Why phylogenetic signal of traits is important in ecosystems: uniformity of a plant trait increases soil fauna, but only in a phylogenetically uniform vegetation
Phylogenetically closely related plant species often share similar trait states (phylogenetic
signal), but local assembly may favor dissimilar relatives and thereby decouple the diversity …

Why oaks should stay with their close relatives: growing in a distantly related neighbourhood delays and reorganizes nutrient recycling during litter decomposition
Closely related species often conserve similar niches despite interacting negatively. We
suggest that close relatives may interact positively via ecosystem feedbacks: leaf litter …
