(Wiley, 2013-04)
      Most plant species have a range of traits that deter herbivores. However, understanding of how different defences are related to one another is surprisingly weak. Many authors argue that defence traits trade off against ...
    • Drivers of seedling establishment success in dryland restoration efforts. 

      Shackelford, Nancy; Paterno, Gustavo B.; Winkler, Daniel E.; Erickson, Todd E.; Leger, Elizabeth A.; Svejcar, Lauren N.; Breed , Martin F.; Faist, Akasha M.; Harrison, Peter A.; Curran, Michael F.; Peri, Pablo Luis; Suding, Katharine L. (Springer Nature, 2021-09)
      Restoration of degraded drylands is urgently needed to mitigate climate change, reverse desertification and secure livelihoods for the two billion people who live in these areas. Bold global targets have been set for dryland ...
    • General destabilizing effects of eutrophication on grassland productivity at multiple spatial scales 

      Hautier, Yann; Zhang, Pengfei; Loreau, Michel; Wilcox, Kevin R.; Seabloom, Eric William; Borer, Elizabeth T.; Byrnes, Jarrett E.K.; Koerner, Sally E.; Komatsu, Kimberly J.; Lefcheck, Jonathan S.; Hector, Andy; Adler, Peter B.; Alberti, Juan; Arnillas, Carlos Alberto; Bakker, Jonathan D.; Brudvig, Lars A.; Bugalho, Miguel N.; Cadotte, Marc.; Caldeira, Maria C.; Carroll, Oliver; Crawley, Mick; Collins, Scott L.; Daleo, Pedro; Dee, Laura E.; Eisenhauer, Nico; Eskelinen, Anu; Fay, Philip A.; Gilbert, Benjamin; Hansar, Amandine; Isbell, Forest; Knops, Johannes M.H.; MacDougall, Andrew S.; McCulley, Rebecca L.; Moore, Joslin L.; Morgan, John W.; Mori, Akira S.; Peri, Pablo Luis; Pos, Edwin; Power, Sally A.; Price, Jodi N.; Reich, Peter B.; Risch, Anita C.; Roscher, Christiane; Sankaran, Mahesh; Schütz, Martin; Smith, Melinda D.; Stevens, Carly J.; Tognetti, Pedro Maximiliano; Virtanen, Risto; Wardle, Glenda M.; Wilfahrt, Peter A.; Wang, Shaopeng (Springer Nature, 2020-10-23)
      Eutrophication is a widespread environmental change that usually reduces the stabilizing effect of plant diversity on productivity in local communities. Whether this effect is scale dependent remains to be elucidated. Here, ...
    • Invasions: the trail behind, the path ahead, and a test of a disturbing idea 

      Moles, Angela; Flores Moreno, Habacuc; Bonser, Stephen P.; Warton, David I.; Helm, Aveliina; Warman, Laura; Eldridge, David J.; Jurado, Enrique; Hemmings, Frank A.; Reich, Peter B.; Cavender Bares, Jeannine; Seabloom, Eric William; Mayfield, Margaret M.; Sheil, Douglas; Djietror, Jonathan C.; Peri, Pablo Luis; Enrico, Lucas; Cabido, Marcelo Ruben; Setterfield, Samantha; Lehman, Caroline; Thomson, Fiona (Wiley, 2012-01)
      We provide a brief overview of progress in our understanding of introduced plant species. Three main conclusions emerge from our review: (i) Many lines of research, including the search for traits that make species good ...
    • Leaf nutrients, not specific leaf area, are consistent indicators of elevated nutrient inputs 

      Firn, Jennifer L.; McGree, James M.; Harvey, Eric; Flores-Moreno, Habacuc; Schütz, Martin; Buckley, Yvonne M.; Borer, Elizabeth T.; Seabloom, Eric William; La Pierre, Kimberly J.; MacDougall, Andrew S.; Prober, Suzanne M.; Stevens, Carly J.; Sullivan, Lauren L.; Porter, Erica; Ladouceur, Emma; Allen, Charlotte; Moromizato, Karine H.; Morgan, John W.; Harpole, William Stanley; Hautier, Yann; Eisenhauer, Nico; Wright, Justin P.; Adler, Peter B.; Arnillas, Carlos Alberto; Bakker, Jonathan D.; Biederman, Lori; Broadbent, Arthur A.D.; Brown, Cynthia S.; Bugalho, Miguel N.; Caldeira, Maria C.; Cleland, Elsa E.; Ebeling, Anne; Fay, Philip A.; Hagenah, Nicole; Kleinhesselink, Andrew R.; Mitchell, Rachel; Moore, Joslin L.; Nogueira, Carla; Peri, Pablo Luis; Roscher, Christiane; Smith, Melinda D.; Wragg, Peter D.; Risch, Anita C. (Nature Research, 2019)
      Leaf traits are frequently measured in ecology to provide a ‘common currency’ for predicting how anthropogenic pressures impact ecosystem function. Here, we test whether leaf traits consistently respond to experimental ...
    • Physico-chemical properties of plant cuticles and their functional and ecological significance 

      Fernández, Victoria; Bahamonde, Héctor Alejandro; Peguero-Pina, José Javier; Gil-Pelegrín, Eustaquio; Sancho-Knapik, Domingo; Gil, Luis; Goldbach, Heiner E.; Eichert, Thomas (2017-11)
      Most aerial plant surfaces are covered with a lipid-rich cuticle, which is a barrier for the bidirectional transport of substances between the plant and the surrounding environment. This review article provides an overview ...
