Global trade-offs in tree functional traits

D. S. Maynard, L. Bialic-Murphy, C. M. Zohner, C. Averill, J. van den Hoogen, H. Ma, L. Mo, G. R. Smith, I. Aubin, E. Berenguer, C. C. F. Boonman, J. Catford, B. E. L. Cerabolini, A. Dias, A. Gonzalez-Melo, , T. W. Crowther

The paper quantifies global trait variation in trees, identifying two independent processes and seven key traits that capture most variation in tree form and function.

Minding The Gap: Range Size And Economic Use Drive Functional Trait Data Shortfall In The Atlantic Forest

A. C. Petisco-Souza, F. T. Brum, V. Marcilio-Silva, V. P. Zwiener, A. Zanella, A. S. Dias, A. Gonzalez-Melo, S. Jansen, G. G. Mazzochini, U. Niinemets, V. D. Pillar, E. Sosinski, M. C. M. Marques, M. B. Carlucci

The paper identifies factors driving functional trait data gaps in the Atlantic Forest, finding larger gaps for small-ranged and economically used species, and in eastern regions away from urban areas.

How many and which species to plant? A multi-trait-based approach to select species to restore ecosystem services

P. K. Tsujii, A. G. Coutinho, A. M. Medina, N. J. B. Kraft, A. Gonzalez-Melo, P. Higuchi, S. C. Muller, U. Niinemets, V. D. Pillar, E. E. Sosinski, M. B. Carlucci

The paper develops an algorithm to select the minimum number of species for ecological restoration that maximizes functional richness and redundancy, enabling the restoration of multiple ecosystem services and resilience.

Loss of generalist plant species and functional diversity decreases the robustness of a seed dispersal network

V. A. G. Bastazini, V. J. Debastiani, B. O. Azambuja, P. R. Guimaraes, V. D. Pillar

The paper assesses how the loss of generalist plant species and functional diversity affects the robustness of a seed dispersal network in a grassland-forest mosaic.
