Nitrogen availability and plant functional composition modify biodiversity-multifunctionality relationships

This study shows that plant species richness and functional diversity increase multifunctionality, but their effects depend on nitrogen availability and functional composition.

Rare species perform worse than common species under changed climate

This study transplants rare and common plant species to different climates and finds rare species have lower survival and biomass under novel conditions, especially when precipitation differs from their natural range.

Context dependency of biotic interactions and its relation to plant rarity

The paper examines how biotic interactions influence plant rarity and commonness, finding that widespread species from resource-rich habitats are less defended against herbivores than those from resource-poor habitats, while rare species lack this tradeoff.
