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.

TL;DR: Theory predicts that intraspecific competition should be stronger than interspecific competition for any pair of stably coexisting species, yet previous literature reviews found little support for this pattern.

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.

TL;DR: Density-dependent competitive interactions strongly shape forest communities even five centuries after stand initiation, underscoring the dynamic nature of even equilibrial old-growth forests.

TL;DR: Morel mushrooms are globally distributed, socially and economically important reproductive structures produced by fungi of the genus Morchella, and significant harvests are collected throughout their range, especially in the first year after fire, when some morel species fruit prolifically as discussed by the authors.
