Fast and furious: Early differences in growth rate drive short-term plant dominance and exclusion under eutrophication.
Pengfei Zhang,Mariet M. Hefting,Merel B. Soons,George A. Kowalchuk,Mark Rees,Andy Hector,Lindsay A. Turnbull,Xiaolong Zhou,Zhi Guo,Chengjing Chu,Guozhen Du,Yann Hautier +11 more
TL;DR: The results of two studies suggest that plant species growing faster during the early stage of the growing season gain a competitive advantage over species that initially grow more slowly, and that this advantage is magnified under fertilization.
Journal ArticleDOI
The road to recovery: a synthesis of outcomes from ecosystem restoration in tropical and sub-tropical Asian forests

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors assess the contribution of tree planting to ecosystem restoration in tropical and sub-tropical Asia; synthesize evidence on mortality and growth of planted trees at 176 sites and assess structural and biodiversity recovery of co-located actively restored and naturally regenerating forest plots.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ingestion by an endemic frugivore enhances seed germination of endemic plant species but decreases seedling survival of exotics
Nicolas Zuël,Nicolas Zuël,Christine J. Griffiths,Andy Hector,Dennis M. Hansen,Carl G. Jones,Carl G. Jones,Matthias Albrecht +7 more
TL;DR: These endemic frugivores can enhance the competitiveness of endemic compared with exotic fleshy fruited plants at the critical germination and seedling establishment stage, and conservation and restoration of mutualistic endemic plant–animal interactions may be vital to mitigating the degradation of habitats invaded by exotic plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grand challenges in biodiversity-ecosystem functioning research in the era of science-policy platforms require explicit consideration of feedbacks.
Mary I. O'Connor,Akira Mori,Andrew Gonzalez,Laura E. Dee,Michel Loreau,Meghan L. Avolio,Jarrett E. K. Byrnes,William W. L. Cheung,Jane Cowles,Adam Thomas Clark,Yann Hautier,Andy Hector,Kimberly J. Komatsu,Tim Newbold,Charlotte L. Outhwaite,Peter B. Reich,Eric W. Seabloom,Laura Williams,Alexandra J. Wright,Forest Isbell +19 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the feedbacks between biodiversity, ecosystem services and human wellbeing are not fully accounted for in global policy e.g., in the context of resilient socio-economic systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correction: Biodiversity Promotes Tree Growth during Succession in Subtropical Forest
Martin Baruffol,Bernhard Schmid,Helge Bruelheide,Xiulian Chi,Andy Hector,Keping Ma,Stefan G. Michalski,Zhiyao Tang,Pascal A. Niklaus +8 more
TL;DR: Biodiversity Promotes Tree Growth during Succession in Subtropical Forest and the impact of climate-forest-forest interactions is studied.
