TL;DR: A consistent positive concave-down effect of biodiversity on forest productivity across the world is revealed, showing that a continued biodiversity loss would result in an accelerating decline in forest productivity worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climatic controls of decomposition drive the global biogeography of forest-tree symbioses

TL;DR: A spatially explicit global map of the symbiotic status of forests, using a database of over 1.1 million forest inventory plots that collectively contain over 28,000 tree species, reveals that climate variables are the primary drivers of the distribution of different types of symbiosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of diversity of tree species and size on forest basal area growth, recruitment, and mortality
TL;DR: There was a strong positive relationship between net basal area growth and tree-species diversity in the two forest types under study, and neither mortality nor growth of survivors was related to tree- Species diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This work presents a conceptual framework linking tropical deforestation and the current pandemic, and highlights the emerging threats to nature and society resulting from this complex reciprocal interplay and possible policy interventions that could minimize these threats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustainable palm oil may not be so sustainable.
TL;DR: Why palm oil certifications may have failed as an effective means to halt forest degradation and biodiversity loss is discussed and an alarming and previously overlooked situation is suggested, such as that current "sustainable palm oil" is often associated with recent habitat degradation and forest loss.
