TL;DR: The large ecological and societal consequences of changing biodiversity should be minimized to preserve options for future solutions to global environmental problems.

TL;DR: The magnitude of species-driven differences is much larger than previously thought and greater than climate-driven variation, and the decomposability of a species' litter is consistently correlated with that species' ecological strategy within different ecosystems globally, representing a new connection between whole plant carbon strategy and biogeochemical cycling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding the long-term effects of species invasions.
TL;DR: The ecological and evolutionary processes that modulate the effects of invasive species over time are described, and it is argued that such processes are so widespread and important that ecologists should adopt a long-term perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and glomalin in soil aggregation: comparing effects of five plant species
TL;DR: TheDirect effect of glomalin was much stronger than the direct effect of AMF hyphae themselves, suggesting that this protein is involved in a very important hypha-mediated mechanism of soil aggregate stabilization, at least for the 1–2-mm size class of aggregates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Matrix: A Conceptual Framework for Predicting Multiple Plant Effects on Ecosystem Processes
TL;DR: A new theoretical framework is presented, the functional matrix, which builds upon the functional group and single trait approaches to account for the ecosystem effects of multiple traits that vary independently from one another.
