This review synthesized existing evidence on how plant #functionaltraits and #functionaldiversity influence key #wetland #ecosystemfunctioning, such as productivity, carbon cycling and nutrient cycling.

This review synthesized existing evidence on how plant #functionaltraits and #functionaldiversity influence key #wetland #ecosystemfunctioning, such as productivity, carbon cycling and nutrient cycling.
A new paper assessed the functional trait diversity of #edaphic #spiders and showed that, contrary to the traditional view, #caves do not harbour exclusively functionally homogeneous communities
New paper published in Functional Ecology!
We investigated plant community assembly on inland limestone cliffs across Alpine, Continental, and Mediterranean Europe.
