npj Biodiversity - Quantifying the influence of intraspecific variability in trait spaces

Our findings reveal complementary above- and below-ground shifts in multidimensional trait dissimilarity in response to neighbours, providing new insight into potential mechanisms by which plants dea...

This research highlights the significance of elucidating the mechanisms behind above-and below-ground organs. The varying trait coordination across clades indicates different resource acquisition str...

In forests, trait expression is influenced by tree-tree interactions. Castro Sánchez-Bermejo et al. show how phenotypic variability of tree species decreases with tree diversity and contributes import...

Our study reveals that competition fundamentally reshapes trait–growth relationships. Competition simultaneously increases individual trait variability while suppressing growth rates, forcing plants ....

How tree diversity effects on ecosystem functioning vary along climatic gradients is unclear. Here, analysing data from 15 experimental forest sites, the authors show that tree growth responses to nei...
