Current theory (e.g., consumer-controlled theory) predicts that nutrient enrichment typically amplifies herbivory and thereby suppresses the growth an......
India has numerous invasive alien plant species (IAPSs), which seriously impact biodiversity, ecosystem services, and economic development. The availa......
Phosphorus (P) limitation is expected to increase due to nitrogen (N)-induced terrestrial eutrophication, although most soils contain large P pools im......
While cheating can cause the degradation or collapse of mutualisms, mutualisms may theoretically stabilize or strengthen if the cheating is mutual. He......
Species distribution models (SDMs) have been widely applied to predict geographic ranges of species across space and time under the assumption of nich......
Disturbance has long been recognized as a critical driver of species diversity in community ecology. Recently, it has been found that the well-known i......
Plant-soil feedback (PSF), regulated by both mycorrhizae and soil-borne pathogens, is a primary mechanism maintaining high tree species diversity in t......
Eutrophication is believed to promote plant invasion, resulting in high growth performances of invasive plants and, therefore, the great potential for......
The structure of interactions between species within a community plays a key role in maintaining biodiversity. Previous studies found that the effects......
A foundational assumption of trait-based ecology is that individual performances should be predicted by its functional traits. However, the trait-perf......
This data set collects capture-mark-recapture data, biometric data, and stomach contents of seven populations of the Italian cave salamander (Speleoma......
Biodiversity across multiple trophic levels is required to maintain multiple ecosystem functions. Yet it remains unclear how multitrophic diversity an......
Plant functional traits often show strong latitudinal trends. To explain these trends, studies have often focused on environmental variables, correlat......
