Ecological determinants of stability in dryland plant communities

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Conceptual framework for partitioning the drivers of community stability. Summary Community stability is often presented as crucial for sustaining ecosystem services under environmental change. Yet, its determinants (dominance, asynchrony in species fluctuations, averaging effect of species diversity) have rarely been disentangled in natural systems ...

Divergent trajectories of genome architecture and chromosome evolution in ferns and angiosperms

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Variation in key fern genomic traits across families, mapped onto a summary phylogenetic tree. Summary Ferns and angiosperms represent the two largest vascular plant lineages but exhibit striking genomic and ecological contrasts. We investigated whether differences in genome size, chromosome architecture, GC content, and stomatal traits reveal ...

Neutral interactions among non‐native plants are common

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Global distribution of studies and overall effect of co‐invasion for all metrics of non‐native plant performance combined. Summary Globalization has accelerated the establishment of non‐native plant species, increasing the prevalence of multispecies co‐invasions; yet interactions among co‐invaders remain poorly understood.

Thermal Safety Margins and Peak Leaf Temperatures Predict Vulnerability of Diverse Plant Species to an Experimental Heatwave

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extreme heat can push plants beyond their thermal safety margin (TSM) if maximum leaf temperature (Tleaf_max) exceeds leaf critical temperature (Tcrit). The TSM is potentially useful for assessing heat vulnerability across species but needs further validation, so we exposed 50 tree/shrub species in controlled glasshouses to a 6‐day heatwave ...

Consistent root microbiomes across contrasting habitats in a wild perennial vine

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Communities of bacteria and fungi associated with the roots are similar across diverse habitats in a wild plant. Abstract While we are beginning to understand that the plant microbiome is important for plant health, we still lack information about how plant microbiomes are shaped across environments and how they influence plant performance, in ...
