This recently accepted paper authored by DiverSus members Dr. Georgina Conti and Prof. Sandra Díaz, entitled “Plant functional diversity and carbon storage -an empirical test in semiarid forest ecosystems”, explores how the main components of functional diversity are associated to carbon storage in sites with different plant functional diversity due to different long-term land-use regimes. You can access the paper here.
