Surface and Tropospheric Climatic Trends in the Galápagos Archipelago Based on the Galápagos Archipelago Refined Analysis DatasetNARA Subscribed
The Galápagos Archipelago, located on the equator in the eastern Pacific, exhibits pronounced seasonal and interannual climate variability influenced primarily by the Inter‐Tropical Convergence Zone and the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Despite its ecological significance and vulnerability to climatic changes, limited observational data has hindered long‐term analyses of climate trends in the region. This study leverage...
Analysis of the Meso‐Scale Climate of the Galápagos Archipelago by Dynamical Downscaling of Reanalysis DataNARA Subscribed
The Galápagos Archipelago exhibits a unique and high endemic biodiversity that is strongly affected by climate variability, mainly caused by the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation phenomenon. However, there exist few climate datasets for the islands and a long‐term climate dataset at the meso‐scale is not available. We present the Galápagos Archipelago Refined analysis dataset (GAR), a dynamically downscaled dataset of 2 h temporal...
Hill–Chao numbers allow decomposing gamma multifunctionality into alpha and beta componentsNARA Subscribed
Biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF) research has provided strong evidence and mechanistic underpinnings to support positive effects of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning, from single to multiple functions. This research has provided knowledge gained mainly at the local alpha scale (i.e. within ecosystems), but the increasing homogenization of landscapes in the Anthropocene has raised the potential that declining biodiv...
Intensification of land use by humans has led to a homogenization of landscapes and decreasing resilience of ecosystems globally due to a loss of biodiversity, including the majority of forests. Biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF) research has provided compelling evidence for a positive effect of biodiversity on ecosystem functions and services at the local (α‐diversity) scale, but we largely lack empirical evidence on ho...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open accessNARA Subscribed
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodivers...
