Biodiversity loss threatens forest ecosystem stability and functioning, while measures to enhance biodiversity trade-off with economic performance. Native tree-species mixtures are promoted to support associated taxa but usually underperform economically compared to non-native species, both in pure and admixed stands. Quantifying ecological–economic trade-offs remains challenging due to uncertainties in economic and biodiversi...

Climate change challenges forestry in temperate regions, with drought and insect infestations affecting major tree species. Introducing drought-tolerant non-native species into managed forests is a widely discussed adaptive strategy. However, the impact of such interventions on forest nitrogen (N) cycling are still unknown. Here, we investigate the influence of species identity and competition on sapling N form preferences and...

Forest canopies maintain a high proportion of arthropod diversity. The drivers that structure these communities, however, are poorly understood. Therefore, integrative research connecting tree species identity and environmental stand properties with taxonomic and functional community composition of canopy arthropods is required. In this study, we investigated how the taxonomic, functional and trophic composition of arboreal sp...
