      1. Biodiversity is an important component of natural ecosystems, with higher species richness often correlating with an increase in ecosystem productivity. Yet, this relationship varies substantially across environments, ...
    • Positive feedbacks and alternative stable states in forest leaf types 

      Zou, Yibiao; Zohner, Constantin M.; Averill, Colin; Ma, Haozhi; Merder, Julian; Berdugo, Miguel; Bialic-Murphy, Lalasia; Mo, Lidong; Brun, Philipp; Zimmermann, Niklaus E.; Peri, Pablo Luis; Crowther, Thomas W. (Springer Nature, 2024-05-31)
      The emergence of alternative stable states in forest systems has significant implications for the functioning and structure of the terrestrial biosphere, yet empirical evidence remains scarce. Here, we combine global forest ...
    • The number of tree species on Earth 

      Cazzolla Gatti, Roberto; Reichd, Peter B.; Gamarra, Javier G.P.; Crowtherh, Tom; Hui, Cang; Morera, Albert; Bastin, Jean-Francois; de-Miguel, Sergio; Jan Nabuurs, Gert; Svenning, Jens -Christian; Peri, Pablo Luis; Liang, Jingjing (National Academy of Sciences, 2022-02-08)
      One of the most fundamental questions in ecology is how many species inhabit the Earth. However, due to massive logistical and financial challenges and taxonomic difficulties connected to the species concept definition, ...
