Journal of Plant Ecology This review synthesized existing evidence on how plant #functionaltraits and #functionaldiversity influence key #wetland #ecosystemfunctioning, such as productivity, carbon cycling and nutrient cycling. #restoration doi.org/10.1093/jpe/...
Diversity and Distributions 💧 Can reservoirs support #waterbird communities? A 20-year analysis across Spain finds higher functional diversity in #reservoirs than natural lakes, with piscivores and waders driving gains over time, highlighting their growing role in #conservation. 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/ddi....

Wendel van der Sluis 🌳 Two new OA articles, two fresh perspectives on wood anatomy – now published in the IAWA Journal. From #AI-powered growth ring detection to a closer look at how water moves through #Xylem, these studies show how new tools and approaches can reveal surprising details in wood structure and function.
