TL;DR: TRY as discussed by the authors is a global database of plant traits, including morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants and their organs, which can be used for a wide range of research from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology to biogeography.

TL;DR: The results from the Jena Experiment provide further evidence that diversity begets stability, for example stability against invasion of plant species, but unexpectedly some results also suggested the opposite, e.g. when plant communities experience severe perturbations or elevated resource availability.

TL;DR: The results suggest that HF and ND jointly determined species abundance by acting on contrasting niche dimensions, and the importance of considering independent dimensions of functional niche to better understand species abundance and coexistence within communities.

TL;DR: The new European research platform permits the most comprehensive assessment of tree species diversity effects on forest ecosystem functioning to date since it offers a common set of research plots to groups of researchers from very different disciplines and uses the same methodological approach in contrasting forest types along an extensive environmental gradient.

TL;DR: In this article, a multi-step computer vision algorithm segments and quantifies the percent of tree cover in street-scapes images to a high degree of precision, and then models the relationship between neighbouring images along city street segments.
