[HTML][HTML] Towards unraveling macroecological patterns in rhizosphere microbiomes
It is generally accepted that plants locally influence the composition and activity of their
rhizosphere microbiome, and that rhizosphere community assembly further involves a …

Predicting the structure of soil communities from plant community taxonomy, phylogeny, and traits
There are numerous ways in which plants can influence the composition of soil
communities. However, it remains unclear whether information on plant community …

Heterogeneity–diversity relationships differ between and within trophic levels in temperate forests
The habitat heterogeneity hypothesis predicts that biodiversity increases with increasing
habitat heterogeneity due to greater niche dimensionality. However, recent studies have …

Multiple plant diversity components drive consumer communities across ecosystems
Humans modify ecosystems and biodiversity worldwide, with negative consequences for
ecosystem functioning. Promoting plant diversity is increasingly suggested as a mitigation …

Similarity of introduced plant species to native ones facilitates naturalization, but differences enhance invasion success
The search for traits associated with plant invasiveness has yielded contradictory results, in
part because most previous studies have failed to recognize that different traits are important …

Root trait responses to drought are more heterogeneous than leaf trait responses
Drought can strongly modify plant diversity and ecosystem processes. As droughts are
expected to intensify in the future, it is important to better understand plant responses to this …

Contrasting changes in taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity during a long‐term succession: insights into assembly processes
Theory predicts that the processes generating biodiversity after disturbance will change
during succession. Comparisons of phylogenetic and functional (alpha and beta) diversity …

Spatial and evolutionary predictability of phytochemical diversity
To cope with environmental challenges, plants produce a wide diversity of phytochemicals,
which are also the source of numerous medicines. Despite decades of research in chemical …

Fungal diversity regulates plant-soil feedbacks in temperate grassland
Feedbacks between plants and soil microbial communities play an important role in
vegetation dynamics, but the underlying mechanisms remain unresolved. Here, we show …

Novel trophic interactions under climate change promote alpine plant coexistence
Herbivory and plant defenses exhibit a coupled decline along elevation gradients. However,
the current ecological equilibrium could be disrupted under climate change, with a faster …
