Pioneering investigations on the effects of introduced populations on community structure,
ecosystem functioning and services have focused on the effects of invaders on taxonomic …

Ongoing climate change, as well as long-term overgrazing, is threatening biodiversity and
ecosystem functioning in grasslands worldwide. Climate change and grazing could directly …

Despite their importance, how plant communities and soil microorganisms interact to
determine the capacity of ecosystems to provide multiple functions simultaneously …

Although invasive plants increasingly contribute to the current biodiversity crisis, the
mechanisms through which they impact native communities are still poorly understood …

Mega dams in lowland tropical forests often create large archipelagos, leading to
biodiversity decay and disruption of ecosystem functioning in remnant habitat islands. We …

Across environmental gradients, community‐level functional traits of plants can change due
to species turnover, intraspecific variation and their covariation. Studies on vascular plants …

River damming reduces the dispersal rates of biota and filter species by altering the local
environmental conditions. Although phytoplankton is a key biotic group to indicate changes …

The response of riparian vegetation to flow regulation has been a research focus for
decades. Several studies have shed light on the effects of flow stabilisation on riparian …

Landscape changes due to habitat loss and fragmentation can result in complex changes in
biodiversity and functional diversity. On the other hand, the functional diversity changes also …

Measures of functional diversity are increasingly being used in ecological research to
understand and predict vegetation ecosystem changes. However, there is currently no …
