<h2>1 INTRODUCTION</h2><p>Global surface temperatures have risen by approximately 1.2°C since 1850 (NOAA, <span>2020</span>) and are projected to increase by an additional 2.2°C by 2100 (Lyon et al., <span>2022</span>). Climate warming can impact the fitness and distribution of plants by altering root morphology, symbiosis and nutrient acquisition strategies (Arndal et al., <span>2013</span>; Dukes et al., <span>2005</span>; Liu et al., <span>2013</span>; Meza-Lopez & Siemann, <span>2017</span>; Nijs et al., <span>1996</span>; Olsrud et al., <span>2010</span>; Qiu et al., <span>2021</span>; Rillig et al., <span>2002</span>; Wertin et al., <span>2017</span>; Zhou et al., <span>2022</span>). Alongside climate-induced abiotic stresses, plants face biotic stresses, such as herbivory, pathogen infection and parasitism by other plants (Albornoz et al., <span>2017</span>; Bardgett et al., <span>2006</span>; Sentis et al., <span>2020</span>). Although the effects of climate change on herbivores and pathogens have been studied (Laughton et al., <span>2017</span>; Lemoine et al., <span>2017</span>), its impact on the interactions between host plants and parasites remains less understood.</p><p>Parasitic plants often cause serious damage to host plants by directly extracting nutrients from the host or indirectly reducing the host's nutrient acquisition capabilities (Yuan et al., <span>2021</span>; Yuan, Gao, et al., <span>2023</span>; Yuan & Li, <span>2022</span>). To enhance nutrient uptake, plants have evolved various strategies involving different root functional traits (Carmona et al., <span>2021</span>; Wang et al., <span>2023</span>). First, to increase nutrient foraging efficiency and uptake, plants can grow longer and thinner roots, resulting in a higher specific root length (SRL) and specific root area (SRA), and a lower root diameter (RD). Symbiotic relationship with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) further enhances nutrient extraction from the soil (Yaffar et al., <span>2022</span>). Second, to increase the nutrient uptake rate, plants can decrease root construction costs by having a lower root tissue density (RTD) and increase the metabolic rate by having a higher root nitrogen content (Bergmann et al., <span>2020</span>; Ding et al., <span>2023</span>; Wang et al., <span>2023</span>). Enzymatic activities, such as acid phosphatase (APase) release, also play a role in nutrient availability by enhancing organic matter mineralization (Bi et al., <span>2023</span>). Measuring the root functional traits of plants under different environmental conditions may help to predict how plant performance will respond to environmental change.</p><p>To better understand the relationships among root functional traits and to predict root responses to environmental changes, ecologists have recently used multiple root traits to define the ‘root economics space’ (Bi et al., <span>2023</span>; Ding et al., <span>2023</span>; Han et al., <span>2022</span>
(2021 年)发现,气候变暖增加了大豆(Glycine max)的 AMF 定殖和 RTD,同时降低了 SRL。这些结果表明,为了应对气候变暖,大豆可能会在根系经济学空间中转向 "外包 "和 "缓慢 "策略。最近,物种分布模型预测,到 2070 年,气候变暖可能会使大豆与其主要害虫之一--菟丝子属寄生植物--之间的潜在生态位重叠增加多达六倍(Cai 等人,2022 年;Shao,1990 年)。寄生植物会强烈抑制寄主植物的生长,并减少寄主植物对地下结构的碳分配(Yuan,Gao,et al.,2023;Yuan &amp; Li,2022;Yuan,Lin,et al.,2023)。例如,我们之前的一项研究表明,菟丝子寄生会减少根系生长和 AMF 在 Bidens pilosa 中的定殖,同时增加氮和磷的浓度(Yuan, Lin, et al.)如果大豆的情况也是如此,寄生虫可能会导致大豆在根系经济学空间中转向 "自己动手 "和 "快速 "策略。为了检验大豆的根系功能特性及其在根系经济空间中的位置是否受到气候变暖和菟丝子寄生的影响,我们在室外进行了一个因子盆栽实验。在寄主植物上,我们测量了根鞘中的SRL、SRA、RD、根氮浓度(RN)、RTD、AMF定殖率(MC)、根瘤生物量(NB)和AP酶活性。我们描述了这些根系性状之间的关系以及大豆植株沿根系经济学空间轴线的位置随气候变暖和寄生现象而发生的变化。我们的假设是:(i) AMF 和根瘤菌的定殖与根系经济学空间中的 "外包 "策略呈正相关;(ii) 气候变暖将通过增加 AMF 和根瘤菌的定殖使大豆植株从 "自己动手 "策略转变为 "外包 "策略,并通过产生具有较高 RTD 和较低 RN 的根系使养分获取策略从 "快 "转变为 "慢";(iii) 寄生虫会减少 AMF 和根瘤菌的定殖,从而使大豆植物从 "外包 "战略转向 "自己动手 "战略,并通过产生较低 RTD 和较高 RN 的根系,使大豆植物从 "慢 "战略转向 "快 "战略;以及 (iv) 当植物同时受到变暖和寄生虫的影响时,它们各自对根系特征的影响将相互中和。

<h2>1 INTRODUCTION</h2><p>Vision plays a central role in the ecology of many organisms, shaping the outcomes of their interactions with each other and the environment (e.g. predator–prey; host–parasite). The evolution of visual systems is impacted by variation in visual traits (e.g. coloration; Endler et al., <span>2005</span>), which can have signalling roles but which may also have <i>non-signalling functions</i> that have significant and synergistic effects (Koneru & Caro, <span>2022</span>). Importantly, animal coloration, which derives from diverse pigments and structures and is shaped by numerous biotic and abiotic factors, occurs in both integumentary structures (i.e. skin, fur, feathers, beaks, scales and shells), and non-integumentary structures (i.e. inner organs and blood; Hill & McGraw, <span>2006</span>). Because integumentary structures are the component that interacts directly with the environment, this is the tissue that is most likely to have an impact on the evolution of visual systems and is thus the focus of this perspective. To date, substantial progress has been made on our understanding of how organisms detect visual cues including the precise estimations of colour vision and visual capabilities (e.g. Maia et al., <span>2019</span>; van den Berg et al., <span>2020</span>; Vorobyev & Osorio, <span>1998</span>) and how specific visual systems may be influenced by their environments (e.g. Endler, <span>1992</span>; Härer et al., <span>2018</span>; Leal & Fleishman, <span>2002</span>). However, given the range of pigmented integumentary tissues that occur in nature (Figure 1), there is still much to learn about the non-visual functional significance of these pigments and how they may subsequently influence visual systems, particularly as global change alters selective landscapes (Koneru & Caro, <span>2022</span>; Rojas, <span>2016</span>).</p><figure><picture><source media="(min-width: 1650px)" srcset="/cms/asset/94a9c412-9249-4738-af22-4d7536a95a5b/fec14656-fig-0001-m.jpg"/><img alt="Details are in the caption following the image" data-lg-src="/cms/asset/94a9c412-9249-4738-af22-4d7536a95a5b/fec14656-fig-0001-m.jpg" loading="lazy" src="/cms/asset/8f3c678a-dc9e-4d42-a7f2-aa2c9bbe2ad9/fec14656-fig-0001-m.png" title="Details are in the caption following the image"/></picture><figcaption><div><strong>FIGURE 1<span style="font-weight:normal"></span></strong><div>Open in figure viewer<i aria-hidden="true"></i><span>PowerPoint</span></div></div><div>Pigments are used to make the wide variety of animal coloration displayed here.

相比之下,环境变化对具有抗氧化、支持和物理保护等功能的色素的影响虽然与动物的适应性和生存有关,但却很少被考虑。许多色素的生理学特性、复杂性和功能模糊性往往阻碍了进化生态学家将这些信息纳入着色研究。在这篇观点文章中,我们认为在预测物种对全球变化的反应以及随后对视觉系统的影响时,有必要考虑色素本身的多种功能,因为色素的功能意义将决定选择影响哪些性状(图 2)。尽管过去的研究偏重于视觉适应性信号,但重要的是要承认,在生物体对全球变化的反应中,可能还有许多未知的非视觉作用和色素的协同效应。颜色可由色素(特定生物分子)、结构(可反射不同波长光线的组织)或二者结合形成。当颜色用于交流、伪装或体温调节时,选择就会作用于色素;当色素用于抗氧化、解毒、结构支持或保护时,选择就会直接作用于色素。改良剂可能会改变对任一性状或两种性状的选择压力的强度和方向。生物体颜色的变化将影响生态系统的颜色性状分布,这也可能对生态系统内物种(目标接收者、捕食者等)的视觉系统产生影响。为了弥补我们对色素和着色的功能及其在全球变化(指任何由人类引起的环境变化)情况下对视觉系统的影响的认识上的差距,我们将:(1)总结色素在整体中的主要功能,重点是非视觉作用;(2)概述全球变化如何影响着色和色素沉着;(3)讨论色素功能之间的一些已知调节因素及其与全球变化的相互作用;(4)将这些颜色特征的变化与随后可能发生的视觉系统进化联系起来。虽然结构元素和色素都有助于动物着色(图 2),但我们在此重点讨论色素。在本视角中,我们将重点举例说明着色研究中令人兴奋的方向,并在可能的情况下为读者提供有用和有见地的综述。

<h2>1 INTRODUCTION</h2><p>Anthropogenic climate change in the Amazon has led to a significant rise in mean air temperatures as well as the frequency, intensity and duration of heatwaves (Costa et al., <span>2022</span>; de Barros Soares et al., <span>2017</span>). These changes are concerning, as tropical plants are particularly sensitive to heatwaves (Doughty et al., <span>2023</span>; Kitudom et al., <span>2022</span>). This vulnerability may arise from tropical plants having evolved under relatively stable climate conditions that have promoted the evolution of thermal specialists (Cunningham & Read, <span>2003</span>; Janzen, <span>1967</span>; Kullberg & Feeley, <span>2022</span>; Perez et al., <span>2016</span>). Moreover, given their long lifespans and generation times, it is highly unlikely that most tropical tree species will be able to respond to climate change through evolutionary adaptation or migration to more suitable habitats (Feeley et al., <span>2023</span>; Wang et al., <span>2023</span>). It is therefore imperative to investigate the ability of individual tropical trees to acclimate to rapid changes in temperature through acclimation.</p><p>Photosynthetic thermal tolerance may be especially pertinent for understanding the rapid acclimation of plants to extreme temperature events and is defined as a high-temperature threshold beyond which the functioning of Photosystem II—one of the more thermally sensitive components of the photosynthetic apparatus—is impaired (Berry & Björkman, <span>1980</span>). In addition, thermal tolerance has recently been associated, albeit weakly, with permanent leaf damage (Zhang et al., <span>2024</span>) and thus is a potential mechanism through which rising temperatures may lead to increased tree mortality and cause forest dieback (Doughty et al., <span>2023</span>). Importantly, photosynthetic thermal tolerance tends to be more plastic than many other leaf traits that are related to leaf temperature (e.g. morphoanatomical traits) because it is related to leaf biochemistry and gene regulation and can therefore change in response to abiotic conditions within the lifespan of a single leaf (Perez & Feeley, <span>2021</span>; Zhu et al., <span>2018</span>). Indeed, there are various mechanisms governing photosynthetic thermal tolerance (Geange et al., <span>2020</span>), including membrane content of saturated fatty acids (Zhu et al., <span>2018</span>), heat shock protein expression and content (Barua & Heckathorn, <span>2006</span>; Chen et al., <span>2018</span>), production of zeaxanthin (Demmig et al., <span>1987</span>; Demmig-Adams, <span>1998</span>), synthesis of antioxidants (Gill & Tuteja, <span>2010</span>), and content of plant hormones such as abscisic acid and brassinosteroid (Li et al., <span>2021</span>). This polygenic trait plays a critical role in conferring resistance in plants to increasingly frequent and intense heatwaves (Doughty et al., <span>2023</span
我们的具体研究问题是(1) 六种重点物种的植物个体在不同季节是否会适应其热耐受性?根据之前在沸腾河观察到的种内温度调节特征和热耐受性对总体生长温度的不同反应(Kullberg 等人,2024 年),我们假设在温度调节方面可塑性更强的物种也将表现出更强的提高热耐受性的能力。(2) 耐热性适应的程度是否与最高气温(ΔTmax)的微地级季节差异的程度有关?我们预计,叶片温度与气温密切相关的物种,其适应反应应取决于 ΔTmax 的大小,而叶片温度受太阳辐射等其他因素影响较大的物种,其适应反应与 ΔTmax 的大小关系不大或没有关系。了解亚马逊植物物种适应温度变化的能力将提高我们预测气候变化对热带森林影响的能力。

生物多样性的丧失和物种群落的人为改变正在影响疾病突发事件的频率和规模。这些变化可能与生物多样性增加(扩大)或减少(稀释)疾病流行的机制有关。生物多样性的影响可能是直接的,即有能力的宿主之间的接触被与汇宿主的接触所取代;也可能是间接的,即通过对宿主丰度的调节。在这里,我们引入了一个多宿主分区疾病模型,根据宿主的进化相关性对宿主的能力进行加权。我们的模型模拟了具有替代性和相加性装配模式的宿主群落以及频率和密度依赖性病原体传播模式,并据此估计了群落疾病爆发的可能性。模拟结果表明,即使物种丰富度不变,系统发育结构的差异也能使宿主群落从稀释疾病转变为扩大疾病。此外,我们还表明,系统发育稀释可以与通过物种丰富度实现的(典型)放大同时发生。我们利用描述宿主之间系统发育距离与疾病共享可能性之间关系的经验数据来说明我们的模型。我们的研究证明了宿主的进化史是如何通过系统发育稀释效应驱动疾病动态的。在期刊博客上免费阅读本文的通俗摘要。

Decreasing returns in resource acquisition ability with increasing leaf mass investment is called ‘diminishing returns’, which provides important insights into plant economy. Yet, whether this is true for fine roots and how root resource acquisition strategies change with forest succession remain unclear. We investigated the scaling relationship between fine‐root length (L) and mass (M) for 215 topsoil cores from 24 plots across four successional stages in tropical forests of Xishuangbanna, southwestern China. We also assessed the relative effects of edaphic conditions, leaf functional traits, tree species diversity and soil fungal factors on L versus M scaling relationship using hierarchical variation partitioning. Our results revealed the existence of diminishing returns in root length (L vs. M scaling exponent <1), and that the exponent was higher in late‐ than early‐successional forests, corresponding to a strategy shifting from ‘do‐it‐yourself’ in the late‐successional stage to ‘outsourcing’ resource uptake by soil fungi in the early‐successional stage. Soil fungal abundance was the main driver of changes in the L versus M scaling exponent across plots (explained 58% of variances), with root endophytic fungi the strongest predictor (22.11%), followed by mycorrhizal fungi (10.41%), while other factors (leaf functional traits, edaphic nutrient conditions and tree species diversity) exerted weak effects. Our results suggest that root endophytic and mycorrhizal fungi act as key modulators of root economy changes during forest succession, but the former has received less attention previously. L versus M scaling exponent may be a better indicator for shifts in root resource acquisition strategy than the commonly used specific root length.

随着叶片质量投入的增加,资源获取能力的收益会逐渐降低,这就是所谓的 "收益递减",它为植物经济提供了重要的启示。然而,细根是否也存在这种情况,以及根系获取资源的策略如何随着森林演替而变化,目前仍不清楚。我们研究了中国西南部西双版纳热带雨林四个演替阶段 24 个地块 215 个表土核心的细根长度(L)和质量(M)之间的比例关系。我们还利用层次变异分配法评估了土壤条件、叶片功能特征、树种多样性和土壤真菌因素对长度与质量比例关系的相对影响。我们的研究结果表明,根系长度的收益递减(L vs. M比例指数<1)在晚演替森林中高于早演替森林,这与晚演替阶段的 "自己动手 "策略转变为早演替阶段土壤真菌的 "外包 "资源吸收策略相对应。土壤真菌丰度是各地块L与M比例指数变化的主要驱动因素(解释了58%的变异),其中根内生真菌是最强的预测因子(22.11%),其次是菌根真菌(10.41%),而其他因子(叶片功能特征、土壤养分条件和树种多样性)的影响较弱。我们的研究结果表明,根内生真菌和菌根真菌是森林演替过程中根系经济变化的关键调节因子,但前者以前较少受到关注。与常用的比根长度相比,L 与 M 的比例指数可能是根系资源获取策略变化的更好指标。在期刊博客上免费阅读本文的通俗摘要。

Plant phosphorus (P) acquisition strategy is considered to be an intrinsic driver behind plant succession. However, variations in plant P acquisition strategies in connection to soil P fraction changes after wetland drainage remain unclear. To address this issue, here we conducted a study in six distinct wetlands that experienced long‐term (>20 years) artificial drainage, with the adjacent waterlogged wetlands as a control. We analysed plant community composition, biomass and soil P fractions, and identified three plant P acquisition strategies based on soil acid phosphatase activity, plant P resorption efficiency, and soil arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) content. We found that soil calcium‐bound P (PCa) and enzyme‐extractable P (Penzyme) were key factors influencing plant P acquisition. Soil PCa correlated negatively with acid phosphatase activity but positively with AMF content. Soil Penzyme negatively impacted P resorption efficiency. The wetlands were categorised into three types based on the change in plant richness and composition, with each exhibiting distinct plant P acquisition strategies. These changes in strategies after drainage corresponded with shifts in soil P fractions. Overall, our study highlights the role of soil P fractions in explaining plant P acquisition strategies after wetland drainage, suggesting P regulations on plant succession and ecosystem services.

植物磷(P)获取策略被认为是植物演替的内在驱动力。然而,植物磷获取策略的变化与湿地排水后土壤磷含量变化的关系仍不清楚。为了解决这个问题,我们在六个经历了长期(20 年)人工排水的不同湿地进行了研究,并以邻近的积水湿地作为对照。我们分析了植物群落组成、生物量和土壤钾组分,并根据土壤酸性磷酸酶活性、植物对钾的吸收效率和土壤丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)含量确定了三种植物钾获取策略。我们发现,土壤钙结合钾(PCa)和酶提取钾(Penzyme)是影响植物钾获取的关键因素。土壤钙结合钾与酸性磷酸酶活性呈负相关,但与 AMF 含量呈正相关。土壤酵素对钾吸收效率有负面影响。根据植物丰富度和组成的变化,湿地被分为三种类型,每种类型都表现出不同的植物钾获取策略。排水后这些策略的变化与土壤钾组分的变化相对应。总之,我们的研究强调了土壤钾组分在解释湿地排水后植物钾获取策略中的作用,表明了钾对植物演替和生态系统服务的调节作用。在期刊博客上免费阅读本文的通俗摘要。

Host‐associated microbiomes are thought to play a key role in host physiology and fitness, but this conclusion mainly derives from systems biased towards animal models and humans. While many studies on non‐model and wild animals have characterised the taxonomic diversity of their microbiomes, few have investigated the functional potential of these microbial communities. Functional ‘omics’ approaches, such as metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and metabolomics, represent promising techniques to probe the significance of host‐associated microbiomes in the wild. In this review, we propose to (1) briefly define the main available functional omics tools along with their strengths and limitations, (2) summarise the key advances enabled by omics tools to understand microbiome function in human and animal models, (3) showcase examples of how these methods have already brought invaluable insights into wild host microbiomes and (4) provide guidelines on how to implement these tools to address outstanding questions in the field of wild animal microbiomes. To conclude, we suggest that, building on knowledge derived from cheaper, more traditional approaches (e.g. 16S metabarcoding and qPCR), functional omics tools represent a promising approach to test hypotheses regarding the ecological and evolutionary significance of the resident microbiota in wild animals.

宿主相关微生物群被认为在宿主的生理和健康方面发挥着关键作用,但这一结论主要来自偏重于动物模型和人类的系统。虽然许多关于非模型动物和野生动物的研究都描述了其微生物组的分类多样性,但很少有研究对这些微生物群落的功能潜力进行调查。元基因组学、元转录组学和代谢组学等功能性 "omics "方法是探索野生宿主相关微生物组意义的有前途的技术。在本综述中,我们建议:(1) 简要定义现有的主要功能组学工具及其优势和局限性;(2) 总结组学工具在了解人类和动物模型微生物组功能方面取得的主要进展;(3) 举例说明这些方法如何为野生宿主微生物组带来了宝贵的见解;(4) 就如何利用这些工具解决野生动物微生物组领域的未决问题提供指导。最后,我们建议,在从更便宜、更传统的方法(如 16S 代谢编码和 qPCR)中获得的知识基础上,功能性 omics 工具是一种很有前途的方法,可用于检验有关野生动物常驻微生物群的生态和进化意义的假设。在期刊博客上免费阅读本文的通俗摘要。

豆科植物是全球旱地生态系统中不可或缺的植物,因为它们能增加氮的供应量,因此了解豆科植物对改进气候变化方面的知识和建模至关重要。这项工作研究了索诺拉沙漠生态系统中共生豆科植物和非豆科植物在资源利用效率方面的差异及其与光合作用、光化学、生物元素和化学计量学特征之间的关系。我们发现,豆科植物具有更高的光合速率、内在和季节性水分利用效率(WUE)、磷利用效率(PPUE),以及由叶绿素含量和活性反应中心介导的更高的光利用率,这可能会提高它们的光保护能力。豆科植物可以提高其WUE和PPUE,而氮利用效率(PNUE)没有变化。因此,在这些豆科植物中观察到的研究性状之间的性状关系与研究中的非豆科物种有显著差异。在某些情况下,化学计量有助于作为养分利用效率的指标,并实现功能群的区分。我们的研究结果将豆科植物较高的资源利用效率与其在旱地生态系统中的成功紧密联系起来。在期刊博客上免费阅读本文的通俗摘要。

Environmental and ecological drivers of eye size variation in a freshwater predator: A trade‐off between foraging and predation risk 淡水掠食者眼睛大小变化的环境和生态驱动因素:觅食与捕食风险之间的权衡

Variations in the size and shape of the eye have been observed in many species of fish. As eye size is positively related to visual acuity, larger eyes should favour foraging and detection of predators. However, few studies have examined the variation in eye morphology in relation to the complexity of lake conditions, including environmental perturbation and spatial variation in predation and competition. Such tests are especially important as the degrading of the visual climate is expected due to climate change, where browning, turbidity and variations in structural complexity should set different demands for visual acuity of foraging fish under predation risk. In this study, we tested the variation of the eye size among 667 individuals of an aquatic predator perch, Perca fluviatilis, from littoral and pelagic habitats of 14 lakes. We used Secchi depth to assess the effects of the visual climate of our lake systems, as fish foraging is highly related to visual conditions, and studied eye size variation in relation to the contribution of the pelagic resources to an individual's diet and the risk of predation. Secchi depth, the pelagic contribution to the diet and the percentage of piscivores had significant effects on eye size. These variable outcomes suggest that the lake environment in terms of visual climate, predation landscape and diet are major factors of eye size variation in this generalist predator. As many fish species trade off foraging against predation risk, future studies will show whether the complexity of intra‐ and interspecific interactions contribute to the variation in eye size in freshwater fish.

在许多鱼类物种中都观察到眼睛大小和形状的变化。由于眼睛大小与视觉敏锐度呈正相关,较大的眼睛应有利于觅食和发现捕食者。然而,很少有研究考察眼睛形态的变化与湖泊条件复杂性的关系,包括环境干扰以及捕食和竞争的空间变化。由于气候变化会导致视觉气候退化,褐变、浑浊和结构复杂性的变化会对捕食风险下觅食鱼类的视觉敏锐度提出不同的要求,因此此类测试尤为重要。在这项研究中,我们测试了来自 14 个湖泊沿岸和浮游栖息地的 667 条水生掠食性鲈鱼(Perca fluviatilis)眼睛大小的变化。由于鱼类觅食与视觉条件高度相关,我们使用塞奇水深来评估湖泊系统视觉气候的影响,并研究了眼睛大小变化与浮游资源对个体食物的贡献和捕食风险的关系。Secchi深度、浮游生物对食物的贡献以及食鱼动物的比例对眼睛大小有显著影响。这些变化结果表明,视觉气候、捕食景观和食物等湖泊环境是这种食肉动物眼睛大小变化的主要因素。由于许多鱼类物种在觅食和捕食风险之间进行权衡,未来的研究将显示种内和种间相互作用的复杂性是否会导致淡水鱼眼睛大小的变化。在期刊博客上免费阅读本文的通俗摘要。

Understanding the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF) is crucial to predicting the consequences of ongoing global biodiversity loss. However, what drives BEF relationships in natural ecosystems under globally changing conditions remains poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we applied a trait‐based approach to data from coastal dune plant communities distributed along a natural environmental stress gradient. Specifically, we compared the relative importance of below‐ground and above‐ground traits in predicting productivity, decomposition, water regulation, carbon stock and nutrient pools, and tested how these BEF relationships were modulated by environmental stress and the presence of rare species that are typically excluded from experimental systems. Below‐ground traits were just as important as above‐ground traits in driving ecosystem functioning. Moreover, despite having low abundances, rare species positively influenced ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF). However, most biodiversity effects became weaker as environmental stress increased. Our study shows that to understand variation in ecosystem functioning we must consider below‐ground traits as much as above‐ground ones. Moreover, it highlights the importance of conserving rare species for maintaining EMF. However, our findings also suggest that rapid global change could dampen the positive effects of diversity on ecosystem functioning.

了解生物多样性与生态系统功能(BEF)之间的关系对于预测全球生物多样性不断丧失的后果至关重要。然而,人们对全球变化条件下自然生态系统中生物多样性与生态系统功能关系的驱动因素仍然知之甚少。为了填补这一知识空白,我们对沿自然环境压力梯度分布的沿海沙丘植物群落的数据采用了基于性状的方法。具体来说,我们比较了地下性状和地上性状在预测生产力、分解、水调节、碳储量和养分库方面的相对重要性,并测试了这些BEF关系如何受环境压力和通常被排除在实验系统之外的稀有物种的影响。在驱动生态系统功能方面,地下特征与地上特征同样重要。此外,尽管稀有物种的丰度较低,但它们对生态系统的多功能性(EMF)有积极影响。然而,随着环境压力的增加,大多数生物多样性的影响变得越来越弱。我们的研究表明,要了解生态系统功能的变异,我们必须像考虑地面特征一样考虑地下特征。此外,这项研究还强调了保护稀有物种对维持电磁场的重要性。不过,我们的研究结果也表明,全球的快速变化可能会削弱多样性对生态系统功能的积极影响。在期刊博客上免费阅读本文的通俗语言摘要。
