With the demand for, and scale of, ecological restoration increasing globally, effectiveness
monitoring remains a significant challenge. For forest restoration, structural complexity is a …

Vegetation structural complexity (VSC)—the three‐dimensional distribution of plants within
an ecosystem—is an important ecological trait. To date, research has focused primarily on …

Abstract In the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, large knowledge gaps
persist on how to increase biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in cash crop-dominated …

Forest structural complexity is a key element of ecosystem functioning, impacting light
environments, nutrient cycling, biodiversity, and habitat quality. Addressing the need for a …

Current climate change aggravates human health hazards posed by heat stress. Forests can
locally mitigate this by acting as strong thermal buffers, yet potential mediation by forest …

Forests harbour large spatiotemporal heterogeneity in canopy structure. This variation drives
the microclimate and light availability at the forest floor. So far, we do not know how light …

The complexity of forest structures plays a crucial role in regulating forest ecosystem
functions and strongly influences biodiversity. Yet, knowledge of the global patterns and …

Forest canopy structural complexity (CSC) describes the three-dimensional (3D)
arrangement of canopy elements, and has become an emergent forest attribute mediating …

Despite the emerging body of literature on entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs), theoretical
development is still in its infancy. In this article, we explicitly draw upon the analogy of forest …

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