A common mycorrhizal network (CMN) is formed when mycorrhizal fungal hyphae connect
the roots of multiple plants of the same or different species belowground. Recently, CMNs …

In the last few years, renewable, inexpensive, biocompatible, and biodegradable wood and
lignocellulose materials have triggered considerable research interest for application in …

Large pulses of tree mortality have ushered in a major reorganization of Europe's forest
ecosystems. To initiate a robust next generation of trees, the species that are planted today …

Determining the drivers of non-native plant invasions is critical for managing native
ecosystems and limiting the spread of invasive species,. Tree invasions in particular have …

Due to massive energetic investments in woody support structures, trees are subject to
unique physiological, mechanical, and ecological pressures not experienced by herbaceous …

Abstract Knowledge of tree species is required to inform management, planning, and
monitoring of forests as well as to characterize habitat and ecosystem function. Remotely …

Regions harbouring high unique phylogenetic diversity (PD) are priority targets for
conservation. Here, we analyse the global distribution of plant PD, which remains poorly …

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 …

Trees structure the Earth's most biodiverse ecosystem, tropical forests. The vast number of
tree species presents a formidable challenge to understanding these forests, including their …

Plant life and growth forms (shortened to 'plant forms') represent key functional strategies of
plants in relation to their environment and provide important insights into the ecological …
