Despite the disproportionate influence that propagule production, dispersal, seed‐to‐
seedling recruitment and vegetative reproduction can have on plant population and …

Despite the urgent demand for sustainable mining, the revegetation and rehabilitation of
areas degraded by mining activities remain challenging. Uncertainties about species …

Plant functional traits directly affect ecosystem functions. At the species level, trait
combinations depend on trade-offs representing different ecological strategies, but at the …

Aim To understand how functional traits and evolutionary history shape the geographic
distribution of plant life on Earth, we need to integrate high‐quality and global‐scale …

Central and South America tropical dry forest (TDF) is a water-limited biome with a high
number of endemic species and numerous ecosystem services which has experienced a …

Plant functional traits regulate ecosystem functions but little is known about how co‐
occurring gradients of land use and edaphic conditions influence their expression. We test …

Some commonly reported trait–trait relationships between species, including the leaf
economic spectrum (LES), are regarded as important plant strategies but whether these …

The effects of human disturbance on biodiversity can be mediated by environmental
conditions, such as water availability, climate and nutrients. In general, disturbed, dry or …

In seasonal plant communities, it is recognized that topography-related variation in water
availability and solar radiation determine vegetation structure and community composition; …

Soil macropores are crucial to assess soil stability and control erosion as an essential
component of soil structure. The variations in soil macropores with vegetation succession …
