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 standardizes sample coverage to compare saproxylic beetle diversity across European tree genera, finding oak supports higher richness while resource availability and tree height are key drivers.

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.

This study shows that enhancing structural heterogeneity in forests increases hoverfly diversity, with benefits for taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity.

This study examines how forest decline and salvage logging affect saproxylic beetle diversity across different European forest types.

The paper examines how vertical and horizontal temperature differences in a managed forest influence arthropod communities using temperature loggers and metabarcoding.

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 tests how forest management strategies affect deadwood fungal diversity and decomposition by manipulating canopy cover and deadwood enrichment in beech and pine forests.

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 shows that increasing forest structural complexity reduces spider diversity through habitat filtering, despite higher abundances and beta-diversity.

The paper shows that restoring forest structural complexity increases γ-diversity for bats and birds through distinct α- and β-diversity mechanisms.

The paper introduces a continuum of information-based temporal stability measures parameterized by q, applicable to ecological time series data, and demonstrates their use with biomass data from the Jena Experiment.

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.

The paper shows acoustic indices can predict recovery of tropical bird communities, including taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic composition, using audio recordings and Hill numbers analysis.

The paper introduces a large-scale chronosequence in the Ecuadorian Choco to study forest recovery, finding that forest structure, biomass, and species richness increase with regeneration time and approach old-growth levels after decades to centuries.

This study standardizes sample coverage in metabarcoding data to assess land use effects on insect diversity, finding significant declines in both taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity in agricultural areas.

This study extends the typology of tree-related microhabitats to include tropical forests and compares their diversity between tropical and temperate forests.
