What controls forest litter decomposition? A coordinated distributed teabag experiment across ten mountains

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Litter decomposition in mountainous forest ecosystems is an essential process that affects carbon and nutrient cycling. However, the contribution of litter decomposition to terrestrial ecosystems is difficult to estimate accurately because of the limited comparability of different studies and limited data on local microclimatic and non‐climatic factors.

Marcescence and prostrate growth in tree ferns are adaptations to cold tolerance

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Cold tolerance strategies in plants vary from structural to biochemical permitting many plants to survive and grow on sites that experience freezing conditions intermittently. Although tree ferns occur predominantly across the tropics, they also occur in temperate zones and occasionally in areas that experience sub‐zero temperatures, and how these ...

Ecological trait divergence over evolutionary time underlies the origin and maintenance of tropical spider diversity

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 4, April 2025.
Relative to its size, tropical Asia is likely to be the richest region in terms of biodiversity. However, the factors of species diversity formation and maintenance in Southeast (SE) Asia and neighboring regions remain poorly understood. Here we infer the evolutionary relationships within psilodercid spiders by incorporating fossil information into a ...

Parsimonious machine learning for the global mapping of aboveground biomass potential

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Advances in computational power and methods, and the widespread availability of remote sensing data have driven the development of machine learning models for estimating global carbon storage. Current models often rely on dozens of predictor variables to estimate aboveground biomass density (AGBD), resulting in accurate but complex models that are ...

Drier, more seasonal climates strengthen coordination of hydraulic, leaf economic and reproductive strategies in subtropical forest tree communities

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Trade‐offs relating to resource acquisition and conservation, reproduction and longevity generate considerable trait variation among co‐occurring tree species, yet little is known about how the nature and strength of these trade‐offs shift along gradients of resource availability.
