TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Essential Biodiversity Variable framework to describe the range of biodiversity data needed to track progress towards global biodiversity targets, and assessed strengths and gaps in geographical and taxonomic coverage.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a tree ring dataset from the Catalan Ecological and Forest Inventory to study the temporal variability of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stem growth during the 20th century across a relatively large region (Catalonia, NE Spain) close to the southern limit of the distribution of the species.

TL;DR: This work identifies three major broad changes: shift in the distribution of body sizes towards smaller sizes, dominance of generalized interactions and the loss of specialized interactions, and changes in the balance of strong and weak interaction strengths in the short term.

TL;DR: The results showed that fast-growing trees were more severely affected by the drought and retained proportionally lower growth rates up to three years after the episode, while older trees were found to be less resilient to drought.

TL;DR: The authors showed that rainy El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events can enhance tree recruitment in the arid and semi-arid ecosystems of north-central Chile and northwest Peru.
