Trait-based approaches are being increasingly adopted to understand species' ecological
strategies and how organisms influence ecosystem function. Trait-based research on soil …

Plant roots show extraordinary diversity in form and function in heterogeneous
environments. Mounting evidence has shown global bi-dimensionality in root traits, the root …

Plant diversity effects on community productivity often increase over time. Whether the
strengthening of diversity effects is caused by temporal shifts in species-level overyielding …

Although the above and belowground sizes and shapes of plants strongly influence plant
competition, community structure, and plant–environment interactions, plant sizes and …

This study aimed to examine the effects of spatial and temporal variability in edaphic, and
climatic attributeson soil net nitrogen mineralization rate, and to understand the pattern of …

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 …

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 …

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

Wetlands are the largest natural source of methane (CH4) globally. Climate and land use
change are expected to alter CH4 emissions but current and future wetland CH4 budgets …
