elevational niche‐breadth hypothesis predicts broader ecological niches at higher elevations due to increased environmental stress and ...
