How ecologists think about above‐ground forest structure and dynamics is fundamentally
shaped by the data we can collect. This has historically been limited to what is possible with …

Forest restoration increases global forest area and ecosystem services such as primary
productivity and carbon storage. How tree species functional composition impacts the …

Trait-based ecology has improved our understanding of the functioning of organisms,
communities, ecosystems, and beyond. However, its predictive ability remains limited as …

Extreme climatic events threaten forests and their climate mitigation potential globally.
Understanding the drivers promoting ecosystem stability is therefore considered crucial for …

The frequency of consecutive drought years is predicted to increase due to climate change.
These droughts have strong negative impacts on forest ecosystems. Mixing tree species is …

Forests are ecosystems critical to understanding the global carbon budget, due to their
carbon sequestration potential in both aboveground and belowground compartments …

Plants produce thousands of compounds, collectively called the metabolome, which mediate
interactions with other organisms. The metabolome of an individual plant may change …

Given global climate change and the projected increases in the greenhouse effect,
enhancing the carbon storage capacity of forest ecosystems is especially critical. To fully …

Covariation of plant functional traits, that is, phenotypic integration, might constrain their
variability. This was observed for inter‐and intraspecific variation, but there is no evidence of …

Background The species composition of tree stands plays an important role in sha** the
properties of forest soils. The aim of our research was to determine the influence on soil …
