Plant biodiversity assessment through soil eDNA reflects temporal and local diversity
Abstract Several studies have shown the potential of eDNA‐based proxies for plant identification, but little is known about their spatial and temporal resolution. This limits its use for plant biodiversity assessments and monitoring of vegetation responses to environmental changes.

Forest canopies are highly complex habitats, home to a wide range of organism groups. We observed that spatial scaling of alpha and beta diversity patterns differs between crown and trunk epiphytic bryophyte communities. The evidence we provide contributes to further understanding how processes such as species interactions and environmental filtering ...

Quantifying progress toward a conservation assessment for all plants
Abstract The Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) set an ambitious target to achieve a conservation assessment for all known plant species by 2020. We consolidated digitally available plant conservation assessments and reconciled their scientific names and assessment status to predefined standards to provide a quantitative measure of progress ...

Effects of restoration practices on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests
Abstract Several restoration practices are used to mitigate and compensate for the negative effects of large‐scale forestry on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests. A comprehensive synthesis of the benefits of these practices across taxa is missing. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis on this topic.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Tropical montane cloud forests are among the most biodiverse ecosystems on earth and are vulnerable to climate change due to reliance on atmospheric moisture. Epiphytic bryophytes (i.e.

The relationship between epiphytic bryophyte species associations changes with scale. Macroclimatic niche similarity strongly influences co‐occurrence globally but less so at smaller scales. Most species interactions are positive or neutral across scales, though ~7% shift from positive at microhabitat to negative at regional scales, highlighting scale ...
