Understanding the mechanisms promoting resilience in plant communities is crucial in times of increasing disturbance and global environmental change. Here, we present the first meta-analysis evaluating the relationship between functional diversity and resilience of plant communities. Specifically, we tested whether the resilience of plant communities is positively correlated with interspecific trait variation (following the niche complementarity hypothesis) and the dominance of acquisitive and small-size species (following the mass ratio hypothesis), and for the context-dependent effects of ecological and methodological differences across studies.

没有普遍支持功能多样性增强陆地植物群落的恢复力


在干扰加剧和全球环境变化的时代，了解促进植物群落恢复能力的机制至关重要。在这里，我们提出了第一个评估植物群落功能多样性和恢复力之间关系的荟萃分析。具体来说，我们测试了植物群落的恢复力是否与种间性状变异（遵循生态位互补假说）以及收购性和小型物种的优势（遵循质量比假说）呈正相关，并测试了环境依赖性影响研究之间的生态学和方法学差异。
