Remote sensing has transformed the monitoring of life on Earth by revealing spatial and
temporal dimensions of biological diversity through structural, compositional and functional …

Plant trait data have been used in various studies related to ecosystem functioning,
community ecology, and assessment of ecosystem services. Evidences are that plant …

Microbes regulate the composition and turnover of organic matter. Here we developed a
framework called Energy-Diversity-Trait integrative Analysis to quantify how dissolved …

Functional diversity (FD), the diversity of organism attributes that relates to their interactions
with the abiotic and biotic environment, has been increasingly used for the last two decades …

Diseases are major drivers of the deterioration of coral reefs and are linked to major
declines in coral abundance, reef functionality, and reef-related ecosystems services. An …

Plant functional traits are the features (morphological, physiological, phenological) that
represent ecological strategies and determine how plants respond to environmental factors …

Research on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning has demonstrated links between plant
diversity and ecosystem functions such as productivity,. At other trophic levels, the plant …

Drastic biodiversity declines have raised concerns about the deterioration of ecosystem
functions and have motivated much recent research on the relationship between species …

A new framework for measuring functional diversity (FD) from multiple traits has recently
been proposed. This framework was mostly limited to quantitative traits without missing …

Microbial communities carry out the majority of the biochemical activity on the planet, and
they play integral roles in processes including metabolism and immune homeostasis in the …
