CTFS-ForestGEO: A worldwide network monitoring forests in an era of global change

Kristina J. Anderson-Teixeira, +119 more
TL;DR: The broad suite of measurements made at CTFS-ForestGEO sites makes it possible to investigate the complex ways in which global change is impacting forest dynamics, and continued monitoring will provide vital contributions to understanding worldwide forest diversity and dynamics in an era of global change.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

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

Multispecies coexistence of trees in tropical forests: spatial signals of topographic niche differentiation increase with environmental heterogeneity

TL;DR: A statistical measure of spatial structure is applied to data from 14 large tropical forest plots to test a prediction of niche theory that is incompatible with neutral theory: that species in heterogeneous environments should separate out in space according to their niche preferences, and finds strong support for this prediction.
