Plant traits and community composition drive the assembly ...

We found that plant functional traits and composition played more critical roles in shaping the assembly processes of rare fungi than those of abundant fungi.

Plant traits and community composition drive the assembly ...

Meanwhile, the relative strength of different assembly processes differed significantly among four vegetation types. In addition, we found that ...

Drivers of plant diversity, community composition, functional traits ...

... driving functional trait-mediated community assembly processes. We tested the hypothesis that plant community assembly a …

Plant traits and community composition drive the assembly ... - OUCI

The difference in community assembly mechanisms between rare and abundant fungi in deserts remains unknown. Hence, we compared the distribution patterns of ...

Drivers of plant diversity, community composition, functional traits ...

We tested the hypothesis that plant community assembly along a climatic and elevation gradient is influenced by shifts in habitat suitability, which drive plant ...

Interspecific trait differences drive plant community responses on ...

We investigated the adaptive value and the community level changes for each trait along the natural soil Ni gradient using a mixed model ...

The intrinsic dimensionality of plant traits and its relevance to ...

Recent analyses indicate that the ability to predict community composition increases rapidly with additional traits, but reaches a plateau after ...

Plant and soil traits driving soil fungal community due to tree ...

However, the roles of plant and soil traits in shaping soil fungal community are still largely unknown recently. On the one hand, plant traits, ...

The influence of plant traits on soil microbial communities varies ...

Both soil properties and plant traits shape the diversity, composition and functions of plant-associated soil microbial communities. However, ...

Predicting ecosystem productivity based on plant community traits

The TBP framework takes an emergent perspective considering the ecosystem as a whole, in which individual plant traits scale up to community-scale 'traits' that ...

Non-native plants consistently drive changes in functional traits of ...

Across ecoregions, researchers found that plant communities with a higher abundance of nonnative species were shorter and shallower, and ...

Plant traits and taxonomy drive host associations in tropical ...

Host plant taxonomic identity explained more than half of the variation in fungal community composition across trees, and numerous host functional traits ...

Functional trait variation and community-weighted means of tree ...

The interactions between plant diversity and the soil microbial community are crucial for maintaining multiple ecosystem functions.

Naturalized species drive functional trait shifts in plant communities

Our results demonstrate that shifts in functional composition stemming from trait differences between native and naturalized species are ...

Changes in plant community composition, not diversity ... - USDA ARS

An addi- tional key trait is the dependence of some plants, particularly. C4 grasses, on mycorrhizal fungi (Wilson & Hartnett 1997), which aid in N and ...

Can plant functional traits explain shifts in community composition in ...

The link between performance and ecosystem function has led to an increase in studies focusing on plant functional traits as a way to study vegetation responses ...

The influence of plant traits on soil microbial communities varies ...

Methods To address this gap, we compared the diversity and composition of soil microbial communities associated with co-occurring C3 and C4 ...

Root traits explain rhizosphere fungal community composition ...

Here, we examined the roles of plant species identity, phylogeny and functional traits in shaping rhizosphere fungal communities and tested the ...

using plant functional traits to understand ecological processes

By contrast, if we are interested in ecosystem consequences of plant community composition, capturing the mean and variance of trait values at the species level ...

Changes in plant community composition, not diversity, during a ...

The changes in the plant community were driven by decreased abundance of C4 grasses, perhaps in response to altered interactions with ...
