• Co-limitation toward lower latitudes shapes global forest diversity gradients 

      liang, Jingjing; Gamarra, Javier G.P.; Picard, Nicolas; Zhou, Mo; Pijanowski, Bryan; Jacobs, Douglass F.; Reich, Peter B. ; Crowther, Thomas W.; Nabuurs , Gert-Jan; de-Miguel, Sergio; Peri, Pablo Luis; Hui, Cang (Springer Nature, 2022-08-08)
      The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) is one of the most recognized global patterns of species richness exhibited across a wide range of taxa. Numerous hypotheses have been proposed in the past two centuries to explain ...
    • Integrated global assessment of the natural forest carbon potential 

      Mo, Lidong; Zohner, Constantin M.; Reich, Peter B.; Liang, Jingjing; de-Miguel, Sergio; Nabuurs, Gert-Jan; Renner, Susanne S.; van den Hoogen, Johan; Araza, Arnan; Herold, Martin; Peri, Pablo Luis; Crowther, Thomas W. (Springer Nature, 2023-12-07)
      Forests are a substantial terrestrial carbon sink, but anthropogenic changes in land use and climate have considerably reduced the scale of this system1. Remote-sensing estimates to quantify carbon losses from global ...
    • Native diversity buffers against severity of non-native tree invasions 

      Delavaux, Camille S.; Crowther, Thomas W.; Zohner, Constantin M.; Robmann, Niamh M.; Lauber, Thomas; van den Hoogen, Johan; Kuebbing, Sara; Liang, Jingjing; de-Miguel, Sergio; Nabuurs, Gert-Jan; Peri, Pablo Luis; Maynard, Daniel S. (Springer Nature, 2023-09)
      Determining the drivers of non-native plant invasions is critical for managing native ecosystems and limiting the spread of invasive species1,2. Tree invasions in particular have been relatively overlooked, even though ...
    • The global biogeography of tree leaf form and habit 

      Ma, Haozhi; Crowther, Thomas W.; Mo, Lidong; Maynard,  Daniel S.; Renner, Susanne S.; van den Hoogen, Johan; Zou, Yibiao; Liang, Jingjing; de-Miguel, Sergio; Nabuurs, Gert-Jan; Peri, Pablo Luis; Zohner, Constantin M. (Springer Nature, 2023-11)
      Understanding what controls global leaf type variation in trees is crucial for comprehending their role in terrestrial ecosystems, including carbon, water and nutrient dynamics. Yet our understanding of the factors influencing ...
    • 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, ...
