New publication from Roeder et al. in Journal of Ecology: Plant diversity effects on plant longevity and their relationships to population stability in experimental grasslands
Identifying to what degree inherent characteristics of plant species and their variation in response to their environment regulate the temporal stability of plant populations is important to understand patterns of…

New publication from Dietrich et al. in Ecology and Evolution: Plant history and soil history jointly influence the selection environment for plant species in a long‐term grassland biodiversity experiment
Long‐term biodiversity experiments have shown increasing strengths of biodiversity effects on plant productivity over time. However, little is known about rapid evolutionary processes in response to plant community diversity, which…

New publication from Wang et al. in Ecology: Biotic homogenization destabilizes ecosystem functioning by decreasing spatial asynchrony
Our planet is facing significant changes of biodiversity across spatial scales. Although the negative effects of local biodiversity (α diversity) loss on ecosystem stability are well documented, the consequences of…
