Forest canopy structural complexity (CSC) plays a crucial role in sha** forest ecosystem
productivity and stability, but the precise nature of their relationships remains controversial …

Global biodiversity and ecosystem service models typically operate independently.
Ecosystem service projections may therefore be overly optimistic because they do not …

Tree species diversity and mycorrhizal associations play a central role for forest productivity,
but factors driving positive biodiversity-productivity relationships remain poorly understood …

Plant diversity effects on community productivity often increase over time. Whether the
strengthening of diversity effects is caused by temporal shifts in species-level overyielding …

Biodiversity is essential for maintaining the terrestrial ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF).
Recent studies have revealed that the variations in terrestrial ecosystem functions are …

Whether green light promotes or represses plant growth is an unresolved but important
question, warranting a global meta-analysis of published data. We collected 136 datasets …

Although decades of research suggest that higher species richness improves ecosystem
functioning and stability, planted forests are predominantly monocultures. To determine …

The migration of trees induced by climatic warming has been observed at many alpine
treelines and boreal–tundra ecotones, but the migration of temperate trees into southern …

Tree species are known to predominantly interact either with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) or
ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding whether these …

Positive relationships between structural diversity and forest productivity have been
documented in controlled experiments and early secondary forests, however, negative …
