    • Plant Biomass and Reproduction Responses to Elevated Atmospheric CO2 and N in a Large-Scale Grassland Field Study 

      Lee, Tali; Backhaus, Lindsay (2016-10-14)
      Carbon dioxide (CO2) and soil nitrogen (N) are vital for plant growth, but anthropogenic emissions of CO2 and the use of N fertilizer are altering the cycling of these elements. In 2013, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels ...

    • Scaling of Plant Functional Diversity Across Stress Gradients 

      Backhaus, Lindsay; Bee, Chelsie; Budd, Kayla; Edwards, Briana; Eicher, Zachary; Feddick, Brooke; Harris, Charity; Huite, Skylar; Mauthe, Michael; Sueldo, Alexandra; Weiher, Evan (2017-11-17)
      Scale has an incredible ability to influence biological patterns. Well-known examples include the change in metabolic rate with body size and the increase in biodiversity with area. Community assembly addresses how the ...

    • Stress Increases Holeyness of Trait-Space Occupation in Plant Communities 

      Huite, Skylar; Backhaus, Lindsay; Bee, Chelsie; Budd, Kayla; Edwards, Briana; Eicher, Zachary; Feddick, Brooke; Harris, Charity; Mauthe, Michael; Sueldo, Alexandra; Weiher, Evan (2018-03-28)
      Functional diversity is an aspect of biodiversity that captures trait-based differences in communities and it is important for understanding how communities are assembled from regional species pools. Functional diversity ...
