Eco-evolutionary dynamics between multiple competitors reduce phytoplankton coexistence but have limited impacts on community productivity

bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Jan. 15, 2025

ABSTRACT Species can evolve rapidly in response to competition but how evolution within communities affects community properties is unclear. To test this, we grew three marine phytoplankton species monoculture (alone) or polyculture (together) for 17 weeks. We then combined them based on their history (monoculture isolates) and tracked composition productivity over time. found that dominance was unaffected, coexistence reduced when evolved together (polyculture isolates). Total biovolume robust changes relative abundances. However, isolates had greater oxygen fluxes during exponential phase were less the addition of an invader. Our results suggest strengthen competitive differences between with uneven effects different aspects functioning. Thus, should be cautious extrapolating consequences biomass other stability.

Positive effects of species mixing on biodiversity of understory plant communities and soil health in forest plantations

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 122(11)

Published: March 13, 2025

Mixed-species plantations are increasingly recognized for their potential to maintain forest biodiversity and soil health; however, a comprehensive assessment of global effectiveness is lacking. To fill this knowledge gap, we conducted meta-analysis 7,045 paired observations between mixed-species monoculture plantations, derived from 311 studies across diverse ecosystems worldwide. Our results show that significantly increased understory plant biomass, cover, species richness by 32.6%, 55.4%, 32.2%, respectively, compared monocultures. Furthermore, the Shannon Pielou diversity indices 28.2% 8.6%, Simpson index 9.6%. When shrub herbaceous were considered separately, mixing had positive effects on but no effect diversity. Moreover, markedly improved physical chemical properties These improvements include increases in nutrient content (9.6 17.8%) availability (14.7 33.5%), microbial biomass (17.2 28.8%), carbon sequestration (7.2 19.9%). enhancements particularly pronounced included legumes. findings reveal benefits influenced climatic conditions, geographic location, stand age, with most substantial observed temperate regions mature stands. This study underscores critical role promoting sustainable management mitigating ecological limitations

Biodiversity and Rock Exposure Ratio Jointly Affected the Ecosystem Multifunctionality of Karst Evergreen and Deciduous Broad‐Leaved Mixed Forest

Land Degradation and Development, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Jan. 13, 2025

ABSTRACT As the climax community of karst in southwest China without human disturbance, mechanisms through which biodiversity maintains ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) evergreen and deciduous broad‐leaved mixed forest are still unclear. This study employed structural equation modeling to analyze correlations between EMF three key variables: plant diversity, soil microbial rock exposure ratio within this forest. Plant diversity were main biotic drivers EMF. Within these factors, provided a preferable explanation for compared with fungal co‐occurrence network complexity playing dominant roles. Functional, species, phylogenetic indices explain changes better than community‐weighted mean traits, indicating that niche complementarity hypothesis holds greater relevance explaining biodiversity‐maintenance mechanism Moreover, directly affects as well indirectly diversity. Collectively, account 87% variability Specifically, its exerted positive direct impact on EMF, while bacterial mainly affected by positively contributing complexity. These findings emphasized significance comprehensive protection aboveground underground have strengthened our comprehension forests.
