Trade‐offs among restored ecosystem functions are context‐dependent in Mediterranean‐type regions
Ecography, EarlyView.Global biodiversity hotspots, including Mediterranean‐type ecosystems worldwide, are highly threatened by global change that alters biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and services. Some restoration activities enhance ecosystem functions by reintroducing plant species based on known relationships between plant traits and ecosystem processes.

Predicting global intraspecific trait variation of grasses
Ecography, EarlyView.Plant traits are important for understanding community assembly and ecosystem processes, yet our understanding of intraspecific trait variation (ITV) is limited. This gap in our knowledge is partially because collecting trait data across a species' entire range is impractical, let alone across the ranges of multiple species within a plant family. Using

How many trees are there in the North American boreal forest?
Ecography, EarlyView.Boreal forests, the largest terrestrial biome on Earth, are highly varied in local tree density. Despite previous attempts to estimate tree density in boreal forests, the accuracy of the estimation is unknown, leaving the question how many trees there are in boreal forests largely unanswered. Here, we compiled tree density data from 4367 plots in North

Ecography, EarlyView.Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Integrating host condition into spatiotemporal multiscale models improves virus shedding predictions
Ecography, EarlyView.Understanding where and when pathogens occur in the environment has implications for reservoir population health and infection risk. In reservoir hosts, infection status and pathogen shedding are affected by processes interacting across different scales: from landscape features affecting host location and transmission to within‐host processes affecting

Climatic resilience after extreme drought in Mediterranean shrubland plant communities
Ecography, EarlyView.Extreme climatic events are increasing with climate change, producing changes in communities' climatic characterization. So, mismatches (climatic disequilibrium, CD) between climatic conditions inferred from species' requirements (community inferred climate, CIC) and macroclimate may undergo changes with extreme climatic events.
