Earth's biodiversity and carbon uptake by plants, or primary productivity, are intricately
interlinked, underlie many essential ecosystem processes, and depend on the interplay …

The relationship between plant aboveground biomass and diversity typically follows a
unimodal pattern, showing a positive correlation in resource‐poor habitats and a negative …

Aim Understanding the drivers of global diversity has challenged ecologists for decades.
Drivers related to the environment, productivity and heterogeneity are considered primary …

Despite decades of research, ecologists continue to debate how spatial patterns of species
richness arise across elevational gradients on the Earth. The equivocal results of these …

One of the most widely documented patterns in plant ecology is the decrease in species
diversity following nutrient enrichment. A long‐standing explanation for this diversity decline …

While environmental science, and ecology in particular, is working to provide better
understanding to base sustainable decisions on, the way scientific understanding is …

Rangelands' ability to provide ecosystem services (ESs) depends on ecosystem properties
and functions, which are interactively driven by biophysical and land-use drivers. In West …

Aboveground biomass (AGB) and belowground biomass (BGB) allocation and productivity–
richness relationship are controversial. Here, we assessed AGB and BGB allocation and the …

In many parts of Africa, spatially-explicit information on plant α-diversity, ie, the number of
species in a given area, is missing as baseline information for spatial planning. We present …

Questions Local size structure is frequently measured in plant populations and forested
systems due to its association with population‐and community‐level processes. In contrast …
