🌱This study reveals a dual response in grasslands to repeated drought, where community fine root traits maintain high resistance through species turnover, suggesting that community functional responses to climate extremes cannot be inferred from species trait shifts alone 👉️ buff.ly/gmDusXy

🍂 Nutrient resorption from leaves and its transfer to twigs during autumn shape spring bud break in woody plants. This study indicates that species with efficient nutrient strategies support earlier spring growth and exhibit greater climate adaptability 👉️ buff.ly/uEMhC2u

🪴 Differences in pathogen communities across ranges may have caused evolutionary changes in plant–pathogen associations in C. canadensis 👉️ buff.ly/uwmTdHc

🌱 Persistent species drive grassland stability through stable and complementary population fluctuations. Nutrient enrichment undermines this stability by harming these key species, rather than by boosting transient ones 👉️ buff.ly/K4ghS2I

🍃 Recent study experimentally links evolutionary and biogeographic divergence to competitive outcomes among Quercus congeners, uniting Darwin’s naturalization hypothesis, coexistence theory and the stress-gradient framework 👉️ buff.ly/nC9lRlE

🌱 This recent Review explains how fungi trade plant carbon for nutrients in a soil "micro-market" where there's cooperation under scarcity and competition when abundant 👉️ buff.ly/8CWGf5Y

🌱Clonality enhances parental effects on offspring performance in predictable benign environments, but does not increase the chance of adaptive parental effects in predictable stressful environments 👉️ buff.ly/Jh9zYzu

🌧️ Aboveground and belowground components exhibit contrasting and non-linear responses to changing precipitation in alpine ecosystems 👉️ buff.ly/oPUt1KU

🐠Abundant kelp canopies offset warming by keeping reef fish Community Temperature Index (CTI) lower than local temperatures predict. Where kelp is less abundant, this buffering weakens & tropicalisation advances, with more warm-affinity species and higher fish diversity 👉️ buff.ly/9sS73fv

🌱 This study enhances our mechanistic understanding of ecosystem responses to N deposition and provides evidence-based guidance for grassland restoration under global changes 👉️ buff.ly/SMMAtBd

🐦️ Passerine birds in temperate Europe can fill a role as pollinators, and this may be most functional when the availability of insects, as both pollinators and food, is least reliable 👉️ buff.ly/bIrvaGY

🌿A field experiment in Mongolian grassland shows that short-term community stability can persist despite species loss, but the processes supporting it depend on which species are lost first. Non-random loss matters 👉️ buff.ly/2gFbWJF

🌲Terrain shapes how trees respond to climate across North America and Europe. Slope, aspect, and drainage create species-specific reproductive niches that may buffer climate change effects 👉️ buff.ly/A7yn8ZE

🌳In a decade-long study, mortality rates for quaking aspen across the western United States exceeded recruitment, leading to declines in the tree dominance. Drivers of decline included climate change, competition, and stand structure👉️ buff.ly/K1kGeOx

🪻How a wildflower responds to climate is driven by both its neighbour density & clonal reproduction; quantifying the interaction of these drivers is important to predict the consequences of future climates 👉️ buff.ly/VNx2WBc

🦌 Roe deer effects on herb-layer vegetation depend on canopy context. Roe deer alter shrub cover, herb species richness, and functional diversity in contrasting ways, revealing context-dependent pathways of understorey change 👉️ buff.ly/bnWYT8h

🍂 A new global meta-analysis reveals the effects of litter addition on plant performance and ecosystem functions 👉️ buff.ly/jp0v2hb

🍃Canopy has 67% more herbivores than understorey — but not more leaf damage! Resource dilution decouples abundance from herbivory in beech forests. Vertical structure & woody plant diversity drive layer-specific effects 👉️ buff.ly/V1Da1PG

🌳Tree species in forests of the eastern U.S. respond to deviations in climate from local long-term means. Whether this reflects genetic adaptation or more rapid acclimation has significant effects on expected forest response to climate change👉️ buff.ly/MG82omh
