Functional and phylogenetic diversity in plant communities are decoupled - check our new study just out in Nature Ecology & Evolution 🍃🍀🌸🍁🍂🌴🌳🌸🌼🪻#plants #vegetation #ecology #plantecology #communityassembly
🌳 New findings 🌳

Phylogenetic diversity cannot be used as a proxy for functional diversity in vascular plant communities 🌲🌳🌴🌵🌱🍀🌾🌼 We used the #sPlot database & found a pronounced decoupling between phylogenetic & functional diversity ⬇️

Global decoupling of functional and phylogenetic diversity in plant communities - Nature Ecology & Evolution
Functional diversity and phylogenetic diversity are expected to be positively correlated. Here the authors show that the covariation between these metrics in vascular plant communities around the worl...

Community Assemblies are a tool for building policy grounded in lived experience & collective vision. Each #CommunityAssembly is rooted in leadership of a trusted community-based organization or grassroots group with long-standing relationships and credibility. peopleseconomylab.org/how-three-co...

The field of #CommunityAssembly knows #PriorityEffects, but as we lose more and more species, how about the importance of species losses? Is it time for #InversePriorityEffects? ... Led by Agostina Torres.

Almost a 1000's followers in one week! that's crazy.

As we are all new here, maybe its time to present some of our research highligts of the recent years.

All is about #FunctionalTraits; #PlantDiversity; #CommunityAssembly; #EcosystemMultifunctionality ' 🧮➕📏 '

Are you curious about the whether soil microbial distribution is predictable?🤔

The key takeaway:
Bacteria 🦠→ predictable! 😊
Fungi & Protists 🍄💧 → harder to predict 😭

Presenting at #BOUatEOU 🦉 My talk explores tawny owl breeding success in Kielder Forest. With 40 years of data + field experiments, we find that food availability wins but pine marten colonisation is an emerging predictor of failure in owls.
