This study identifies genetic variants in Arabidopsis thaliana that enable adaptation to urban environmental gradients through a city-wide colonization experiment.

This paper introduces a framework for upscaling ecosystem services that incorporates spatial interactions, improving model predictions and reducing error in ES supply mapping.

Across 109,626 wood density records from 16,829 plant species (GWDD v.2), intraspecific variation explains 15% of global variance, tracks interspecific environmental gradients at 20-30% magnitude, and limits single-plant predictability.

The paper creates a high-resolution global map of wood density using species and vegetation data, showing improved accuracy and a wider density range than previous estimates.

The paper examines how land-use intensity affects the biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationship in semi-natural grasslands at field and farm scales, finding that high intensity weakens the BEF relationship.

This study shows that low land-use intensity grasslands are more resilient to climate change than intensively managed ones, based on eight years of field experiments in Germany.
