Realistic species loss has little effect on local resource depletion and competitive pressure in a temperate wet meadow
1 INTRODUCTION Elton's hypothesis stipulates that communities of high diversity should demonstrate a high resistance to colonization due to strong competitive abilities against newcoming individuals (Elton, 1958). Usually, the competitive ability of diverse communities is expected to stem from the complementarity effect of diversity (Cardinale et al., 2007; Dee et al., 2023).
Disentangling Interspecific and Intraspecific Trait Variability of Carex Species Across Different Habitats
1 Introduction Intraspecific trait variability (ITV) is commonly used in studies of plant functional responses to environmental gradients and studies of community assembly rules (Siefert et al. 2015). In general, it is agreed upon that the majority of variability in plant functional traits is between species, but at the same time, it is accepted that ITV can be substantial and even accounts for one-third of overall trait variability (Garnier et al. 2001; Siefert et al. 2015).
Global impoverishment of natural vegetation revealed by dark diversity - Nature

Abstract Anthropogenic biodiversity decline threatens the functioning of ecosystems and the many benefits they provide to humanity1. As well as causing species losses in directly affected locations, human influence might also reduce biodiversity in relatively unmodified vegetation if far-reaching anthropogenic effects trigger local extinctions and hinder recolonization.

Plant diversity loss has limited effects on below‐ground biomass and traits but alters community short‐term root production in a species‐rich grassland
1 INTRODUCTION The interplay between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning is a central and long-standing question in ecology. According to biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF) experiments, frequently conducted on grassland communities, there is a general consensus about the positive association between biodiversity and productivity.
Resistance and Resilience of Species Composition: Thirty Years of Experimental Mismanagement and Subsequent Restoration in a Species Rich Meadow
1 Introduction Stability is one of the most studied properties of communities and ecosystems (Hautier et al. 2020). It has long been accepted (Pimm 1984) that ecological stability has different facets. The most commonly studied ones are constancy (reciprocal of variability, sometimes called invariability), which characterizes fluctuations “under normal conditions,” resistance, and resilience.
Closely related species differ in their traits, but competition induces high intra‐specific variability
1 INTRODUCTION The trait composition of plant communities is supposed to reflect their functionality, including their response to environmental variation and effect on ecosystem functions (Lavorel & Garnier, 2002). Selection of species from the species pool into a community (Švamberková & Lepš, 2020) is expected to follow assembly rules based on species traits (Götzenberger et al., 2012).
Evaluation of seed‐dispersal services by ants at a temperate pasture: Results of direct observations in an ant suppression experiment
1 INTRODUCTION Myrmecochory is a type of plant dispersal based on mutualism between ants and plants (Sernander, 1906). The ants are rewarded for seed dispersal of specialized plant species, that is, myrmecochores with an elaiosome, a nutritious appendage, particularly rich in amino acids in temperate conditions (Konečná, Moos, et al., 2018).
