Towards an evidence‐based and research‐driven restoration strategy for Britain's temperate rainforests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Woodlands globally are threatened by environmental change and biodiversity loss. Temperate rainforests are an ecologically rich ecosystem found in wet regions of the temperate zone, and Britain has the potential for major temperate rainforest coverage in its nature‐depleted landscape.

Predicting net primary productivity response to multiple extreme climate drivers in Inner Mongolia

Environmental Research Letters
Extreme climate events (ECEs) are increasingly frequent in Inner Mongolia (IM), threatening vegetation productivity. While previous studies have examined vegetation responses to individual historical ECEs, knowledge of future vegetation dynamics under ...

Considering parameter seasonal variation to enhance process-based ecosystem model performance, evidence from the SWH model

Ecological Indicators
Modeling and partitioning ecosystem evapotranspiration (ET) are critical for predicting how ecosystem water cycles respond to global climate change. In this study, we used the widely applied SWH model, an ET partitioning model, as an example.

The importance of large-diameter trees in the wet tropical rainforests of Australia.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Large trees are keystone structures in many terrestrial ecosystems. They contribute disproportionately to reproduction, recruitment and succession, and influence the structure, dynamics and diversity of forests.

The effects of land use change on native dung beetle diversity and function in Australia’s Wet Tropics [PDF]

, 2016
The impacts of land use change on biodiversity and ecosystem functions are variable, particularly in fragmented tropical rainforest systems with high diversity.

Simulated elephant foraging alters tree root exudation rates: Species‐specific responses and implications for belowground carbon dynamics in tropical forests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Asian elephants play crucial roles in ecosystem functioning, and their interactions with plants influence above‐ and belowground carbon cycling. We tested whether their mechanically destructive foraging triggers short‐term, stress‐induced shifts in tree root exudation, an underappreciated pathway linking herbivory to belowground carbon processes.

Environmental changes during secondary succession in a tropical dry forest in Mexico [PDF]

, 2011
Vegetation and environment change mutually during secondary succession, yet the idiosyncrasies of the vegetation effect on the understorey environment are poorly understood. To test whether the successional understorey environment changes predictably and
