Climate‐change‐driven shifts in C <sub>3</sub> and C <sub>4</sub> grass distributions and leaf traits could lead to changes in community‐level flammability Open
Premise Climate change poses challenges to grasslands, including those of the North American Great Plains Region, where shifts in species distributions and fire dynamics are expected. Our present analysis focuses on remaining grasslands wi…

Neighbourhood diversity increases tree growth in experimental forests more in wetter climates but not in wetter years Open
Tree diversity often increases stand-level growth, but whether neighbourhood diversity effects on individual tree growth change with climatic conditions remains unclear. Here, using 852,170 records of 113,701 individuals from 129 species i…

Sex‐specific scaling of leaf phosphorus vs. nitrogen under unequal reproductive requirements in <i>Eurya japonica</i>, a dioecious plant Open
Premise Previous work searching for sexual dimorphism has largely relied on the comparison of trait mean vectors between sexes in dioecious plants. Whether trait scaling (i.e., the ratio of proportional changes in covarying traits) differs…

Diversity and identity of economics traits determine the extent of tree mixture effects on ecosystem productivity Open
Although both observational and experimental studies have shown that positive tree species diversity–productivity relationships are predominant in global forests, weak or the lack of tree species diversity and productivity relationships al…
