Abstract: To understand impacts of post-disturbance assembly mechanisms on the functional diversity (FD) of plant communities, it is necessary to determine how the environment drives their functional trait composition. In the boreal forest, post-fire abiotic filters… read more here.

Abstract: Plant taxa and traits do not necessarily show synchronous responses to ecological disturbance. Based on the observation that taxonomically over‐diversified communities might be phenotypically redundant, we speculated that taxonomic and phenotypic community reassembly might be… read more here.
