Plant–soil feedback (PSF) is an important mechanism determining plant community
dynamics and structure. Understanding the geographic patterns and drivers of PSF is …

Tropical forest recovery is fundamental to addressing the intertwined climate and
biodiversity loss crises. While regenerating trees sequester carbon relatively quickly, the …

A seemingly universal pattern for the forests of the world is that stem growth increases as a
new forest develops, reaches a plateau while the trees are still relatively young, and then …

Landscape patterns are important drivers of biodiversity. Owing to differences in vegetation
types, sampling methods, diversity measures, spatial scales, and landscape levels, the …

Understanding what controls global leaf type variation in trees is crucial for comprehending
their role in terrestrial ecosystems, including carbon, water and nutrient dynamics. Yet our …

Planted forests are critical to climate change mitigation and constitute a major supplier of
timber/non-timber products and other ecosystem services. Globally, approximately 36% of …

Aim To determine the relationships between the functional trait composition of forest
communities and environmental gradients across scales and biomes and the role of species …

Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) loading alters soil ammonia‐oxidizing archaea (AOA) and
bacteria (AOB) abundances, likely leading to substantial changes in soil nitrification …

For more than three decades, major efforts in sampling and analyzing tree diversity in South
America have focused almost exclusively on trees with stems of at least 10 and 2.5 cm …

Tree species diversity is crucial for forest ecosystem services as it relates to ecosystem
functions. However, it remains unclear how spatially continuous tree species diversity affects …
