Abstract Integrated solutions to the climate and biodiversity crises—together with other global sustainability challenges—include identification, design implementation of nature‐based (NbS). Living organisms mediate biogeochemical cycles greenhouse gas fluxes from land sea, provide NbS both change mitigation adaptation. Plants, as primary producers in ecosystems, lie at heart NbS. Plant ecology provides foundation for developing evaluating based on an understanding ecological processes that underlie ecosystem service flow people. In this Special Feature, we a collection mini‐reviews presents concise focused analysis plant The highlight key insights, challenges opportunities future research. development target specific functions (e.g. carbon storage), or aim increasing resilience against perturbations those associated change), requires unification theory areas such biodiversity‐ecosystem function, plant–animal interactions, functional traits organisms.
