Plant traits alone are poor predictors of ecosystem properties and long-term ecosystem functioning
F Van der Plas, T Schröder-Georgi, A Weigelt… - Nature ecology & …, 2020 - nature.com
Earth is home to over 350,000 vascular plant species that differ in their traits in innumerable
ways. A key challenge is to predict how natural or anthropogenically driven changes in the …

Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning relations in European forests depend on environmental context
The importance of biodiversity in supporting ecosystem functioning is generally well
accepted. However, most evidence comes from small‐scale studies, and scaling‐up …
