Analysis reveals changes in taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity among plant communities, highlighting biodiversity change implications.

A net gain of 0.15 species year-1 was observed in plant communities, emphasizing gradual biodiversity change.
Changes in local diversity were found to be influenced by habitat type and disturbance, revealing varied trends across environments.
Analysis of 55,975 vegetation time series provided insights into phylogenetic diversity and functional trait evenness.
Understanding these trends can help reconcile conflicting narratives around local biodiversity change in different habitats.

Kambach et al. (2025) studied this question.
