Yuhan Zou et al. demonstrates that #DisturbanceIntensity is a key driver of ecological restructuring in #Wetland ecosystems.

The growth of #RhododendronAureum and its precipitation sensitivity are more influenced by #Elevation, co-regulated by #SoilProperties and plant size traits in alpine tundra; Soil conditions and leaf economic traits influence temperature sensitivity.

Gianalberto Losapio et al. addressed the effects of #GlacierRetreat on plant functional diversity by integrating plant traits with ecological indicator values across a 140-year chronosequence in a subalpine glacier landscape.

💡 Ecological indicators predict functional diversity dynamics following #GlacierRetreat

Results:
Glacier retreat ➡️ Functional richness & functional dispersion ⬇️, functional evenness & functional divergence ⬆️
