Tree diversity drives forest stand resistance to natural disturbances
Purpose of review Forests are frequently exposed to natural disturbances, which are likely to
increase with global change, and may jeopardize the delivery of ecosystem services. Mixed …

Biodiversity across trophic levels drives multifunctionality in highly diverse forests
Human-induced biodiversity change impairs ecosystem functions crucial to human well-
being. However, the consequences of this change for ecosystem multifunctionality are …

Synthesis and future research directions linking tree diversity to growth, survival, and damage in a global network of tree diversity experiments
Despite considerable research demonstrating that biodiversity increases productivity in
forests and regulates herbivory and pathogen damage, there remain gaps in our …

The influence of tree diversity on natural enemies—a review of the “enemies” hypothesis in forests
Abstract Purpose of Review Natural enemies are an important component for forest
functioning. By consuming herbivores, they can be effective top-down regulators of potential …

Carbon–biodiversity relationships in a highly diverse subtropical forest
Carbon‐focused climate mitigation strategies are becoming increasingly important in forests.
However, with ongoing biodiversity declines we require better knowledge of how much such …

Effects of forest management on ground-dwelling beetles (Coleoptera; Carabidae, Staphylinidae) in Central Europe are mainly mediated by changes in forest …
Forest management is known to influence species diversity of various taxa but inconsistent
or even contrasting effects are reported for arthropods. Regional differences in management …
