A starting guide to root ecology: strengthening ecological concepts and standardising root classification, sampling, processing and trait measurements
In the context of a recent massive increase in research on plant root functions and their
impact on the environment, root ecologists currently face many important challenges to keep …

Revisiting the H oly G rail: using plant functional traits to understand ecological processes
One of ecology's grand challenges is developing general rules to explain and predict highly
complex systems. Understanding and predicting ecological processes from species' traits …

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal species and taxonomic groups on stressed and unstressed plants: a global meta‐analysis
The great majority of plants gain access to soil nutrients and enhance their performance
under stressful conditions through symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). The …

Corrigendum to: New handbook for standardised measurement of plant functional traits worldwide
Plant functional traits are the features (morphological, physiological, phenological) that
represent ecological strategies and determine how plants respond to environmental factors …

Scaling from traits to ecosystems: developing a general trait driver theory via integrating trait-based and metabolic scaling theories
Aim: More powerful tests of biodiversity theories need to move beyond species richness and
explicitly focus on mechanisms generating diversity via trait composition. The rise of trait …

Functional traits, convergent evolution, and periodic tables of niches
Ecology is often said to lack general theories sufficiently predictive for applications. Here, we
examine the concept of a periodic table of niches and feasibility of niche classification …

Plant functional traits and soil carbon sequestration in contrasting biomes
Plant functional traits control a variety of terrestrial ecosystem processes, including soil
carbon storage which is a key component of the global carbon cycle. Plant traits regulate net …
