Orchids in the Open: Understanding Biodiversity Beyond Madagascar's Forests
ABSTRACT Aim Orchids make up 8% of Madagascar's vascular plant species richness and are typically associated with the island's forests. Yet most of the island is covered by open ecosystems, long dismissed as degraded. This perception has contributed to their neglect, limiting our understanding of species ecology and hindering conservation action in ...

Semi‐arid ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to elevated N deposition. However, there is still a critical gap in understanding the impact of N:P imbalance by considering biophysical changes and biogeochemical cycle. This study presents the complex scale‐dependent warming and cooling effects due to altered nutrient balance on the Mediterranean semi ...

Fenced ungulate exclosure (foreground) with unfenced control plot (background). ABSTRACT Question Ungulates play a key role in influencing understory vegetation and ecosystem dynamics in temperate forests. However, how soil conditions modulate ungulate effects on understory communities remains insufficiently understood.

Vertical Trait Variation Modulates Forest Biomass Dynamics in Two Japanese Forest Types
This study examined aboveground biomass (AGB) dynamics and community‐weighted mean (CWM) values of four functional traits across three forest layers in two temperate forest types. The results showed that the relationships between CWM traits and AGB dynamics differ among vertical layers, highlighting the importance of vertical heterogeneity in trait ...

Beyond species means – the intraspecific contribution to global wood density variation
Summary Wood density is central for estimating vegetation carbon storage and a plant functional trait of great ecological and evolutionary importance. However, the global extent of wood density variation is unclear, especially at the intraspecific level. We assembled the most comprehensive wood density collection to date, including 109 626 records from
