    Stoichiometry and large-scale patterns of leaf carbon and nitrogen in the grassland biomes of China

    Nitrogen (N) and carbon–nitrogen (C:N) ratio are key foliar traits with great ecological importance, but their patterns across biomes have only recently been explored. We conducted a systematic census of folia...

    Leaf nitrogen:phosphorus stoichiometry across Chinese grassland biomes

    Leaf N and P stoichiometry covaries with many aspects of plant biology, yet the drivers of this trait at biogeographic scales remain uncertain. Recently we reported the patterns of leaf C and N based on system...

    Protected Area Safeguard Tree and Shrub Communities from Degradation and Invasion: A Case Study in Eastern Madagascar

    Despite their prevalence in both developed and develo** countries, there have been surprisingly few field assessments of the ecological effectiveness of protected areas. This study aimed to assess the effect...

    Taxonomic identity, phylogeny, climate and soil fertility as drivers of leaf traits across Chinese grassland biomes

    Although broad-scale inter-specific patterns of leaf traits are influenced by climate, soil, and taxonomic identity, integrated assessments of these drivers remain rare. Here, we quantify these drivers in a fi...

    Land use impacts on biodiversity in LCA: proposal of characterization factors based on functional diversity

    The focus of land use modeling in life cycle impact assessment has been mainly on taxonomic measures of biodiversity, namely species richness (SR). However, increasing availability of trait data for species ha...

    Consistent Effects of Biodiversity on Ecosystem Functioning Under Varying Density and Evenness

    Biodiversity experiments typically vary only species richness and composition, yet the generality of their results relies on consistent effects of these factors even under varying starting conditions of densit...

    Selection for niche differentiation in plant communities increases biodiversity effects

    Here, new ecological communities are established using plants from mixed-species communities or monocultures; ecosystem functioning and morphological trait diversity are shown to be greater in plants from mixe...

    Long term prevention of disturbance induces the collapse of a dominant species without altering ecosystem function

    Limitation of disturbances, such as grazing and fire, is a key tool for nature reserve management and ecological restoration. While the role of these disturbances in sha** ecosystem structure and functioning...
