Trait diversity in plant communities maintained by competition for water and light
Ecological communities frequently exhibit remarkable taxonomic and trait diversity, and this diversity is consistently shown to regulate ecosystem function and resilience. However, ecologists lack a ...

We have a new paper out from our Powell Center C4 working group: "C4 photosynthesis, trait spectra, and the fast-efficient phenotype"
The @newphyt.bsky.social Tansley Review led by Russ Monson explores what we know about the C4 trait spectra

C4 photosynthesis, trait spectra, and the fast‐efficient phenotype
It has been 60 years since the discovery of C4 photosynthesis, an event that rewrote our understanding of plant adaptation, ecosystem responses to global change, and global food security. Despite six...

Something I’ve been thinking about recently is the hegemony of quantitative ecology. I’d love to see more qualitative work. More natural history, more philosophy of ecology, more nature-society theory.

Excited to share our recent article looking at the efficacy of grass litter removal for Southern California coastal sage scrub restoration. We find that litter removal increases several metrics of biodiversity but also promotes exotic forbs! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Litter removal increases plant diversity by promoting both native and exotic forbs in heavily invaded coastal sage scrub in Southern California, U.S.A.
Litter produced by exotic grasses is known to negatively impact native species through multiple mechanisms. While litter removal is a potential restoration tool to recover native species, the effects....
