Functional traits, not productivity, predict alpine plant community openness to seedling recruitment under climatic warming
Meineri, Eric Pierre F; Klanderud, Kari; Guittar, John; Goldberg, Deborah E; Vandvik, Vigdis (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Understanding the degree to which plant communities are open to seedling recruitment is key to predicting how they will be impacted by climate change. We experimentally assessed whether communities assembled under colder ... -
The role of plant functional groups mediating climate impacts on carbon and biodiversity of alpine grasslands
Vandvik, Vigdis; Althuizen, Inge; Jaroszynska, Francesca; Krüger, Linn Cecilie; Lee, Hanna; Goldberg, Deborah E.; Klanderud, Kari; Olsen, Siri Lie; Telford, Richard James; Hjortland Östman, Silje Andrea; Busca, Sara; Dahle, Ingrid Johnsen; Egelkraut, Dagmar Dorothea; Geange, Sonya Rita; Gya, Ragnhild; Lynn, Joshua Scott; Meineri, Eric Pierre F; Young, Sherry; Halbritter Rechsteiner, Aud Helen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Plant removal experiments allow assessment of the role of biotic interactions among species or functional groups in community assembly and ecosystem functioning. When replicated along climate gradients, they can assess ... -
Seed banks are biodiversity reservoirs: species–area relationships above versus below ground
Vandvik, Vigdis; Klanderud, Kari; Meineri, Eric Pierre F; Måren, Inger Elisabeth; Töpper, Joachim Paul (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-05-26)Soil seed banks offer plants the possibility to disperse through time. This has implications for population and community dynamics, as recognised by ecological and evolutionary theory. In contrast, the conservation and ... -
Vital rates in early life history underlie shifts in biotic interactions along bioclimatic gradients: An experimental test of the Stress Gradient Hypothesis
Klanderud, Kari; Meineri, Eric Pierre F; Goldberg, Deborah E.; Michel, Pascale; Berge, Astrid; Guittar, John L.; Vandvik, Vigdis (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Question The Stress Gradient Hypothesis (SGH) predicts that competition and facilitation shift along stress gradients. We ask if the underlying mechanisms operate at specific points in plant life history, and if patterns ...
