Journal ArticleDOI

Beyond species: functional diversity and the maintenance of ecological processes and services

TL;DR: FD measures can explain variation in ecosystem function even when richness does not, and should be incorporated into conservation and restoration decision-making, especially for those efforts attempting to reconstruct or preserve healthy, functioning ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impacts of plant diversity on biomass production increase through time because of species complementarity

TL;DR: It is shown that although productive species do indeed contribute to diversity effects, these contributions are equaled or exceeded by species complementarity, where biomass is augmented by biological processes that involve multiple species.
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

Consequences of dominance: a review of evenness effects on local and regional ecosystem processes

TL;DR: A framework guiding the understanding of how dominance affects species interactions within communities, processes within ecosystems, and dynamics on regional scales is proposed and it is proposed that dominance affects regional species coexistence by altering metacommunity dynamics.
