Approximately 25 years ago, ecologists became increasingly interested in the question of
whether ongoing biodiversity loss matters for the functioning of ecosystems. As such, a new …

A rich body of knowledge links biodiversity to ecosystem functioning (BEF), but it is primarily
focused on small scales. We review the current theory and identify six expectations for scale …

Integrated high-resolution maps of carbon stocks and biodiversity that identify areas of
potential co-benefits for climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation can help …

The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) is one of the most recognized global patterns of
species richness exhibited across a wide range of taxa. Numerous hypotheses have been …

Topography is a key driver of tropical forest structure and composition, as it constrains local
nutrient and hydraulic conditions within which trees grow. Yet, we do not fully understand …
