Local nutrient addition drives plant biodiversity losses but not biotic homogenization in global grasslands

This study shows nutrient addition reduces plant diversity at local and larger scales equally, without causing biotic homogenization in global grasslands.

Body size is a better predictor of intra- than interspecific variation of animal stoichiometry across realms

The paper analyzes animal stoichiometry across species and body sizes, finding body size better predicts intraspecific than interspecific variation in elemental content.

High within-tree leaf trait variation and its response to species diversity and soil nutrients

The paper quantifies intra-individual leaf trait variation in a subtropical forest and shows its complex interaction with soil nutrients and species diversity.

Sustainable land management enhances ecological and economic multifunctionality under ambient and future climate

This study shows sustainable land management improves ecological and economic multifunctionality in agroecosystems, even under future climate conditions.

Short-lived plants have stronger demographic responses to climate

The paper synthesizes population growth rate data from 165 plant populations to show precipitation has a larger effect on population growth than temperature, with short-lived species showing stronger responses.

Resilience trinity: safeguarding ecosystem services across three different time horizons and decision contexts

The paper introduces a conceptual framework called resilience trinity to manage ecosystem resilience across three decision contexts and time horizons.
