Landscape, stand and tree characteristics influence the distribution of lightning damage in Central African forests

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The impact of lightning in tropical forests remains uncertain. Specifically, the factors that influence the spatial distribution of lightning damage within forests remain unknown.

How vulnerable are amphibians to climate change? A mechanistic perspective

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Amphibians are frequently identified as highly vulnerable to climate change, yet the mechanisms driving this sensitivity remain uncertain. Approaches that explicitly link physiological mechanisms to environmental variation provide powerful tools for forecasting climate ...

Shrubs inhibit plant diseases by intercepting light in alpine meadows

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change is disproportionately impacting mountain ecosystems, leading to widespread shrub expansion into alpine meadows. Shrub encroachment alters the albedo, carbon budget and warming rate in alpine grasslands, but it remains challenging to predict how shrub ...

Mycorrhizal symbiosis and environmental conditions shape understory herb diversity in a large temperate forest region

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understorey herbaceous plants are a vital component of forest biodiversity in temperate forests. However, the mechanisms underlying their community assembly and species coexistence remain poorly understood.

Forest type and leaf habit mediate thermal and drought tolerance across a tropical elevational gradient

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding how local climate patterns select for thermal and drought tolerance traits is needed to predict differential responses to climate change across complex ecosystems.

Spatiotemporal dynamics and machine learning‐based prediction of above‐ground biomass in the Indus Delta mangroves

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mangrove forests are important blue carbon ecosystems, yet long‐term above‐ground biomass (AGB) dynamics in arid deltaic systems remain poorly understood. Here, we integrated field‐derived AGB data with multisource remote sensing and machine learning models (random ...
