The incorporation of green infrastructure (GI) into urban systems has emerged as an
important climate change mitigation and adaptation strategy. The rationale for incorporating …

Functional traits offer a promising avenue to improve predictions of species range shifts
under climate change, which will entail warmer and often drier conditions. Although the …

Rapid evolution remains a largely unrecognized factor in models that forecast the fate of
ecosystems under scenarios of global change. In this work, we quantified the roles of …

Trait-based ecology has improved our understanding of the functioning of organisms,
communities, ecosystems, and beyond. However, its predictive ability remains limited as …

Foliar functional traits are essential for understanding plant adaptation strategies and
ecosystem function. Due to limited in-situ observational data, there is a growing interest in …

The study of tree species coexistence is crucial to understand the assembly of forest
communities. In this context, trees adjust their traits in response to the interactions with other …

The emergence of functional ecology has changed the focus of ecological research from
investigating patterns of species diversity to understanding how species traits relate to …

The ecological consequences of environmental change are highly dependent on the
functional contributions of the surviving community, but categorical descriptors commonly …

Crop variety mixtures can provide many benefits, including pathogen suppression and
increased yield and yield stability. However, these benefits do not necessarily occur in all …

Restoration is moving towards a more mechanistic approach that emphasizes restoration of
ecosystem services. Trait-based approaches provide links between species identity and …
