Journal ArticleDOI

TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access

Jens Kattge, +754 more
- 01 Jan 2020 - 
TL;DR: The extent of the trait data compiled in TRY is evaluated and emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness are analyzed to conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI

The GenTree Dendroecological Collection: tree-ring and wood density data from seven tree species across Europe

Elisabet Martínez-Sancho, +73 more
- 02 Jan 2020 - 
TL;DR: This dataset of individual tree-core characteristics including ring-width series and whole-core wood density was collected for seven ecologically and economically important European tree species, covering most of the geographical and climatic range occupied by the selected species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning relations in European forests depend on environmental context

Sophia Ratcliffe, +63 more
- 01 Nov 2017 - 
TL;DR: There is a tendency for stronger B-EF relations in drier climates as well as in areas with longer growing seasons and more functionally diverse tree species, suggesting that as water limitation increases under climate change, biodiversity may become even more important to support high levels of functioning in European forests.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jack-of-all-trades effects drive biodiversity–ecosystem multifunctionality relationships in European forests

Fons van der Plas, +51 more
- 24 Mar 2016 - 
TL;DR: Simulations demonstrate that jack-of-all-trades effects occur whenever species effects on different functions are not perfectly correlated, meaning they may contribute to diversity–multifunctionality relationships in many of the world's ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biotic homogenization can decrease landscape-scale forest multifunctionality

Fons van der Plas, +56 more
- 29 Mar 2016 - 
TL;DR: This study used a comprehensive pan-European dataset, including 16 ecosystem functions measured in 209 forest plots across six European countries, and performed simulations to investigate how local plot-scale richness of tree species and their turnover between plots are related to landscape-scale multifunctionality.
