Diversity-enhanced canopy space occupation and leaf functional diversity jointly promote overyielding in tropical tree communities

The paper investigates how tree species diversity and functional traits affect canopy space filling and productivity in tropical forests, finding that functional diversity and taxonomic diversity enhance overyielding.

Mycorrhizal fungi modulate tree diversity effects on nutrient dynamics

The paper examines how tree species diversity and mycorrhizal associations affect nutrient dynamics in forest ecosystems, finding that mycorrhizal strategies mediate diversity effects on nutrient storage.

Exploring priority and year effects on plant diversity, productivity and vertical root distribution: first insights from a grassland field experiment

This study examines how the order of plant species arrival and year effects influence plant diversity, productivity, and root distribution in a grassland experiment.

Tree diversity increases forest temperature buffering

This study shows that higher tree species diversity enhances forest temperature buffering across multiple time scales, mediated by canopy density and structural diversity.

Tree diversity increases productivity through enhancing structural complexity across mycorrhizal types

The paper shows that tree species diversity increases productivity by enhancing structural complexity in temperate forests, regardless of mycorrhizal type.

Hydraulic diversity stabilizes productivity in a large-scale subtropical tree biodiversity experiment

The paper shows that tree species richness stabilizes forest productivity through increased species asynchrony and hydraulic trait diversity, not community-weighted means.
