Spaceborne canopy height products should be complemented with airborne laser scanning data: Towards a European canopy height model

Measuring and mapping vegetation structure is essential for understanding the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems and for informing environmental policies. Recent years have seen a growing demand for high-resolution data on vegetation structure, driving their prediction at fine resolutions (1 m - 30 m) at state, continental, and global spatial ...

Bottom–up and top–down drivers influence urbanization effects on insect herbivory in oaks

Oikos, EarlyView.
Urban forests provide essential ecosystem services, including pest control, biodiversity conservation, and human health benefits. Herbivory is a widespread biotic interaction that shapes ecosystem functions, such as primary productivity and soil fertility, which underpin these services.

Species identity and spatial scale drive context‑dependent tree diversity effects in a Finnish forest experiment

Oikos, EarlyView.
Tree species diversity is known to affect tree growth and leaf traits, which in turn can influence various ecosystem processes. However, the reported direction of these tree diversity effects is inconsistent, indicating that their outcomes depend strongly on ecological context.

Anisotropic community turn‐over at habitat edges informs on assembly drivers: simulation and empirical test on soil macrofauna

Oikos, EarlyView.
Biodiversity dynamics in heterogeneous landscapes is the result of a complex interplay between movement processes of organisms within and between habitat patches, and niche filtering processes due to spatially varying environmental conditions. Disentangling the relative influences of these different processes on community assembly and dynamics is a ...

Using participatory scenario planning to explore the synergies and trade‐offs from upland treescape expansion

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The future of land use in the UK uplands is highly debated, with growing interest in increasing tree cover and other land use changes, alongside a desire to maintain traditional land use patterns and practices. Treescape expansion is likely to result in synergies and trade‐offs between different outcomes, so integrating stakeholder preferences

Assessing canopy height measurements from ICESat-2 and GEDI orbiting LiDAR across six different biomes with G-LiHT LiDAR

Environmental Research: Ecology
The height of woody plants is a defining characteristic of forest and shrubland ecosystems because height responds to climate, soil and disturbance history.

Cryostratigraphy of Rhythmic Segregated Ice in Colluvium and Implications for Permafrost Slope Stability

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The amount and stratigraphic setting of ground ice in permafrost slopes is a key control on the style and magnitude of permafrost mass wasting. Understanding the spatial and stratigraphic variations in ground ice distribution on permafrost slopes is therefore a fundamental property in assessing the stability of permafrost hillslopes.
