The paper identifies a simple metric, self-regulation loss (SL), that predicts species stability in ecological communities despite their complexity.

The paper disentangles biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning by separating impacts on total biomass and effect trait expression using a novel decomposition framework applied to three ecosystem functions in grassland plants.

The paper investigates how spatial context influences the evolution of plant control over nitrification and its impact on ecosystem functioning.

The paper introduces a dynamic contribution metric to assess species' functional roles in ecosystems, showing that rare species can be crucial due to biotic interactions.

The paper investigates how niche construction and resource diffusion can lead to facilitative interactions between sessile organisms in spatial systems.
