Factors promoting larch dominance in central Siberia: fire versus growth performance and implications for carbon dynamics at the boundary of evergreen and deciduous conifers
Ernst Detlef Schulze,Christian Wirth,Danilo Mollicone,N Von Lüpke,Waldemar Ziegler,Frédéric Achard,M. Mund,Anatoly S. Prokushkin,S. Scherbina +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the relative role of fire and climate in determining canopy species composition and aboveground carbon stocks were investigated along a transect extending from the dark taiga zone of central Siberia, where Picea and Abies dominate the canopy, into the Larix zone of eastern Siberia.
Journal ArticleDOI
LCVP, The Leipzig catalogue of vascular plants, a new taxonomic reference list for all known vascular plants
Martin Freiberg,Marten Winter,Alessandro Gentile,Alexander Zizka,Alexandra N. Muellner-Riehl,Alexandra Weigelt,Christian Wirth +6 more
TL;DR: An updated and much improved reference list of 1,315,562 scientific names for all described vascular plant species globally, which contains more information on the taxonomic status of global plant names than any other similar resource.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stand Structure and Recent Climate Change Constrain Stand Basal Area Change in European Forests: A Comparison Across Boreal, Temperate, and Mediterranean Biomes
Paloma Ruiz-Benito,Paloma Ruiz-Benito,Paloma Ruiz-Benito,Jaime Madrigal-González,Sophia Ratcliffe,David A. Coomes,Gerald Kändler,Aleksi Lehtonen,Christian Wirth,Miguel A. Zavala +9 more
TL;DR: This paper used forest inventory data to identify the relative importance of stand structure (stand basal area and mean d.b.h.), mean climate (water availability), and recent climate change (temperature and precipitation anomalies) on forest basal area change during the late twentieth century in three major European biomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole‐plant trait spectra of North American woody plant species reflect fundamental ecological strategies
Ulrike Stahl,Jens Kattge,Jens Kattge,Björn Reu,Winfried Voigt,Kiona Ogle,John B. Dickie,Christian Wirth,Christian Wirth +8 more
TL;DR: This work employed principle coordinate analysis (PCoA) to quantify fundamental whole-plant trait spectra based on 23 traits for 305 North American woody species that span boreal to subtropical climates and reveals that complex suits of traits and potential tradeoffs underlie fundamental performance strategies in forests.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a framework for aligning different efforts to realize large-scale biodiversity monitoring through a networked design of stakeholders, data, and biodiversity schemes, and emphasize the value of integrating independent biodiversity observations in conjunction with a backbone of structured core monitoring.
