Journal ArticleDOI

Biodiversity increases the resistance of ecosystem productivity to climate extremes

TL;DR: Biodiversity mainly stabilizes ecosystem productivity, and productivity-dependent ecosystem services, by increasing resistance to climate events, and restoration of biodiversity to increase it, mainly by changing the resistance of ecosystem productivity toClimate events.
Journal ArticleDOI

TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access

Jens Kattge, +754 more
TL;DR: The extent of the trait data compiled in TRY is evaluated and emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness are analyzed to conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Response diversity determines the resilience of ecosystems to environmental change.

TL;DR: A conceptual model is provided to describe how loss of response diversity may cause ecosystem degradation through decreased ecosystem resilience, and how response diversity contributes to functional compensation and to spatio‐temporal complementarity among species, leading to long‐term maintenance of ecosystem multifunctionality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predictive value of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in metastasis and prognosis of human colorectal cancer

TL;DR: VEGF is associated with the progression, invasion and metastasis of colorectal cancer, and overexpression of VEGF mRNA in the primary tumour is assumed to be closely correlated with poor prognosis in coloreCTal cancer patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

β-Diversity, Community Assembly, and Ecosystem Functioning

TL;DR: It is highlighted here the crucial role of β-diversity - a hitherto underexplored facet of biodiversity - for a better process-level understanding of biodiversity change and its consequences for ecosystems.
