Fungal functional ecology: bringing a trait‐based approach to plant‐associated fungi
Fungi play many essential roles in ecosystems. They facilitate plant access to nutrients and
water, serve as decay agents that cycle carbon and nutrients through the soil, water and …

Experimental studies of dead-wood biodiversity—a review identifying global gaps in knowledge
The importance of dead wood for biodiversity is widely recognized but strategies for
conservation exist only in some regions worldwide. Most strategies combine knowledge …

Effects of fragmentation on grassland plant diversity depend on the habitat specialization of species
Evaluating the impacts of habitat loss and fragmentation is essential for biodiversity
conservation. However, an understanding of how habitat loss and fragmentation interact and …

Natural disturbance-based forest management: moving beyond retention and continuous-cover forestry
Global forest area is declining rapidly, along with degradation of the ecological condition of
remaining forests. Hence it is necessary to adopt forest management approaches that can …

A trait-based understanding of wood decomposition by fungi
As the primary decomposers of organic material in terrestrial ecosystems, fungi are critical
agents of the global carbon cycle. Yet our ability to link fungal community composition to …

Young and old forest in the boreal: critical stages of ecosystem dynamics and management under global change
The circumboreal forest encompasses diverse landscape structures, dynamics and forest
age distributions determined by their physical setting, and historical and current disturbance …

Biodiversity response to forest structure and management: Comparing species richness, conservation relevant species and functional diversity as metrics in forest …
Aim We investigated the consistency between richness and trait-based diversity metrics in
capturing the effects of management-related habitat factors on biodiversity. The choice of …

Using latent variable models to identify large networks of species‐to‐species associations at different spatial scales
We present a hierarchical latent variable model that partitions variation in species
occurrences and co‐occurrences simultaneously at multiple spatial scales. We illustrate how …

Primary determinants of communities in deadwood vary among taxa but are regionally consistent
The evolutionary split between gymnosperms and angiosperms has far‐reaching
implications for the current communities colonizing trees. The inherent characteristics of …

Ecosystem management of the boreal forest in the era of global change
The boreal forest is a vast biome encompassing approximately one-third (30%) of the
world's forest area. It harbors about half of the world's remaining natural and near-natural …
