Nat Commun
. 2025 Mar;
16(1):2351.
PMID: 40064856
Wood density is a critical control on tree biomass, so poor understanding of its spatial variation can lead to large and systematic errors in forest biomass estimates and carbon maps....

Science
. 2025 Mar;
387(6738):eadl5414.
PMID: 40048518
Understanding the capacity of forests to adapt to climate change is of pivotal importance for conservation science, yet this is still widely unknown. This knowledge gap is particularly acute in...

Commun Biol
. 2025 Mar;
8(1):355.
PMID: 40033015
Plants cope with the environment by displaying large phenotypic variation. Two spectra of global plant form and function have been identified: a size spectrum from small to tall species with...

Matsuo T, Poorter L, van der Sande M, Mohammed Abdul S, Koyiba D, Opoku J, et al.
Ecology
. 2024 Dec;
106(1):e4488.
PMID: 39629674
Young tropical secondary forests play an important role in the local and global carbon cycles because of their large area and rapid biomass accumulation rates. This study examines how environmental...

Mo L, Crowther T, Maynard D, van den Hoogen J, Ma H, Bialic-Murphy L, et al.
Nat Ecol Evol
. 2024 Oct;
8(12):2195-2212.
PMID: 39406932
The density of wood is a key indicator of the carbon investment strategies of trees, impacting productivity and carbon storage. Despite its importance, the global variation in wood density and...

Science
. 2024 Oct;
386(6717):92-98.
PMID: 39361744
Tree growth and longevity trade-offs fundamentally shape the terrestrial carbon balance. Yet, we lack a unified understanding of how such trade-offs vary across the world's forests. By mapping life history...

Schorn M, Kambach S, Chazdon R, Craven D, Farrior C, Meave J, et al.
Ecology
. 2024 May;
105(7):e4321.
PMID: 38763891
Secondary tropical forests play an increasingly important role in carbon budgets and biodiversity conservation. Understanding successional trajectories is therefore imperative for guiding forest restoration and climate change mitigation efforts. Forest...

Matsuo T, Martinez-Ramos M, Onoda Y, Bongers F, Lohbeck M, Poorter L
Oecologia
. 2024 May;
205(1):1-11.
PMID: 38727828
Light competition is thought to drive successional shifts in species dominance in closed vegetations, but few studies have assessed this for species-rich and vertically structured tropical forests. We analyzed how...

Sci Adv
. 2024 Apr;
10(15):eadl4800.
PMID: 38608026
An increased frequency and severity of droughts and heat waves have resulted in increased tree mortality and forest dieback across the world, but underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We used...

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
. 2024 Jan;
99(3):928-949.
PMID: 38226776
The core principle shared by most theories and models of succession is that, following a major disturbance, plant-environment feedback dynamics drive a directional change in the plant community. The most...
