Recurrent drought increases grassland community seasonal synchrony

This study shows that recurrent drought increases seasonal synchrony in grassland plant communities by reducing species richness and altering functional groups, making ecosystems more vulnerable to future disturbances.

Soil fungi remain active and invest in storage compounds during drought independent of future climate conditions

The paper shows that soil fungi maintain growth and increase storage compound investment during drought, regardless of future climate conditions.

Does the leaf economic spectrum hold within plant functional types? A Bayesian multivariate trait meta-analysis

The paper examines if leaf economic relationships exist within plant functional types using a Bayesian multivariate model and finds they are generally consistent but vary in strength across types.
