Response diversity is key to buffer ecosystem productivity against multiple environmental change drivers

The paper shows that response diversity in species helps maintain ecosystem productivity under multiple environmental changes, but this effect diminishes with stronger negative impacts.

Bark traits affect epiphytic bryophyte community assembly in a temperate forest

The paper investigates how bark traits influence the assembly processes of epiphytic bryophyte communities in a temperate forest, finding non-random patterns linked to abiotic and biotic factors.

Jaccard dissimilarity in stochastic community models based on the species-independence assumption

The paper develops probabilistic models to analyze beta-diversity by considering species presence probabilities across sites and applies them to woodpecker distribution data.

ForestScanner: A mobile application for measuring and mapping trees with LiDAR-equipped iPhone and iPad

ForestScanner enables rapid, accurate, and cost-effective forest inventories using LiDAR-equipped iPhones or iPads, reducing labor and time compared to traditional methods.

Partitioning the temporal changes in abundance-based beta diversity into loss and gain components

The paper develops a method to partition temporal changes in beta diversity into loss and gain components, revealing homogenization in fish communities driven by species abundance gains.

Prolonged impacts of past agriculture and overgrazing on soil fungal communities in restored forests

The paper examines how past agriculture and overgrazing affect soil fungal communities in restored forests, finding that fungal diversity is higher in reforested sites but community structure is more homogenized.

Partitioning the colonization and extinction components of beta diversity: Spatiotemporal species turnover across disturbance gradients

The paper dissects extinction and colonization components of beta diversity in disturbed forests, revealing their opposing effects on community assembly and spatial homogenization.

Tree diversity effects on forest productivity increase through time because of spatial partitioning

The paper shows that tree diversity increases forest biomass over 31 years through spatial partitioning, with complementarity effects growing exponentially and selection effects decreasing.
