In this study, a Light Detection and Ranging-based Digital Elevation Model was developed to delineate and assess the extent of lakeshore riparian environments across the Southwest regions of British Columbia, Canada. The analysis revealed substantial variability in riparian zone area and extent across diverse physiographic settings, with elevation emerging as the primary driver of riparian extent. Low-elevation lake basins wer...

Aim We test the hypothesis that wind dispersal is more common among emergent tree species given that being tall increases the likelihood of effective seed dispersal. Location Americas, Africa and the Asia‐Pacific. Time period 1970–2020. Major taxa studied Gymnosperms and Angiosperms. Methods We used a dataset consisting of tree inventories from 2821 plots across three biogeographic regions (Americas, Africa and Asia‐Pacific),...
