Why can we detect lianas from space?

M. D. Visser, M. Detto, F. Meunier, J. Wu, B. Bongalov, D. Coomes, M. H. Nunes, J. A. Guzman Q., A. Sanchez-Azofeifa, J. Foster, E. Broadbent, H. Verbeeck, D. Marvin, C. J. Chandler, G. M. F. van der Heijden, , S. W. Pacala

The paper identifies a consistent spectral signature of lianas across scales, showing their detectability from space but highlighting challenges in accurate remote sensing due to trait overlap with other species.

Liana optical traits increase tropical forest albedo and reduce ecosystem productivity

F. Meunier, M. D. Visser, A. Shiklomanov, M. C. Dietze, J. A. Guzman, A. Sanchez-Azofeifa, H. P. T. De Deurwaerder, S. M. Krishna Moorty, S. A. Schnitzer, D. C. Marvin, M. Longo, L. Chang, E. N. Broadbent, A. M. A. Zambrano, H. C. Muller-Landau, , H. Verbeeck

This study shows lianas increase forest albedo and reduce productivity through specific optical traits, using radiative transfer models and meta-analysis of optical spectra.

Are we missing the forest for the trees? Conspecific negative density dependence in a temperate deciduous forest

K. Barry, S. A. Schnitzer

This study tests three conditions for conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) in a temperate forest and finds that CNDD is primarily observed in canopy trees, not understory plants.

A universal scaling method for biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships

K. E. Barry, G. A. Pinter, J. W. Strini, K. Yang, I. G. Lauko, S. A. Schnitzer, J. Cowles, A. S. Mori, L. Williams, P. B. Reich, A. J. Wright

The paper develops a method to upscale biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships using macroecological patterns, showing that species-area and biomass-area curves predict biodiversity-biomass relationships at larger scales.
