Climate tolerances and trait choices shape continental patterns of urban tree biodiversity [PDF]
, 2016 Aim: We propose and test a climate tolerance and trait choice hypothesis of urban macroecological variation in which strong filtering associated with low winter temperatures restricts urban biodiversity while weak filtering associated with warmer ...

Soil moisture dominates dryness stress on ecosystem production globally
Nature Communications, 2020 Dryness stresses vegetation and can lead to declines in productivity, increased emission of carbon, and plant mortality, but the drivers of this stress remain unclear. Here the authors show that soil moisture plays a dominant role relative to atmospheric
