Habitat restoration is increasingly undertaken in degraded streams and rivers to help improve biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Follow-up assess...

Acute outbreaks of pests and disease are increasingly affecting tree populations around the world, causing widespread ecological effects. In Britain, ...

Bees are a functionally important and economically valuable group, but are threatened by land-use conversion and intensification. Such pressures are n...

Phylogenies are increasingly incorporated into ecological studies on the basis that evolutionary relatedness broadly correlates with trait similarity....

Land-use change frequently reduces local species diversity. Species losses will often result in loss of trait diversity, with likely consequences for ...

Predicting restoration outcomes requires an understanding of the natural variability of ecosystem properties. A hierarchy of predictability has been p...

Geographic clines in life-history traits are often recognized as adaptations to the associated transitional environments. As life-history traits evolv...

The functional structure of plant communities can be altered by grazing through two main mechanisms: species turnover (i.e. changes in species occurre...

Forest dieback caused by drought-induced tree mortality has been observed world-wide. Forecasting which trees in which locations are vulnerable to dro...

Restoration of degraded plant communities requires understanding of community assembly processes. Human land use can influence plant community assembl...
