Hydro‐Functional Traits and Their Dissimilarity to the Neighbourhood Buffer Tree Growth Against the 2018–2020 Central European DroughtNARA Subscribed
Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency and duration of drought events, threatening the functioning of Central European forests. While diverse forests often promote long‐term growth stability, their performance during extreme drought events remains debated. Understanding the effects of forest diversity on tree growth during drought requires not only a consideration of tree interactions with direct neighbouring tr...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
Tree Diversity Increases Forest Temperature Buffering via Enhancing Canopy Density and Structural DiversityNARA Subscribed
Global warming is increasing the frequency and intensity of climate extremes. Forests may buffer climate extremes by creating their own attenuated microclimate below their canopy, which maintains forest functioning and biodiversity. However, the effect of tree diversity on temperature buffering in forests is largely unexplored. Here, we show that tree species richness increases forest temperature buffering across temporal scal...
