This study shows the xylem safety-efficiency trade-off is not universal, emerging only in specific ecological and evolutionary contexts.

The paper integrates belowground plant traits to show persistence strategies are a critical dimension of plant function beyond resource acquisition and exploration.

The paper measures leaf and fine-root traits across 90 tree species to assess coordination between above- and below-ground traits and resource strategies.

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 shows that plant species richness and root economics space axes influence soil fungal community composition in a grassland experiment.

The study shows that soil history has a greater impact than plant history on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community assembly in a grassland diversity experiment.
