Tree species diversity drives above‐ground carbon sequestration through light‐related trait shifts

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Functional traits can vary in response to tree species mixing, which in turn might influence biomass production and, consequently, carbon (C) sequestration in diverse forests.

Decreasing water availability reduces productivity in Swiss forests along an altitudinal gradient

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Forests are one of the most important terrestrial carbon sinks, but are increasingly under pressure due to drought, heat and the occurrence of extreme events. There are opposing longer term trends for European forest growth reported, and severe drought and disturbance ...

Holocen history of vegetation at “Uroczysko Mokradła” (SW Poland) – paleobotanical research

open access: yesActa Agrobotanica, 2016
Two peat bogs were studied in the Bory Dolnośląskie, the forest complex in Lower Silesia (Poland). An Instorf drill was used to collect two peat profiles from the deepest places.

Stratum change of Drapetisca socialis re-examined (Araneae, Linyphiidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
It has been widely accepted that the biology of Drapetisca socialis includes a pronounced stratum change of this species from the forest soil into the crowns of beech trees. On old pine trees, however, D.

Database Beech Forests from Romanian Carpathians [PDF]

open access: yesBiodiversity & Ecology, 2012
The Database Beech Forests from Romanian Carpathians (GIVD ID EU-RO-004) contains releves (25-1,000 m) taken from the Romanian literature (1944 to 2008). The releves represent beech forests from Romanian Carpathians. Species data (presence/absence) is supplemented with information regarding: canopy cover, herb cover, slope, altitude and aspect.

The litter C/N ratio governs the dual role of ectomycorrhizal fungi in decomposition and plant nutrition absorption

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) modulate litter decomposition and facilitate nutrient acquisition through the soil–mycorrhiza–plant pathway. Although litter chemistry has been considered an important factor affecting litter decomposition, how it regulates EcMF‐induced ...

Warm Spring Weather Alters Calling Phenology of Four Sympatric Early‐Breeding Anurans

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
An unusually warm March in 2024 (“false spring”) followed by freezing temperatures allowed us to assess the impact of a weather event on an amphibian community. The calling activity of all four species was associated with increasing temperature, and the first date of calling was advanced by 11–18 days.
