Plant community impact on productivity: Trait diversity or key (stone) species effects?
Outside controlled experimental plots, the impact of community attributes on primary
productivity has rarely been compared to that of individual species. Here, we identified plant …

Relationships between plant traits, soil properties and carbon fluxes differ between monocultures and mixed communities in temperate grassland
The use of plant traits to predict ecosystem functions has been gaining growing attention.

Modelling effects of root growth and decay on soil water retention and permeability
Plant roots can change the soil water retention curve (SWRC) and saturated permeability (k
sat) of vegetated soils. However, there is no model that could capture both the effects of root …

Responses of rhizosphere fungi to the root economics space in grassland monocultures of different age
Recent studies on root traits have shown that there are two axes explaining trait variation
belowground: the collaboration axis with mycorrhizal partners and the conservation ('fast …

Drought legacy effects on root morphological traits and plant biomass via soil biota feedback
Drought causes soil feedback effects on plant performance. However, how the linkages
between conditioned soil biota and root traits contribute to explain plant–soil feedback (PSF) …

Root functional parameters predict fine root decomposability at the community level
Root quality is one of the main drivers of fine root decomposition, an important process
controlling soil carbon (C) and nutrient cycling in most terrestrial ecosystems. Root quality is …
