The European biodiversity and forest strategies rely on forest sustainable management
(SFM) to conserve forest biodiversity. However, current sustainability assessments hardly …

The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in vegetation remote sensing allows a time-
flexible and cost-effective acquisition of very high-resolution imagery. Still, current methods …

Insects are declining, but the underlying drivers and differences in responses between
species are still largely unclear. Despite the importance of forests, insect trends therein have …

Trade-offs and synergies in the supply of forest ecosystem services are common but the
drivers of these relationships are poorly understood. To guide management that seeks to …

Forests provide important ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration. Forest
landscapes are intrinsically heterogeneous—a problem for biomass and productivity …

Background Temperate forest understorey vegetation poses an excellent study system to
investigate whether increases in resource availability lead to an increase in plant species …

Formation of mineral‐associated organic matter (MAOM) supports the accumulation and
stabilization of carbon (C) in soil, and thus, is a key factor in the global C cycle. Little is …

Key message Authors have analyzed the possible correlation between measurements/
indicators of forest structure and species richness of many taxonomic or functional groups …

The patterns of successional change of decomposer communities is unique in that resource
availability predictably decreases as decomposition proceeds. Saproxylic (ie deadwood …

Conversion of structurally complex rainforests into simplified oil palm monocultures leads to
dramatic losses of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. To alleviate negative ecological …
