Can frequent mowing counteract the negative effect of multiple nutrients on plant diversity?

Cecilia Molina discusses her recently published Journal of Ecology article: Mowing does not redress the negative effect of nutrient addition on alpha and beta diversity in a temperate grassland. Find out more about the mechanisms driving diversity loss in a temperate grassland. Temperate grasslands are one of the major and most modified vegetation types in…

How does resource addition affect the assembly trajectories of plant communities?

Author Qianna Xu provides further insights for their new research article, which explores the impacts of nitrogen and water levels on plant community composition. Recently published in Journal of Ecology, Volume 107 Issue 5. This article is part of our latest Special Feature: Is Phylogenetic and Functional Trait Diversity a Driver or a Consequence of…
