Global importance of large‐diameter trees

James A. Lutz, +98 more
TL;DR: Because large-diameter trees constitute roughly half of the mature forest biomass worldwide, their dynamics and sensitivities to environmental change represent potentially large controls on global forest carbon cycling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scale-dependent relationships between tree species richness and ecosystem function in forests

Ryan A. Chisholm, +68 more
- 01 Sep 2013 - 
TL;DR: This work focuses on forests, which represent a majority of global biomass, productivity and biodiversity, and investigates the relationship between species richness and ecosystem function as measured by productivity or biomass.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plant diversity increases with the strength of negative density dependence at the global scale.

Joseph A. LaManna, +55 more
- 30 Jun 2017 - 
TL;DR: Global patterns in tree species diversity reflect not only stronger CNDD at tropical versus temperate latitudes but also a latitudinal shift in the relationship between CNDd and species abundance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Point patterns of tree distribution determined by habitat heterogeneity and dispersal limitation

TL;DR: The results showed that the inhomogeneous Thomas process was the best fit model and described most of the species studied, suggesting that spatial patterns of tree species might be formed by the joint effects of habitat associations and dispersal limitation.
