Microplastic mixtures are ubiquitously distributed in global ecosystems and include varying
types. However, it remains unknown how microplastic diversity affects the biotic interactions …

Understanding the complex interactions between trees and fungi is crucial for forest
ecosystem management, yet the influence of tree mycorrhizal types, species identity, and …

Plant-soil feedback (PSF) is an important driver of plant species coexistence and diversity
maintenance. However, it remains unclear how changes in PSF due to decline in tree …

As keystone structures in urban ecosystems, trees are critical to addressing many of the
current livability, health, and environmental challenges facing cities. Every day, trees are …

Biodiversity is declining on a global scale with detrimental effects on ecosystem functioning.
Effects of reduced tree diversity on the diversity of aboveground animals have been studied …

Organismal functional strategies form a continuum from slow-to fast-growing organisms, in
response to common drivers such as resource availability and disturbance. However …

Understanding the mechanisms underlying diversity–productivity relationships (DPRs) is
crucial to mitigating the effects of forest biodiversity loss. Tree–tree interactions in diverse …

Tree growth is a key component of forest ecosystem functioning and is wellknown to be
limited by water availability [1]. It is acknowledged that composition and diversity of co …

Examples of positive effects of biodiversity on ecosystem functions have kept accumulating
in the last two decades, and functional traits are considered suitable tools to explain their …

The study of tree species coexistence is crucial to understand the assembly of forest
communities. In this context, trees adjust their traits in response to the interactions with other …
