The hierarchy of predictability in ecological restoration: are vegetation structure and functional diversity more predictable than community composition?
Daniel C. Laughlin,Daniel C. Laughlin,Robert T. Strahan,Margaret M. Moore,Peter Z. Fulé,David W. Huffman,W. Wallace Covington +6 more
TL;DR: The hierarchy of predictability should be tested in a range of ecosystems to determine its generality, and trait-based metrics that integrate taxonomic composition into their calculation are less variable and potentially more meaningful for evaluating ecosystem responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival rates indicate that correlations between community-weighted mean traits and environments can be unreliable estimates of the adaptive value of traits.
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of community-weighted mean (CWM) traits and environmental gradients on survival of 46 perennial species from long-term permanent plots in pine forests of Arizona.
Journal ArticleDOI
Invasive species' leaf traits and dissimilarity from natives shape their impact on nitrogen cycling: a meta-analysis
Marissa R. Lee,Emily S. Bernhardt,Peter M. van Bodegom,J. Hans C. Cornelissen,Jens Kattge,Daniel C. Laughlin,Ülo Niinemets,Josep Peñuelas,Peter B. Reich,Peter B. Reich,Benjamin Yguel,Benjamin Yguel,Justin P. Wright +12 more
TL;DR: A global meta-analysis to determine whether plant leaf and litter functional traits, and particularly leaf and nitrogen content and carbon: nitrogen ratio, explain variation in invasive species' impacts on soil N cycling found it to be the case.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing Targets for the Restoration of Herbaceous Vegetation in Ponderosa Pine Forests
Daniel C. Laughlin,Margaret M. Moore,Jonathan D. Bakker,Cheryl A. Casey,Judith D. Springer,Peter Z. Fulé,W. Wallace Covington +6 more
TL;DR: Evaluated the success of a restoration project in its 11th year since treatment in a southwestern ponderosa pine–bunchgrass community and the appropriateness of several targets, suggesting that it is unrealistic to expect equal responses across all patch types.

TL;DR: The results indicate that including intraspecific trait variability will contribute to a better understanding of the processes driving patterns of functional niche occupancy across plant communities and coexisting species tend to be more functionally similar rather than more functionally specialized.
