Summary: Leaf functional traits (LFTs) of desert plants show significant geographical variations and are more influenced by environmental factors than phylogeny. Environmental variables explain higher spatial variations in LFTs compared to phylogeny. These findings provide valuable insights into the response of LFTs and plant adaptation along environmental gradients in drylands.

Summary: This study investigated the spatial patterns and seasonal dynamics of soil salinity in irrigated agro-ecosystems, as well as the driving factors behind these patterns. The results showed that water movement from deep layers to shallow layers resulted in an increase in soil salinity in the root zone and a decrease in the deep soil during the crop growing season. However, this trend was reversed during the fallow seasons. Crop types, groundwater table depth, and climate conditions played significant roles in the contribution of shallow groundwater to soil salinity.

Summary: The study reveals that different ways of quantifying invasiveness are correlated with different functional traits, and some plant traits have opposite effects across invasion metrics. Species' invasiveness is associated with different demographic dimensions such as spread rate, local abundance, and geographic and environmental range sizes, and these dimensions are better explained by different sets of traits.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of plant species on the abundance, diversity, and community structure of comammox Nitrospira. The findings revealed that plant species play a critical role in driving the distribution of comammox Nitrospira, with different plant species influencing different clades of comammox Nitrospira. Additionally, plant invasion can alter the community structure of comammox Nitrospira. Soil depth also has some influence on the community structure of comammox Nitrospira, although weaker than the effect of plant species.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the vertical distribution of seagrass species and their plant traits. The results show that the vertical distribution of seagrasses is mainly influenced by their acclimatization capacity, including saturation irradiance, leaves per shoot, and above-ground biomass. In contrast, seagrass size and growth/reproductive strategy have no predictive power on their vertical distribution.

Summary: This study finds that key functional traits influence the spatial patterns of individual species in annual, gypsophilous plant communities, and these effects are influenced by soil surface structure and climate conditions. Seedling populations exhibit clustered spatial patterns that persist in the adult stage, indicating that short-distance dispersal is an adaptive trait for soil specialists. The functional strategies of species are connected to the spatial distribution of plants, with certain traits being associated with clustered or random patterns.

Summary: Plant functional traits play a crucial role in determining plant performance and predicting species distributions along environmental gradients. This study in the Himalayas, Nepal, identified that multiple trade-offs in plant size, hydraulics, and light competitiveness affect species distribution along elevational gradients. Stem and branch traits, integrating multiple plant functions, were found to be better predictors of species' elevational distributions than leaf traits.

Summary: Plant-soil feedbacks and functional traits are influenced by life-history evolution, and are theoretically related. Faster-growing species with greater SLA, LNC, and SRL have more negative individual PSF values, supporting the growth-defence trade-off hypothesis. Plant height may be positively correlated with individual PSF, and larger-seeded species exhibit more positive or less negative PSF, likely reflecting greater tolerance of soil pathogens.

Summary: This study investigates the spatial-temporal evolution of soil salinization and dominant factors through spatial interpolation and statistical analysis in a closed hydrogeological unit in Gansu Province, China. The results show that the soil salt content, groundwater mineralization, and surface irrigated water amount increase slowly over time, while the groundwater buried depth decreases. The study also found that there is a positive correlation between soil salt content and groundwater mineralization, and a negative correlation with surface irrigated water amount or groundwater buried depth.

Summary: Leaf functional traits reflect plant adaptive strategies towards environmental heterogeneity. However, it remains unclear which factor plays a key role in the plasticity of leaf functional traits in desert hinterland oasis area. This study analyzed variations in leaf functional traits of Tamarix chinensis in different habitats, and found that abiotic factors, particularly groundwater depth and soil C: N stoichiometry, have vital influences on leaf functional traits. The study also revealed close relationships between leaf functional traits and biotic factors, such as the presence of Sophora alopecuroidies, which affects the nitrogen concentration of T. chinensis.

Summary: The whole-plant economics spectrum (PES) examines the trade-offs among various plant functional traits to provide insights into plant distributions, ecosystem processes, and evolution. By analyzing bark, wood, and leaf traits of subtropical woody species, significant correlations were found among the 25 functional traits, with N and P nutrient levels playing a central role in resource acquisition strategies for evergreen and deciduous species. Evergreen species tend to adopt conservative strategies, while deciduous species favor acquisitive strategies, influencing species biodiversity maintenance.

Summary: The study reveals that human activity significantly impacts the post-introduction dynamics of invasive species, leading to high genetic diversity and admixture of P. annua on Marion Island, while populations on unoccupied Prince Edward Island show low genetic diversity and structure. High genetic variation and admixture facilitated by human activity, coupled with high habitat suitability, suggest that P. annua is likely to increase its distribution and abundance in the future.

Summary: This study aims to derive null models for the expected number of species shared among multiple samples or habitat patches, exploring the geometric effects of subdivision on species diversity. Results show that the geometric effects of subdivision depend on patterns of spatial distribution of species and evenness of species abundance. Increasing subdivision decreases shared species, increases beta diversity, and results in higher total species richness in subdivided habitat. The models explain why fragmented habitat could have higher diversity than continuous habitat of equal area but predict a threshold patch-size.

Summary: The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) is a recognized global pattern of species richness. This study used high-resolution mapping and global forest inventory data to quantify the drivers of local tree species richness patterns across latitudes. The results showed that annual mean temperature was the dominant predictor of tree species richness, but in the tropics, high species richness was also influenced by local factors such as topography, soil, and human activity.

Summary: This study investigated the performance differences between the globally invasive ladybird Harmonia axyridis and the native co-occurring species Cheilomenes lunata. The results showed that H. axyridis had higher performance in terms of preoviposition period, fecundity, and adult emergence from pupae, while C. lunata had higher thermal plasticity and upper thermal tolerance. Despite initially higher performance during transport, H. axyridis had higher survival rates due to its higher fecundity and adaptability in all simulated environments.

Summary: The number of species shared between sites decreases as more sites are included in the comparison, with a rate dependent on the most widespread species. In over 80% of empirical communities, the decline in shared species follows either an exponential or power law form, which are largely untested and poorly understood. Simulation results show that the distribution of widespread species differentiates the two forms, with the power law form favored when such species occupy more than 75% of sites. Empirical data confirms that the form of multisite similarity decline can predict community structures and competitive interactions.
