Plant secondary metabolite diversity reflects both phylogeny and ecological adaptation

The paper examines the relationship between plant secondary metabolite diversity, phylogeny, and ecological adaptation, finding that certain metabolites correlate with adaptive strategies and biomes.

Global trade-offs in tree functional traits

The paper quantifies global trait variation in trees, identifying two independent processes and seven key traits that capture most variation in tree form and function.

The contribution of leaf sulfur content to the leaf economics spectrum explained by plant adaptive strategies

This study examines the relationship between leaf sulfur content and the leaf economics spectrum across 740 plant species, finding associations with plant strategies and nutrient stoichiometry.

Quaternary climate change explains global patterns of tree beta-diversity

The paper examines how Quaternary climate change influences tree beta-diversity globally, finding temperature changes since the Last Glacial Maximum strongly affect turnover and nestedness components.

Paleoclimate and current climate collectively shape the phylogenetic and functional diversity of trees worldwide

The paper maps global tree diversity patterns and shows that both current and ancient climates influence tree species richness, functional, and phylogenetic diversity.

Half of the world's tree biodiversity is unprotected and is increasingly threatened by human activities

The paper identifies priority areas for global tree conservation and finds that half are unprotected and face human threats.
