This study compares absorptive and transport fine root traits in 25 European tree species and finds that absorptive root traits better explain tree growth than transport root traits.

The paper examines the relationship between evolutionary age and range size in species, finding that age correlates with larger ranges but this effect is modulated by insularity and dispersal ability.

The paper shows that land use intensity reduces species richness by decreasing niche differences, not competitive inequalities, and highlights the importance of stabilizing interactions for biodiversity.
