Plant functional traits are key drivers of ecosystem stability, yet the extent to which trait-stability relationships vary among different ecosystems remains poorly understood. Here, we provide a comparative analysis of trait-stability relationships across temperate and alpine grasslands. By integrating in situ measu...

Leaf trait relationships can aid our understanding of plant adaptations and ecosystem functioning. With climate change driving an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme environmental conditions, these relationships may be altered. However, the sensitivity of these relationships to extreme drought stress rem...

It is shown that soil microbes adapt to aridity by shifting their yield, resource acquisition and stress tolerance strategies, and that aridification amplifies the effects of these strategies on soil carbon mineralization.
