The decomposition of dead plant matter (leaf litter and deadwood) is a key process for carbon (C) and nutrient cycles in forests. Increased nitrogen (N) deposition due to human activity may affect this process, with important consequences on forest biogeochemistry. Although there is extensive work on leaf litter, the research about the effect of N deposition on deadwood decomposition is still limited. Moreover, most N manipula...
Dominance and rarity in tree communities across the globe: Patterns, predictors and threatsNARA Subscribed
Aim Ecological and anthropogenic factors shift the abundances of dominant and rare tree species within local forest communities, thus affecting species composition and ecosystem functioning. To inform forest and conservation management it is important to understand the drivers of dominance and rarity in local tree communities. We answer the following research questions: (1) What are the patterns of dominance and rarity in tree...
Aim To determine the relationships between the functional trait composition of forest communities and environmental gradients across scales and biomes and the role of species relative abundances in these relationships. Location Global. Time period Recent. Major taxa studied Trees. Methods We integrated species abundance records from worldwide forest inventories and associated functional traits (wood density, specific leaf area...
