Our ability to understand and predict the response of ecosystems a changing environment depends on quantifying vegetation functional diversity. However, representing this diversity at global scale is challenging. Typically, in Earth system models, characterization plant has been limited grouping related species into types (PFTs), with all trait variation PFT collapsed single mean value that applied globally. Using largest database state art Bayesian modeling, we created fine-grained maps...
Abstract Aims Vegetation‐plot records provide information on the presence and cover or abundance of plants co‐occurring in same community. data are spread across research groups, environmental agencies biodiversity centers and, thus, rarely accessible at continental global scales. Here we present sPlot database, which collates vegetation plots worldwide to allow for exploration patterns taxonomic, functional phylogenetic diversity plant community level. Results version 2.1 contains from...
Abstract Plant functional traits can predict community assembly and ecosystem functioning are thus widely used in global models of vegetation dynamics land–climate feedbacks. Still, we lack a understanding how land climate affect plant traits. A previous analysis six observed two main axes variation: (1) size variation at the organ level (2) leaf economics balancing persistence against growth potential. The orthogonality these suggests they differently influenced by environmental drivers. We...
Summary Biotic resistance, the ability of species in a community to limit invasion, is central our understanding how communities at risk invasion assemble after disturbances, but it has yet translate into guiding principles for restoration invasion‐resistant plant communities. We combined experimental, functional, and modelling approaches investigate processes assembly contributing biotic resistance an introduced lineage Phragmites australis , model invasive North America. hypothesized that...
Abstract Aim Plant trait databases often contain traits that are correlated, but for whom direct (undirected statistical dependency) and indirect (mediated by other traits) connections may be confounded. The confounding of correlation connection hinders our understanding plant strategies, how these vary among growth forms climate zones. We identified the across relevant to competition, resource acquisition reproductive strategies using a global database explored whether within between from...
Significance Invasive alien species pose major threats to biodiversity and ecosystems. However, identifying drivers of invasion success has been challenging, in part because can achieve invasiveness different ways, each corresponding aspects demographics distribution. Employing a multidimensional perspective Europe’s flora, we find generally fall along an axis from overall poor invaders super that become abundant, widespread, invade diverse habitats. Some deviate this pattern are recently...
Here we provide the 'Global Spectrum of Plant Form and Function Dataset', containing species mean values for six vascular plant traits. Together, these traits -plant height, stem specific density, leaf area, mass per nitrogen content dry mass, diaspore (seed or spore) - define primary axes variation in form function. The dataset is based on ca. 1 million trait records received via TRY database (representing 2,500 original publications) additional unpublished data. It provides 92,159 traits,...
As Earth's climate has varied strongly through geological time, studying the impacts of past change on biodiversity helps to understand risks from future change. However, it remains unclear how paleoclimate shapes spatial variation in biodiversity. Here, we assessed influence Quaternary dissimilarity taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional composition among neighboring 200-kilometer cells (beta-diversity) for angiosperm trees worldwide. We found that larger glacial-interglacial temperature...
Safeguarding Earth's tree diversity is a conservation priority due to the importance of trees for biodiversity and ecosystem functions services such as carbon sequestration. Here, we improve foundation effective global by analyzing recently developed database species covering 46,752 species. We quantify range protection anthropogenic pressures each develop priorities across taxonomic, phylogenetic, functional dimensions. also assess effectiveness several influential proposed prioritization...
Abstract Fundamental axes of variation in plant traits result from trade-offs between costs and benefits resource-use strategies at the leaf scale. However, it is unclear whether similar propagate to ecosystem level. Here, we test trait correlation patterns predicted by three well-known leaf- plant-level coordination theories – economics spectrum, global spectrum form function, least-cost hypothesis are also observed community mean processes. We combined functional properties FLUXNET sites,...
Evolutionary radiations of woody taxa within arid environments were made possible by multiple trait innovations including deep roots and embolism-resistant xylem, but little is known about how these traits have coevolved across the phylogeny plants or they jointly influence distribution species. We synthesized global vegetation plot datasets to examine rooting depth xylem vulnerability 188 plant species interact with aridity, precipitation seasonality, water table occurrence probabilities...
Organic carbon stored in coastal wetlands, which comprises the major part of oceanic "blue carbon," is a subject growing interest and concern. In this study, organic storage wetlands its economic value were estimated using raw data 25 studies related to soil storage. Data collected from three tidal flats (one protected two developed areas) estuarine salt marshes one restored area). Bulk density, matter content, standing biomass vegetation all considered, with Monte Carlo simulation applied...
Abstract Empirical evidence shows that early arrival of native species, which induces the priority effects, can contribute to invasive plant species containment. However, more systematic studies are required test applied relevance effect. This study therefore aimed at testing effects generated by different sowing times seeds nine on one target is, Giant ragweed ( Ambrosia trifida ). hypothesized that, when sown earlier, some will be able substantially contain A. through resource preemption....
Abstract This article reviews and synthesizes the articles published in a virtual special issue (VSI) “Land Degradation Development India: Status quo , challenges, opportunities.” A total of 31 studies (28 research papers three reviews) are this VSI covering various agroclimatic zones India. These provide insights on how different natural anthropogenic disturbances affect diversity, functioning forests, grasslands, agriculture, agroforestry, physicochemical biological composition soil....
Abstract Biotic resistance is the ability of species in a community to limit invasion other species. However, biotic not widely used control invasive plants. Experimental, functional, and modeling approaches were combined investigate processes by Ageratina altissima (white snakeroot) , model South Korea. We hypothesized that (1) functional group identity would be good predictor A. whereas effect redundant within group, (2) mixtures more resistant than monocultures. classified 37 native...
