Knowledge of differential life‐history strategies in arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is
relevant for understanding the ecology of this group and its potential role in sustainable …

Earth harbours an extraordinary plant phenotypic diversity that is at risk from ongoing global
changes,. However, it remains unknown how increasing aridity and livestock grazing …

Understanding the global variation of plant strategies is essential for unravelling eco-
evolutionary processes and ecosystem functions. Variation in ten fundamental aboveground …

Plant strategies are phenotypes shaped by natural selection that enable populations to
persist in a given environment. Plant strategy theory is essential for understanding the …

Plant trait variation is constrained by mechanical and energetic trade‐offs as attested by the
global spectrum of plant form and function and the fine‐root economics space for above‐and …

By modifying the biotic and abiotic properties of the soil, plants create soil legacies that can
affect vegetation dynamics through plant–soil feedbacks (PSF). PSF are generally attributed …

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 …

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 …

Islands are biodiversity hotspots that host unique assemblages. However, a substantial
proportion of island species are threatened and their long‐term survival is uncertain …

Traits offer a new, quantifiable view of ecology. Yet consensus over their links with
ecosystem functions remains elusive. We suggested one possible path out of the current …
