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 evaluates airborne imaging spectroscopy for tree species classification using a biodiversity experiment, finding high accuracy for few species but lower accuracy for many species.

The paper introduces deadtrees.earth, an open-access database of high-resolution aerial imagery to map global tree mortality using community-sourced data and machine learning.

The paper predicts trade-offs among nature's contributions to people based on land-use patterns and species movement, finding that mixed forest-grassland areas maximize beneficial contributions and minimize detrimental ones.

The paper examines how multi-year drought affects tree growth responses influenced by neighborhood diversity and functional traits, finding stronger and site-specific diversity effects during prolonged drought.

This study examines the effects of forest structural heterogeneity on dung beetle diversity and ecosystem function in Central Europe, finding no benefit to dung beetle diversity or dung removal rates in more heterogeneous forests.

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 investigates how people perceive visual and acoustic diversity in forests and finds that acoustic perceptions are more strongly linked to actual species richness than visual ones.

The paper shows that tree species' resource economics influence soil food web multifunctionality in European forests, with acquisitive species promoting higher metabolic activity and multifunctionality.
