TL;DR: In this article , the authors use forest inventory data covering a broad latitudinal gradient from the temperate to the tropical zone to examine cross-scale variation in stability of aboveground biomass and underlying stabilizing mechanisms.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors tested whether increasing landscape heterogeneity, through establishing 52 tree islands in an oil-palm landscape, is a suitable restoration strategy to enhance the diversity of six taxa (multi-taxa diversity).

TL;DR: In this article , the authors assessed how ongoing climate change affects the range sizes of oceanic island plants, identifying species of particular conservation concern, and combined species occurrence data from single- island endemic, archipelago endemic and non-endemic native plant species of the Canary Islands with data on current and future climatic conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper , a large-scale dataset of 4,440 vascular plant species was used to explore the relationship between the evolutionary distinctiveness (as measured by the species evolutionary history) of host species and the phylogenetic diversity (PD) of their associated epiphyte species.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D forest stand model is presented in which growth patterns of individual trees and forest stands are emergent properties of leaf traits, and the model is integrated into a dynamic tree stand model to integrate structurally-detailed internal physiological processes with interspecific competition, and interactions with the environment in diverse tree communities.
