TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the characteristics of glaciers and their changes through time from a wide range of satellite sensors, such as area, elevation change and surface velocity, and proposed algorithms for product creation and post-processing.

TL;DR: It is found that plant species richness effects on consumer species richness are consistently positive and mediated by elevated structural and functional diversity of the plant communities, and vary across ecosystems and trophic levels.

TL;DR: It is found that neighbourhood tree species richness generally promotes individual tree productivity, and that net biodiversity effects in tree communities can vary over small spatial scales, emphasising the need to consider variation in local neighbourhood interactions to better understand effects at the community level.

TL;DR: Higher neighbourhood species richness increased tree growth, explaining over half of the variation in community productivity, and preserving tree species diversity at the local neighbourhood scale seems to be a promising way for promoting forest productivity.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that diversity-mediated shifts in allocation pattern and crown morphology are a fundamental mechanism for crown complementarity and may be an important driver of overyielding.
