Increased nutrient inputs due to anthropogenic activity are expected to increase primary productivity across terrestrial ecosystems, but changes in allocation aboveground versus belowground with nutrient addition have different implications...

Microorganisms can help plants and animals contend with abiotic stressors, but why they provide such benefits remains unclear. Here we investigated byproduct benefits, which occur when traits that increase the fitness of one species provide...

Phenological distributions are characterized by their central tendency, breadth, and shape, and all three determine the extent to which interacting species overlap in time. Pollination mutualisms rely on temporal co-occurrence of pollinator...
Functional traits' annual variation exceeds nitrogen-driven variation in grassland plant species [0.03%]
功能特征的年度变化超过了氮作用引起的草地植物物种变化

Effective application of functional trait approaches to ecological questions requires understanding the patterns of trait variation within species as well as between them. However, few studies address the potential for intraspecific variati...
Reintroduced megaherbivores indirectly shape small-mammal responses to moonlight [0.03%]
大型 herbivore 对月光下小型哺乳动物反应的间接影响

Moonlight structures activity patterns of many nocturnal species. Bright moonlight often limits the activity of nocturnal prey, but dense vegetation weakens this effect. Using 8 years of live-trapping data, we asked whether reintroduced meg...
Species portfolio effects dominate seasonal zooplankton stabilization within a large temperate lake [0.03%]
物种组合效应主导大型温带湖泊内全年浮游动物的稳定化效应

Portfolio effects (PEs) in ecology refer to the suite of phenomenon where the temporal variation of aggregate ecosystem properties (i.e., abundance) is lower than that of their ecosystem components. An example of this is where differential ...
Short-term plant-soil feedback experiment fails to predict outcome of competition observed in long-term field experiment [0.03%]
短期植物-土壤反馈实验无法预测长期田间试验中观察到的竞争结果

Mounting evidence suggests that plant-soil feedbacks (PSF) may determine plant community structure. However, we still have a poor understanding of how predictions from short-term PSF experiments compare with outcomes of long-term field expe...

Disorder or a new order: How climate change affects phenological variability [0.03%]
错乱还是新秩序:气候变化如何影响物候变异
Michael Stemkovski,James R Bell,Elizabeth R Ellwood et al.
Michael Stemkovski et al.
Advancing spring phenology is a well documented consequence of anthropogenic climate change, but it is not well understood how climate change will affect the variability of phenology year to year. Species' phenological timings reflect the a...
