Higher levels of multiple ecosystem services are found in forests with more tree species, Suppl info
Lars Gamfeldt,Tord Snäll,Robert Bagchi,Micael Jonsson,Lena Gustafsson,Petter Kjellander,María C. Ruiz Jaen,Mats Fröberg,Johan Stendahl,Christopher D. Philipson,Grzegorz Mikusiński,Erik Andersson,Bertil Westerlund,Henrik Andrén,Fredrik Moberg,Jon Moen,Jan Bengtsson +16 more
TL;DR: It is reported that tree species richness in production forests shows positive to positively hump-shaped relationships with multiple ecosystem services, including production of tree biomass, soil carbon storage, berry production and game production potential.

Drought survival of tropical tree seedlings enhanced by non-structural carbohydrate levels
Michael O'Brien,Sebastian Leuzinger,Christopher D. Philipson,John Tay,Andy Hector,Andy Hector +5 more
TL;DR: This study provides direct experimental evidence that greater non-structural carbohydrate concentrations before drought help maintain hydraulic function and thereby prolong drought tolerance in seedlings of ten tropical tree species.

Joseph Wright,Rakan A. Zahawi,Andy Hector +41 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the most widely studied functional traits in plant ecology were poor predictors of tree growth over large scales and may be unsuitable for predicting growth of trees over broad scales.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Sabah Biodiversity Experiment: a long-term test of the role of tree diversity in restoring tropical forest structure and functioning
Andy Hector,Christopher D. Philipson,Philippe Saner,Juliette Chamagne,Dzaeman Dzulkifli,Michael O'Brien,Jake L. Snaddon,Philip Ulok,Maja Weilenmann,Glen Reynolds,Glen Reynolds,H. Charles J. Godfray +11 more
TL;DR: The results establish the initial conditions for the Sabah Biodiversity Experiment and confirm the potential to accelerate restoration by using enrichment planting of dipterocarps to overcome recruitment limitation, as well as estimating residual impacts 22 years after selective logging.
