Climate warming is considered to be among the most serious of anthropogenic stresses to
the environment, because it not only has direct effects on biodiversity, but it also exacerbates …

The use of functional diversity analyses in ecology has grown exponentially over the past
two decades, broadening our understanding of biological diversity and its change across …

Species traits are an essential currency in ecology, evolution, biogeography, and
conservation biology. However, trait databases are unavailable for most organisms …

What drives ecosystem buildup, diversity, and stability? We assess species arrival and
ecosystem changes across 16 millennia by combining regional-scale plant sedimentary …

Trait-based frameworks are promising tools to understand the functional consequences of
community shifts in response to environmental change. The applicability of these tools to soil …

Trait‐based ecology has already revealed main independent axes of trait variation defining
trait spaces that summarize plant adaptive strategies, but often ignoring intraspecific trait …

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

Aim Functional trait space analyses are pivotal to describe and compare organisms'
functional diversity across the tree of life. Yet, there is no single application that streamlines …

One of JP Grime's greatest achievements was demonstrating the importance of the
relationship between the environment and plant functional traits for understanding …
