DOI: 10.1007/s00442-018-4230-3
Abstract: Although trait-based processes of community assembly during secondary succession invokes multiple factors that ultimately determine the presence or absence of a species, little is known regarding the impacts of functional traits on species abundance in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10661-018-6964-0
Abstract: In most grassland ecosystems, the effects of mean temperature increase on plant communities have been investigated; however, the effects of climate fluctuations on local plant community metrics are much less well understood. We conducted a… read more here.
