Quaternary climate change explains global patterns of tree beta-diversity

Wubing Xu, +60 more
- 17 Nov 2020 - 
TL;DR: Global patterns of taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional nestedness was higher than expected from taxonomic beta-diversity in regions that experienced large temperature changes since the Last Glacial Maximum, sending a strong warning that rapid anthropogenic climate change is likely to result in a long-lasting phylogenetically and functional compositional simplification, potentially impairing forest ecosystem functioning.

Assessing trait driver theory along abiotic gradients in tropical plant communities

TL;DR: The shape of trait distributions related to tree carbon, nutrient economics and stem hydraulics across a small-scale but steep gradient of soil water availability in coastal Brazilian Atlantic forest communities is quantified.
