Love Thy Neighbour? Tropical Tree Growth and Its Response to Climate Anomalies Is Mediated by Neighbourhood Hierarchy and Dissimilarity in Carbon‐ and Water‐Related Traits
Taxonomic diversity effects on forest productivity and response to climate extremes range from positive to negative, suggesting a key …
Local Forest Structure and Host Specificity Influence Liana Community Composition in a Moist Central African Forest
Lianas are important components of tropical forest diversity and dynamics, yet little is known about the drivers of their community …
The global distribution and drivers of wood density and their impact on forest carbon stocks
The density of wood is a key indicator of the carbon investment strategies of trees, impacting productivity and carbon storage. Despite …
Dominance and rarity in tree communities across the globe: Patterns, predictors and threats
  • Aim: Ecological and anthropogenic factors shift the abundances of dominant and rare tree species within local forest communities, thus …
Positive feedbacks and alternative stable states in forest leaf types
The emergence of alternative stable states in forest systems has significant implications for the functioning and structure of the …
Climate anomalies and neighbourhood crowding interact in shaping tree growth in old-growth and selectively logged tropical forests
  1. Climate extremes and biotic interactions at the neighbourhood scale affect tropical forest dynamics with long-term consequences for …
Global Patterns and Environmental Drivers of Forest Functional Composition
  • Aim: To determine the relationships between the functional trait composition of forest communities and environmental gradients across …
