Science
. 2025 Jan;
387(6731):278-284.
PMID: 39818908
Persistent multiyear drought (MYD) events pose a growing threat to nature and humans in a changing climate. We identified and inventoried global MYDs by detecting spatiotemporally contiguous climatic anomalies, showing...

Nat Commun
. 2024 May;
15(1):4375.
PMID: 38821947
The conservation and restoration of forest ecosystems require detailed knowledge of the native plant compositions. Here, we map global forest tree composition and assess the impacts of historical forest cover...

Kambach S, Attorre F, Axmanova I, Bergamini A, Biurrun I, Bonari G, et al.
Glob Chang Biol
. 2024 Feb;
30(2):e17189.
PMID: 38375686
Terrestrial ecosystems affect climate by reflecting solar irradiation, evaporative cooling, and carbon sequestration. Yet very little is known about how plant traits affect climate regulation processes (CRPs) in different habitat...

Sci Data
. 2023 Sep;
10(1):579.
PMID: 37666883
We present a collection of 295 gauge locations in mountainous Central Asia with norm discharge as well as time series of river discharge from 135 of these locations collected from...

Interannual climate variability improves niche estimates for ectothermic but not endothermic species
Karger D, Saladin B, Wuest R, Graham C, Zurell D, Mo L, et al.
Sci Rep
. 2023 Aug;
13(1):12538.
PMID: 37532828
Climate is an important limiting factor of species' niches and it is therefore regularly included in ecological applications such as species distribution models (SDMs). Climate predictors are often used in...

Kambach S, Sabatini F, Attorre F, Biurrun I, Boenisch G, Bonari G, et al.
Nat Commun
. 2023 Feb;
14(1):712.
PMID: 36759605
Ecological theory predicts close relationships between macroclimate and functional traits. Yet, global climatic gradients correlate only weakly with the trait composition of local plant communities, suggesting that important factors have...

New Phytol
. 2022 Nov;
237(4):1432-1445.
PMID: 36375492
Despite the paramount role of plant diversity for ecosystem functioning, biogeochemical cycles, and human welfare, knowledge of its global distribution is still incomplete, hampering basic research and biodiversity conservation. Here,...

PMID: 36170372
What drives ecosystem buildup, diversity, and stability? We assess species arrival and ecosystem changes across 16 millennia by combining regional-scale plant sedimentary ancient DNA from Fennoscandia with near-complete DNA and...

28(14):4276-4291.
PMID: 35441422
Identifying climate refugia is key to effective biodiversity conservation under a changing climate, especially for mountain-specialist species adapted to cold conditions and highly threatened by climate warming. We combined species...

Sci Data
. 2021 Nov;
8(1):307.
PMID: 34836980
High-resolution climatic data are essential to many questions and applications in environmental research and ecology. Here we develop and implement a new semi-mechanistic downscaling approach for daily precipitation estimate that...
