Wood density is a key plant functional trait which integrates the trade-offs characteristic to riparian plant ecological strategies. Although high-density wood is costly to construct, it confers mechanical stiffness to stems, increasing a plant'[...]

Metacommunity theory predicts that increasing patch size and patch connectivity can alter local species diversity by affecting either colonization rates, extinction rates or both. Although species' dispersal abilities or dispersal mode' (e.g. gr[...]

Traditionally, studies on vegetation succession have focused either on plant-plant interactions or on interactions between plants and their physical environment, for example through organic matter build-up and increased nutrient cycling. These i[...]

Plant-soil feedback (PSF) effects on plant performance strongly depend on the plant species that conditioned the soil. Recent studies have shown that PSF can change above-ground plant-insect interactions via soil-mediated changes in plant qualit[...]

Disturbance is an important driver of plant community structure in many grasslands and woodlands, and alteration of disturbance regimes can have large consequences for species richness and composition. However, the response of vegetation to dist[...]

Tropical montane forests house unusual and diverse biota and are considered highly vulnerable to climate change, particularly near the trade wind inversion (TWI) - the upper end of the cloud belt that defines tropical montane cloud forest (TMCF)[...]

Ecologists have long recognized that plant performance is affected by the density and composition of neighbouring individuals. With the advent of highly resolved species-level phylogenies, it has become possible to test whether such density-depe[...]

Invasive species are detrimental ecologically and economically. Their negative impacts in Africa are extensive and call for a renewed commitment to better understand the correlates of invasion success. Here, we explored several putative drivers [...]
