Biomass production of tropical trees across space and time: The shifting roles of diameter growth and wood density

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 11, Page 3141-3158, November 2025.
Diameter growth is an important and good indicator of forest carbon production. However, size‐related changes in wood density, which are usually neglected, are critical for accurate short‐ and long‐term carbon assessments, especially in tropical humid sites.

Strong scale‐dependent relationships between fine‐root function and soil properties uncovered with spatially coupled sampling

New Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 6, Page 2506-2521, June 2025.
Summary Substantial fine‐root trait variation is found at fine spatial scales but rarely linked to edaphic variation. We assessed the spatial scales of variation in fine‐root traits and adjacent soils using a spatially coupled, nested sampling scheme along a fertility gradient in a seasonally dry tropical forest tree, Handroanthus ochraceus.

Tree traits are a stronger predictor of bee traits and species richness than taxonomic diversity

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 281-292, January 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Functional traits help to understand biological diversity and the mechanism by which ecological communities are structured and how they respond to the environment. For example, the high tree species diversity within tropical forests can be grouped into a few functional ...

Ecosystem type affects how Amazonian tree species invest in stem and twig wood

Functional Ecology, Volume 38, Issue 7, Page 1486-1496, July 2024.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Wood density (WD) is a key functional trait for its importance in tree performance and in biomass calculations of forests. Yet, the variation of WD among different woody tree parts, how this varies across ecosystems, and how this influences estimates of forest carbon ...

Bornean tropical forests recovering from logging at risk of regeneration failure

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2024.
The study investigates the impact of active restoration, such as enrichment planting, on the regeneration of logged forests in North Borneo. It found that while such interventions increase initial seedling production in logged forests, this is followed by higher seedling mortality and species diversity or evenness are not enhanced compared to natural ...
