The study shows that warmer microclimates in forest gaps boost biodiversity in colder regions but not in warmer ones, suggesting climate-specific forest management strategies.

The paper examines how functional niche attributes influence species interaction roles in ecological networks, finding that niche variability inversely affects interaction variability and that these effects depend on species biomass and community composition.

The paper examines how multitrophic species interaction networks influence ecosystem multifunctionality and finds that network structure, including niche overlap and linkage density, significantly affects ecosystem function.

This study shows that increasing structural heterogeneity in managed forests boosts gamma diversity in understorey plants but not beta diversity, with light niche variation playing a key role.

The paper quantifies how forest structural changes affect volatile organic compound beta-diversity and finds deadwood, not canopy openness, drives this increase.

The paper quantifies microclimatic heterogeneity in forests and links it to biodiversity, showing that canopy structure and gaps influence temperature variation and species diversity.

The paper experiments with structural heterogeneity in forests to determine its impact on beetle metacommunities, finding increased species diversity and support for mass-effect and species-sorting processes.

The paper manipulates forest structural complexity to study its effects on soil nematode diversity, finding functional diversity responds more strongly than taxonomic diversity to structural changes.

The paper experimentally increases forest structural heterogeneity and finds it boosts soil fungal gamma-diversity mainly through beta-diversity and microclimate effects, with weak phylogenetic diversity gains and contrasting functional responses.

This study examines how enhancing structural complexity in German forests affects soil microbial properties, finding site-specific effects influenced by soil moisture and understorey vegetation.

This study quantifies biomass allocation and root-to-shoot ratios in trees grown in mono- and heterospecific neighbourhoods, finding higher RSR in mixtures and stronger aboveground investment over time.

The paper investigates how tree species diversity and functional traits affect canopy space filling and productivity in tropical forests, finding that functional diversity and taxonomic diversity enhance overyielding.
