TL;DR: This paper conducted a meta-analysis of the relative extent of ITV within and among plant communities worldwide, using a data set encompassing 629 communities (plots) and 36 functional traits.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that forests with high tree diversity and biomass do not persist indefinitely in the long-term absence of catastrophic disturbance, and that similar patterns occur across the boreal, temperate and subtropical zones.

TL;DR: The results show that, contrary to several claims in the literature, biological N2 fixation is not only important in early- successional ecosystems but also in late-successional systems that have undergone retrogression.

TL;DR: In the long-term absence of major disturbances, ecosystems may enter a stage of retrogression, which is characterized by decreased ecosystem process rates both above and belowground, and often reduced availability of phosphorus (P) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the availability of P is largely driven by soil characteristics, e.g., pH, organic carbon, and abundance of P-sorbing elements such as aluminium (Al) or iron (Fe).
