The application of a functional trait‐based approach to ecological restoration is receiving
growing attention worldwide, but lack of knowledge on functional traits and how they link to …

A predictive understanding of the ecological impacts of nonnative species has been slow to
develop, owing largely to an apparent dearth of clearly defined hypotheses and the lack of a …

The interiors of plants are colonized by diverse microorganisms that are referred to as
endophytes. Endophytes have received much attention over the past few decades, yet many …

Aboveground-Belowground Linkages provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive
synthesis of recent advances in our understanding of the roles that interactions between …

Plant invasion potentially alters ecosystem carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles. However, the
overall direction and magnitude of such alterations are poorly quantified.• Here, 94 …

The impact on nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) cycles of human activity is a growing
concern and has several causes and consequences (MacDonald et al., 2011; Peñuelas et …

Denitrification, the anaerobic reduction of nitrogen oxides to nitrogenous gases, is an
extremely challenging process to measure and model. Much of this challenge arises from …

Background and Aims Global environmental change will affect non-native plant invasions,
with profound potential impacts on native plant populations, communities and ecosystems …

Ecosystems across the biosphere are subject to rapid changes in elemental balance and
climatic regimes. A major force structuring ecological responses to these perturbations lies …

Invasive plants have a multitude of impacts on plant communities through their direct and
indirect effects on soil chemistry and ecosystem function. For example, plants modify the soil …
