Species loss due to nutrient addition increases with spatial scale in global grasslands - Eric W. Seabloom; Evan Batzer; Jonathan M. Chase; W. Stanley Harpole; Peter B. Adler; Sumanta Bagchi; Jonathan D. Bakker; Isabel C. Barrio; Lori Biederman; Elizabeth H. Boughton; Miguel N. Bugalho; Maria C. Caldeira; et al. (Ecology Letters, 2021)
The effects of altered nutrient supplies and herbivore density on species diversity vary with spatial scale, because coexistence mechanisms are scale dependent. This scale dependence may alter the shape of the species–area relationship (SAR), which can be described by changes in species richness ( S ) as a power function of the sample area ( A ): S = cA z , where c and z are constants. We analysed the effects of experimental manipulations of nutrient supply and herbivore density on species richness across a range of scales (0.01–75 m 2 ) at 30 grasslands in 10 countries. We found that nutrient addition reduced the number of species that could co‐occur locally, indicated by the SAR intercepts (log c ), but did not affect the SAR slopes ( z ). As a result, proportional species loss due to nutrient enrichment was largely unchanged across sampling scales, whereas total species loss increased over threefold across our range of sampling scales.

sPlotOpen – An environmentally balanced, open‐access, global dataset of vegetation plots - Francesco Maria Sabatini; Jonathan Lenoir; Tarek Hattab; Elise Aimee Arnst; Milan Chytrý; Jürgen Dengler; Patrice De Ruffray; Stephan M. Hennekens; Ute Jandt; Florian Jansen; Borja Jiménez‐Alfaro; Jens Kattge; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2021)
Motivation Assessing biodiversity status and trends in plant communities is critical for understanding, quantifying and predicting the effects of global change on ecosystems. Vegetation plots record the occurrence or abundance of all plant species co‐occurring within delimited local areas. This allows species absences to be inferred, information seldom provided by existing global plant datasets. Although many vegetation plots have been recorded, most are not available to the global research community. A recent initiative, called ‘sPlot’, compiled the first global vegetation plot database, and continues to grow and curate it. The sPlot database, however, is extremely unbalanced spatially and environmentally, and is not open‐access. Here, we address both these issues by (a) resampling the vegetation plots using several environmental variables as sampling strata and (b) securing permission from data holders of 105 local‐to‐regional datasets to openly release data. We thus present sPlotOpen, the largest open‐access dataset of vegetation plots ever released. sPlotOpen can be used to explore global diversity at the plant community level, as ground truth data in remote sensing applications, or as a baseline for biodiversity monitoring. Main types of variable contained Vegetation plots ( n = 95,104) recording cover or abundance of naturally co‐occurring vascular plant species within delimited areas. sPlotOpen contains three partially overlapping resampled datasets ( c . 50,000 plots each), to be used as replicates in global analyses. Besides geographical location, date, plot size, biome, elevation, slope, aspect, vegetation type, naturalness, coverage of various vegetation layers, and source dataset, plot‐level data also include community‐weighted means and variances of 18 plant functional traits from the TRY Plant Trait Database. Spatial location and grain Global, 0.01–40,000 m². Time period and grain 1888–2015, recording dates. Major taxa and level of measurement 42,677 vascular plant taxa, plot‐level records. Software format Three main matrices (.csv), relationally linked.

Real-Time Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller for Multiple Degrees of Freedom Wave Energy Converters with Non-Ideal Power Take-Off - Ali S. Haider; Ted K. A. Brekken; Alan McCall (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
An increase in wave energy converter (WEC) efficiency requires not only consideration of the nonlinear effects in the WEC dynamics and the power take-off (PTO) mechanisms, but also more integrated treatment of the whole system, i.e., the buoy dynamics, the PTO system, and the control strategy. It results in an optimization formulation that has a nonquadratic and nonstandard cost functional. This article presents the application of real-time nonlinear model predictive controller (NMPC) to two degrees of freedom point absorber type WEC with highly nonlinear PTO characteristics. The nonlinear effects, such as the fluid viscous drag, are also included in the plant dynamics. The controller is implemented on a real-time target machine, and the WEC device is emulated in real-time using the WECSIM toolbox. The results for the successful performance of the design are presented for irregular waves under linear and nonlinear hydrodynamic conditions.

Rethinking resilience and development: A coevolutionary perspective - L. Jamila Haider; Maja Schlüter; Carl Folke; Belinda Reyers (Ambio, 2021)
The interdependence of social and ecological processes is broadly acknowledged in the pursuit to enhance human wellbeing and prosperity for all. Yet, development interventions continue to prioritise economic development and short-term goals with little consideration of social-ecological interdependencies, ultimately undermining resilience and therefore efforts to deliver development outcomes. We propose and advance a coevolutionary perspective for rethinking development and its relationship to resilience. The perspective rests on three propositions: (1) social-ecological relationships coevolve through processes of variation, selection and retention, which are manifest in practices; (2) resilience is the capacity to filter practices (i.e. to influence what is selected and retained); and (3) development is a coevolutionary process shaping pathways of persistence, adaptation or transformation. Development interventions affect and are affected by social–ecological relationships and their coevolutionary dynamics, with consequences for resilience, often with perverse outcomes. A coevolutionary approach enables development interventions to better consider social–ecological interdependencies and dynamics. Adopting a coevolutionary perspective, which we illustrate with a case on agricultural biodiversity, encourages a radical rethinking of how resilience and development are conceptualised and practiced across global to local scales.

Potenzial und Grenzen statistischer Unfallzahlen im österreichischen Berg- und Tunnelbau - Katharina Haider; Michael Halwachs; Nikolaus August Sifferlinger (BHM Berg- und Hüttenmännische Monatshefte, 2021)
Zusammenfassung Arbeits- und Gesundheitsschutz hat in allen Bereichen höchste Priorität. Um Maßnahmen zur Unfallvermeidung stetig zu verbessern, müssen diese ständig anhand des tatsächlichen Unfallgeschehens analysiert und evaluiert werden. Die wichtigsten Ansatzpunkte einer aktiven und wirksamen Unfallprävention können in einem ersten Schritt durch eine Auswertung von statistischen Unfallzahlen identifiziert werden. In diesem Artikel werden die Grundlagen der Methodik der Europäischen Statistik über Arbeitsunfälle (ESAW) dargelegt und Datensätze der Allgemeinen Unfallversicherungsanstalt (AUVA) zur statistischen Darstellung des Unfallgeschehens im österreichischen Berg- und Tunnelbau herangezogen. Das daraus generierte Unfallspektrum wird für den Bergbau mit den Daten aus den Montanhandbüchern verglichen. Zudem werden die Daten des Berg- und Tunnelbaus gegenübergestellt. Es zeigt sich, dass aus den zusammengefassten Daten der statistischen Unfallzahlen kein signifikanter Zuwachs an Wissen über Unfallursachen gewonnen werden kann. Die meisten Unfälle betreffen die oberen und unteren Extremitäten und werden durch Verlust der Kontrolle über Arbeitsmittel, Sturz/Absturz von Personen und Bewegung des Körpers ohne und mit körperlicher Belastung verursacht. Der Fokus wird daher darauf gelegt, wie die Datensätze und die Variablen für statistische Auswertungen handzuhaben und zu filtern sind. Es wird diskutiert, welche Möglichkeiten und Probleme sich aus der Zuordnung von Unfällen zu Wirtschaftsklassen ergeben. Als Alternative wird untersucht, ob die Codierung der ESAW genutzt werden kann, um Unfälle nach bestimmten Arbeitsumgebungen zu filtern und den Bereichen „über Tage“ und „unter Tage“ zuzuordnen. Dabei ergeben sich keine eindeutigen Ergebnisse der Korrelation zwischen den Wirtschaftsklassen des Berg- und Tunnelbaus und den Arbeitsumgebungen. Letztendlich können konkrete Maßnahmen nur dann gesetzt werden, wenn der genaue Unfallhergang mit all den beteiligten Faktoren, Gegenständen, Ursachen und Kausalitäten bekannt ist.

Global patterns and drivers of alpine plant species richness - Riccardo Testolin; Fabio Attorre; Peter Borchardt; Robert F. Brand; Helge Bruelheide; Milan Chytrý; Michele De Sanctis; Jiri Dolezal; Manfred Finckh; Sylvia Haider; Andreas Hemp; Ute Jandt; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2021)
Aim Alpine ecosystems differ in area, macroenvironment and biogeographical history across the Earth, but the relationship between these factors and plant species richness is still unexplored. Here, we assess the global patterns of plant species richness in alpine ecosystems and their association with environmental, geographical and historical factors at regional and community scales. Location Global. Time period Data collected between 1923 and 2019. Major taxa studied Vascular plants. Methods We used a dataset representative of global alpine vegetation, consisting of 8,928 plots sampled within 26 ecoregions and six biogeographical realms, to estimate regional richness using sample‐based rarefaction and extrapolation. Then, we evaluated latitudinal patterns of regional and community richness with generalized additive models. Using environmental, geographical and historical predictors from global raster layers, we modelled regional and community richness in a mixed‐effect modelling framework. Results The latitudinal pattern of regional richness peaked around the equator and at mid‐latitudes, in response to current and past alpine area, isolation and the variation in soil pH among regions. At the community level, species richness peaked at mid‐latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, despite a considerable within‐region variation. Community richness was related to macroclimate and historical predictors, with strong effects of other spatially structured factors. Main conclusions In contrast to the well‐known latitudinal diversity gradient, the alpine plant species richness of some temperate regions in Eurasia was comparable to that of hyperdiverse tropical ecosystems, such as the páramo. The species richness of these putative hotspot regions is explained mainly by the extent of alpine area and their glacial history, whereas community richness depends on local environmental factors. Our results highlight hotspots of species richness at mid‐latitudes, indicating that the diversity of alpine plants is linked to regional idiosyncrasies and to the historical prevalence of alpine ecosystems, rather than current macroclimatic gradients.

Fertilized graminoids intensify negative drought effects on grassland productivity - Kevin Van Sundert; Mohammed A. S. Arfin Khan; Siddharth Bharath; Yvonne M. Buckley; Maria C. Caldeira; Ian Donohue; Maren Dubbert; Anne Ebeling; Nico Eisenhauer; Anu Eskelinen; Alain Finn; Tobias Gebauer; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Droughts can strongly affect grassland productivity and biodiversity, but responses differ widely. Nutrient availability may be a critical factor explaining this variation, but is often ignored in analyses of drought responses. Here, we used a standardized nutrient addition experiment covering 10 European grasslands to test if full‐factorial nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium addition affected plant community responses to inter‐annual variation in drought stress and to the extreme summer drought of 2018 in Europe. We found that nutrient addition amplified detrimental drought effects on community aboveground biomass production. Drought effects also differed between functional groups, with a negative effect on graminoid but not forb biomass production. Our results imply that eutrophication in grasslands, which promotes dominance of drought‐sensitive graminoids over forbs, amplifies detrimental drought effects. In terms of climate change adaptation, agricultural management would benefit from taking into account differential drought impacts on fertilized versus unfertilized grasslands, which differ in ecosystem services they provide to society.

Empirical assessment of rockfall and debris flow risk along the Karakoram Highway, Pakistan - Sajid Ali; Rashid Haider; Wahid Abbas; Muhammad Basharat; Klaus Reicherter (Natural Hazards, 2021)
The Karakoram Highway links north Pakistan with southwest China. It passes through unique geomorphological, geological and tectonic setting. This study focused 200-km-long section of the highway starting from Besham until Chilas. Landslides are frequent and are mostly triggered by torrential rain during Monsoon and Westerlies, leading to highway blockade. Rockfall and debris flow are prime mode of slope failures. Regional to site-specific approach was implemented to assess risk associated with these two modes. Remote sensing-based techniques were used to identify potential hazardous sites, which were further investigated for risk assessment. Modified Pierson’s rockfall hazard rating system (RHRS) rated potential rockfalls, whereas semi-quantitative technique was employed to assess debris flows. Normalized scores of each site shaped the final map, further classified into four zones: very high, high, intermediate and low risk.

Enduring sustainability challenges requires a new model of collective leadership that embraces critical reflection, inclusivity and care. Leadership collectives can support a move in academia from metrics to merits, from a focus on career to care, and enact a shift from disciplinary to inter- and trans-disciplinary research. Academic organisations need to reorient their training programs, work ethics and reward systems to encourage collective excellence and to allow space for future leaders to develop and enact a radically re-imagined vision of how to lead as a collective with care for people and the planet.

Maclean; Olivier Roupsard; Eduardo Fuentes‐Lillo; Rafael A. García; Loïc Pellissier; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Current analyses and predictions of spatially explicit patterns and processes in ecology most often rely on climate data interpolated from standardized weather stations. This interpolated climate data represents long‐term average thermal conditions at coarse spatial resolutions only. Hence, many climate‐forcing factors that operate at fine spatiotemporal resolutions are overlooked. This is particularly important in relation to effects of observation height (e.g. vegetation, snow and soil characteristics) and in habitats varying in their exposure to radiation, moisture and wind (e.g. topography, radiative forcing or cold‐air pooling). Since organisms living close to the ground relate more strongly to these microclimatic conditions than to free‐air temperatures, microclimatic ground and near‐surface data are needed to provide realistic forecasts of the fate of such organisms under anthropogenic climate change, as well as of the functioning of the ecosystems they live in. To fill this critical gap, we highlight a call for temperature time series submissions to SoilTemp, a geospatial database initiative compiling soil and near‐surface temperature data from all over the world. Currently, this database contains time series from 7,538 temperature sensors from 51 countries across all key biomes. The database will pave the way toward an improved global understanding of microclimate and bridge the gap between the available climate data and the climate at fine spatiotemporal resolutions relevant to most organisms and ecosystem processes.

Analysis of seepage loss from concrete lined irrigation canals in Punjab, Pakistan - Zulqarnain Shah; Hamza Gabriel; Sajjad Haider; Turab Jafri (Irrigation and Drainage, 2020)
/RÉSUMÉ (ABSTRACT for English and RÉSUMÉ for French) A significant amount of water is lost in canals due to seepage. This could be saved to irrigate barren land. This article presents the measured seepage data by the inflow‐outflow method on seven so‐called concrete‐lined distributary canals in Punjab, Pakistan. A special feature of the inflow‐outflow method is the relatively long lengths of the canal reaches (9 to 5 km), which is the longest one could find in the literature so far. The seepage in canals is also calculated using five empirical formulae. The results show that the Swamee and the Punmia formulae performed admirably with mean percent errors of −20% and + 19% respectively. Moritz formula stood at +53% while Kostiakov scored +158%. The research also proposed a slight modification in the Swamee formula whereby, instead of the canal width, the surface water width was used in the calculation of the dimensionless variable F. This led to a beneficial effect of bringing down the percent mean error from −42% to −20%. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Impact of β-glycerophosphate on the bioenergetic profile of vascular smooth muscle cells - Ioana Alesutan; Franco Moritz; Tatjana Haider; Sun Shouxuan; Can Gollmann-Tepeköylü; Johannes Holfeld; Burkert Pieske; Florian Lang; Kai-Uwe Eckardt; Silke Sophie Heinzmann; Jakob Voelkl (Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2020)
In chronic kidney disease, hyperphosphatemia is a key pathological factor promoting medial vascular calcification, a common complication associated with cardiovascular events and mortality. This active pathophysiological process involves osteo-/chondrogenic transdifferentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) via complex intracellular mechanisms that are still incompletely understood. Little is known about the effects of phosphate on the bioenergetic profile of VSMCs during the onset of this process. Therefore, the present study explored the effects of the phosphate donor β-glycerophosphate on cellular bioenergetics of VSMCs. Mitochondrial and glycolytic functions were determined utilizing extracellular flux analysis in primary human aortic VSMCs following exposure to β-glycerophosphate. In VSMCs, β-glycerophosphate increased basal respiration, mitochondrial ATP production as well as proton leak and decreased spare respiratory capacity and coupling efficiency, but did not modify non-mitochondrial or maximal respiration. β-Glycerophosphate-treated VSMCs had higher ability to increase mitochondrial glutamine and long-chain fatty acid usage as oxidation substrates to meet their energy demand. β-Glycerophosphate did not modify glycolytic function or basal and glycolytic proton efflux rate. In contrast, β-glycerophosphate increased non-glycolytic acidification. β-Glycerophosphate-treated VSMCs had a more oxidative and less glycolytic phenotype, but a reduced ability to respond to stressed conditions via mitochondrial respiration. Moreover, compounds targeting components of mitochondrial respiration modulated β-glycerophosphate-induced oxidative stress, osteo-/chondrogenic signalling and mineralization of VSMCs. In conclusion, β-glycerophosphate modifies key parameters of mitochondrial function and cellular bioenergetics in VSMCs that may contribute to the onset of phenotypical transdifferentiation and calcification. These observations advance the understanding of the role of energy metabolism in VSMC physiology and pathophysiology of vascular calcification during hyperphosphatemia.

Global distribution of the intensity and frequency of hourly precipitation and their responses to ENSO - Xiao-Feng Li; Stephen Blenkinsop; Renaud Barbero; Jingjing Yu; Elizabeth Lewis; Geert Lenderink; Selma Guerreiro; Steven Chan; Yafei Li; Haider Ali; Roberto Villalobos Herrera; Elizabeth Kendon; et al. (Climate Dynamics, 2020)
We investigate the global distribution of hourly precipitation and its connections with the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) using both satellite precipitation estimates and the global sub-daily rainfall gauge dataset. Despite limited moisture availability over continental surfaces, we find that the highest mean and extreme hourly precipitation intensity (HPI) values are mainly located over continents rather than over oceans, a feature that is not evident in daily or coarser resolution data. After decomposing the total precipitation into the product of the number of wet hours (NWH) and HPI, we find that ENSO modulates total precipitation mainly through the NWH, while its effects on HPI are more limited. The contrasting responses to ENSO in NWH and HPI is particularly apparent at the rising branches of the Pacific and Atlantic Walker Circulations, and is also notable over land-based gauges in Australia, Malaysia, the USA, Japan and Europe across the whole distribution of hourly precipitation (i.e. extreme, moderate and light precipitation). These results provide new insights into the global precipitation distribution and its response to ENSO forcing.

Background and aims Since its emergence in the mid‐20th century, invasion biology has matured into a productive research field addressing questions of fundamental and applied importance. Not only has the number of empirical studies increased through time, but also has the number of competing, overlapping and, in some cases, contradictory hypotheses about biological invasions. To make these contradictions and redundancies explicit, and to gain insight into the field’s current theoretical structure, we developed and applied a Delphi approach to create a consensus network of 39 existing invasion hypotheses. Results The resulting network was analysed with a link‐clustering algorithm that revealed five concept clusters (resource availability, biotic interaction, propagule, trait and Darwin’s clusters) representing complementary areas in the theory of invasion biology. The network also displays hypotheses that link two or more clusters, called connecting hypotheses , which are important in determining network structure. The network indicates hypotheses that are logically linked either positively (77 connections of support) or negatively (that is, they contradict each other; 6 connections). Significance The network visually synthesizes how invasion biology’s predominant hypotheses are conceptually related to each other, and thus, reveals an emergent structure – a conceptual map – that can serve as a navigation tool for scholars, practitioners and students, both inside and outside of the field of invasion biology, and guide the development of a more coherent foundation of theory. Additionally, the outlined approach can be more widely applied to create a conceptual map for the larger fields of ecology and biogeography.

Similar factors underlie tree abundance in forests in native and alien ranges - Masha T. van der Sande; Helge Bruelheide; Wayne Dawson; Jürgen Dengler; Franz Essl; Richard Field; Sylvia Haider; Mark van Kleunen; Holger Kreft; Joern Pagel; Jan Pergl; Oliver Purschke; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2020)
Aim Alien plant species can cause severe ecological and economic problems, and therefore attract a lot of research interest in biogeography and related fields. To identify potential future invasive species, we need to better understand the mechanisms underlying the abundances of invasive tree species in their new ranges, and whether these mechanisms differ between their native and alien ranges. Here, we test two hypotheses: that greater relative abundance is promoted by (a) functional difference from locally co‐occurring trees, and (b) higher values than locally co‐occurring trees for traits linked to competitive ability. Location Global. Time period Recent. Major taxa studied Trees. Methods We combined three global plant databases: sPlot vegetation‐plot database, TRY plant trait database and Global Naturalized Alien Flora (GloNAF) database. We used a hierarchical Bayesian linear regression model to assess the factors associated with variation in local abundance, and how these relationships vary between native and alien ranges and depend on species’ traits. Results In both ranges, species reach highest abundance if they are functionally similar to co‐occurring species, yet are taller and have higher seed mass and wood density than co‐occurring species. Main conclusions Our results suggest that light limitation leads to strong environmental and biotic filtering, and that it is advantageous to be taller and have denser wood. The striking similarities in abundance between native and alien ranges imply that information from tree species’ native ranges can be used to predict in which habitats introduced species may become dominant.

Aim To disentangle the influence of environmental factors at different spatial grains (regional and local) on fern and lycophyte species richness and to ask how regional and plot‐level richness are related to each other. Location Global. Taxon Ferns and lycophytes. Methods We explored fern and lycophyte species richness at two spatial grains, regional (hexagonal grid cells of 7,666 km 2 ) and plot level (300–500 m 2 ), in relation to environmental data at regional and local grains (the 7,666 km 2 hexagonal grid cells and 4 km 2 square grid cells, respectively). For the regional grain, we obtained species richness data for 1,243 spatial units and used them together with climatic and topographical predictors to model global fern richness. For the plot‐level grain, we collated a global dataset of nearly 83,000 vegetation plots with a surface area in the range 300–500 m 2 in which all fern and lycophyte species had been counted. We used structural equation modelling to identify which regional and local factors have the biggest effect on plot‐level fern and lycophyte species richness worldwide. We investigate how plot‐level richness is related to modelled regional richness at the plot's location. Results Plot‐level fern and lycophyte species richness were best explained by models allowing a link between regional environment and plot‐level richness. A link between regional richness and plot‐level richness was essential, as models without it were rejected, while models without the regional environment‐plot‐level richness link were still valid but had a worse goodness‐of‐fit value. Plot‐level richness showed a hump‐shaped relationship with regional richness. Main conclusions Regional environment and regional fern and lycophyte species richness each are important determinants of plot‐level richness, and the inclusion of one does not substitute the inclusion of the other. Plot‐level richness increases with regional richness until a saturation point is reached, after which plot‐level richness decreases despite increasing regional richness, possibly reflecting species interactions.

Comparing temperature data sources for use in species distribution models: From in‐situ logging to remote sensing - Jonas J. Lembrechts; Jonathan Lenoir; Nina Roth; Tarek Hattab; Ann Milbau; Sylvia Haider; Loïc Pellissier; Aníbal Pauchard; Amanda Ratier Backes; Romina D. Dimarco; Martin A. Nuñez; Juha Aalto; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2019)
Aim Although species distribution models (SDMs) traditionally link species occurrences to free‐air temperature data at coarse spatio‐temporal resolution, the distribution of organisms might instead be driven by temperatures more proximal to their habitats. Several solutions are currently available, such as downscaled or interpolated coarse‐grained free‐air temperatures, satellite‐measured land surface temperatures (LST) or in‐situ‐measured soil temperatures. A comprehensive comparison of temperature data sources and their performance in SDMs is, however, currently lacking. Location Northern Scandinavia. Time period 1970–2017. Major taxa studied Higher plants. Methods We evaluated different sources of temperature data (WorldClim, CHELSA, MODIS, E‐OBS, topoclimate and soil temperature from miniature data loggers), differing in spatial resolution (from 1″ to 0.1°), measurement focus (free‐air, ground‐surface or soil temperature) and temporal extent (year‐long versus long‐term averages), and used them to fit SDMs for 50 plant species with different growth forms in a high‐latitudinal mountain region. Results Differences between these temperature data sources originating from measurement focus and temporal extent overshadow the effects of temporal climatic differences and spatio‐temporal resolution, with elevational lapse rates ranging from −0.6°C per 100 m for long‐term free‐air temperature data to −0.2°C per 100 m for in‐situ soil temperatures. Most importantly, we found that the performance of the temperature data in SDMs depended on the growth forms of species. The use of in‐situ soil temperatures improved the explanatory power of our SDMs ( R 2 on average +16%), especially for forbs and graminoids ( R 2 +24 and +21% on average, respectively) compared with the other data sources. Main conclusions We suggest that future studies using SDMs should use the temperature dataset that best reflects the ecology of the species, rather than automatically using coarse‐grained data from WorldClim or CHELSA.

Motivation The Tundra Trait Team (TTT) database includes field‐based measurements of key traits related to plant form and function at multiple sites across the tundra biome. This dataset can be used to address theoretical questions about plant strategy and trade‐offs, trait–environment relationships and environmental filtering, and trait variation across spatial scales, to validate satellite data, and to inform Earth system model parameters. Main types of variable contained The database contains 91,970 measurements of 18 plant traits. The most frequently measured traits (> 1,000 observations each) include plant height, leaf area, specific leaf area, leaf fresh and dry mass, leaf dry matter content, leaf nitrogen, carbon and phosphorus content, leaf C:N and N:P, seed mass, and stem specific density. Spatial location and grain Measurements were collected in tundra habitats in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, including Arctic sites in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Fennoscandia and Siberia, alpine sites in the European Alps, Colorado Rockies, Caucasus, Ural Mountains, Pyrenees, Australian Alps, and Central Otago Mountains (New Zealand), and sub‐Antarctic Marion Island. More than 99% of observations are georeferenced. Time period and grain All data were collected between 1964 and 2018. A small number of sites have repeated trait measurements at two or more time periods. Major taxa and level of measurement Trait measurements were made on 978 terrestrial vascular plant species growing in tundra habitats. Most observations are on individuals (86%), while the remainder represent plot or site means or maximums per species. Software format csv file and GitHub repository with data cleaning scripts in R; contribution to TRY plant trait database ( www.try-db.org ) to be included in the next version release.

Mountain roads and non‐native species modify elevational patterns of plant diversity - Sylvia Haider; Christoph Kueffer; Helge Bruelheide; Tim Seipel; Jake M. Alexander; Lisa J. Rew; José Ramón Arévalo; Lohengrin A. Cavieres; Keith L. McDougall; Ann Milbau; Bridgett J. Naylor; Karina Speziale; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2018)
Aim We investigated patterns of species richness and community dissimilarity along elevation gradients using globally replicated, standardized surveys of vascular plants. We asked how these patterns of diversity are influenced by anthropogenic pressures (road construction and non‐native species). Location Global. Time period 2008–2015. Major taxa studied Vascular plants. Methods Native and non‐native vascular plant species were recorded in 943 plots along 25 elevation gradients, in nine mountain regions, on four continents. Sampling took place in plots along and away from roads. We analysed the effects of elevation and distance from road on species richness patterns and community dissimilarity (beta‐diversity), and assessed how non‐native species modified such elevational diversity patterns. Results Globally, native and total species richness showed a unimodal relationship with elevation that peaked at lower‐mid elevations, but these patterns were altered along roads and due to non‐native species. Differences in elevational species richness patterns between regions disappeared along roadsides, and non‐native species changed the patterns’ character in all study regions. Community dissimilarity was reduced along roadsides and through non‐native species. We also found a significant elevational decay of beta‐diversity, which however was not affected by roads or non‐native species. Main conclusions Idiosyncratic native species richness patterns in plots away from roads implicate region‐specific mechanisms underlying these patterns. However, along roadsides a clearer elevational signal emerged and species richness mostly peaked at mid‐elevations. We conclude that both roads and non‐native species lead to a homogenization of species richness patterns and plant communities in mountains.

Burgess; Franz Essl; Sylvia Haider; Christoph Kueffer; Keith McDougall; Ann Milbau; Martin A. Nuñez; Aníbal Pauchard; Wolfgang Rabitsch; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2018)
Rapid climatic changes and increasing human influence at high elevations around the world will have profound impacts on mountain biodiversity. However, forecasts from statistical models (e.g. species distribution models) rarely consider that plant community changes could substantially lag behind climatic changes, hindering our ability to make temporally realistic projections for the coming century. Indeed, the magnitudes of lags, and the relative importance of the different factors giving rise to them, remain poorly understood. We review evidence for three types of lag: “dispersal lags” affecting plant species’ spread along elevational gradients, “establishment lags” following their arrival in recipient communities, and “extinction lags” of resident species. Variation in lags is explained by variation among species in physiological and demographic responses, by effects of altered biotic interactions, and by aspects of the physical environment. Of these, altered biotic interactions could contribute substantially to establishment and extinction lags, yet impacts of biotic interactions on range dynamics are poorly understood. We develop a mechanistic community model to illustrate how species turnover in future communities might lag behind simple expectations based on species’ range shifts with unlimited dispersal. The model shows a combined contribution of altered biotic interactions and dispersal lags to plant community turnover along an elevational gradient following climate warming. Our review and simulation support the view that accounting for disequilibrium range dynamics will be essential for realistic forecasts of patterns of biodiversity under climate change, with implications for the conservation of mountain species and the ecosystem functions they provide.
