Major axes of variation in tree demography across global forests

M. d. S. Leite, S. M. McMahon, P. I. Prado, S. J. Davies, A. A. d. Oliveira, H. P. De Deurwaerder, S. Aguilar, K. J. Anderson-Teixeira, N. Aqilah, N. A. Bourg, W. Y. Brockelman, N. Castano, C.-H. Chang-Yang, Y.-Y. Chen, G. Chuyong, , R. Phillips

This study identifies key sources of variation in tree demography across global forests using a variance partitioning framework, finding species differences as a major driver of demographic variance.

Topographically driven microclimatic gradients shape patterns of forest structure, diversity, and composition at a forest-grassland transition zone

B. H. McNichol, R. Wang, A. Hefner, C. Helzer, S. M. McMahon, S. E. Russo

The paper quantifies how topographic and microclimatic gradients influence forest structure, diversity, and composition at a semi-arid forest-grassland transition zone.

Comparative Transcriptomics of Tropical Woody Plants Supports Fast and Furious Strategy along the Leaf Economics Spectrum in Lianas.

U. U. Sezen, S. J. Worthy, M. N. Umana, S. J. Davies, S. M. McMahon, N. G. Swenson

The paper identifies genes consistently expressed or downregulated in lianas using comparative transcriptomics, linking them to leaf economics spectrum traits.

Tropical tree growth sensitivity to climate is driven by species intrinsic growth rate and leaf traits

D. Bauman, C. Fortunel, L. A. Cernusak, L. P. Bentley, S. M. McMahon, J. Aguirre-Gutierrez, I. Oliveras, M. Bradford, S. G. W. Laurance, G. Delhaye, M. F. Hutchinson, R. Dempsey, B. E. McNellis, P. E. Santos-Andrade, H. R. Ninantay-Rivera, , Y. Malhi

This study shows that tropical tree growth is influenced by both long-term climate averages and short-term anomalies, with species traits mediating these responses.
