A new study published in the journal Nature Communications reveals that functional trait diversity is linked to higher levels of soil carbon. The study, which was conducted by researchers at the University of Copenhagen, found that a greater variety of functional traits can result in increased soil carbon storage in grassland ecosystems. This finding is important as it suggests that conservation efforts should be focused on preserving and promoting functional trait diversity to improve soil carbon storage. The research team hopes that this study will help inform future conservation and land management efforts.
