Quantifying the Effect Size of Management Actions on Aboveground Carbon Stocks in Forest PlantationsNARA Subscribed
Purpose of the Review Improved forest management is a promising avenue for climate change mitigation. However, we lack synthetic understanding of how different management actions impact aboveground carbon stocks, particularly at scales relevant for designing and implementing forest-based climate solutions. Here, we quantitatively assess and review the impacts of three common practices—application of inorganic NPK fertilizer, i...
Memory over matter?—a conceptual framework to integrate social–ecological l legacies in agricultural NCP co-productionNARA Subscribed
To better account for how social–ecological legacies of social and ecological systems jointly shape the current composition, the quality and quantity of nature’s contribution to people (NCPs), we integrate the concept of NCP co-production into social–ecological system thinking. Our expanded framework highlights how NCP co-production is frequently entangled within its social–ecological context, such as legacies, current resourc...
Common, low-frequency, rare, and ultra-rare coding variants contribute to COVID-19 severityNARA Subscribed
The combined impact of common and rare exonic variants in COVID-19 host genetics is currently insufficiently understood. Here, common and rare variants from whole-exome sequencing data of about 4000 SARS-CoV-2-positive individuals were used to define an interpretable machine-learning model for predicting COVID-19 severity. First, variants were converted into separate sets of Boolean features, depending on the absence or the pr...
Richer histories for more relevant policies: 42 years of tree cover loss and gain in Southeast Sulawesi, IndonesiaNARA Subscribed
Understandings of contemporary forest cover loss are critical for policy but have come at the expense of long‐term, multidirectional analyses of land cover change. This is a critical gap given (i) profound reconfigurations in land use and land control over the past several decades and (ii) evidence of widespread ‘woodland resurgence’ throughout the tropics. In this study, we argue that recent advancements within the field of l...
Linking size‐dependent growth and mortality with architectural traits across 145 co‐occurring tropical tree speciesNARA Subscribed
Tree architecture, growth, and mortality change with increasing tree size and associated light conditions. To date, few studies have quantified how size‐dependent changes in growth and mortality rates co‐vary with architectural traits, and how such size‐dependent changes differ across species and possible light capture strategies. We applied a hierarchical Bayesian model to quantify size‐dependent changes in demographic rates...
Pseudoreplication in Tropical Forests and the Resulting Effects on Biodiversity ConservationNARA Subscribed
Tropical forest ecosystems are threatened by habitat conversion and other anthropogenic actions. Timber production forests can augment the conservation value of primary forest reserves, but studies of logging effects often yield contradictory findings and thus inhibit efforts to develop clear conservation strategies. We hypothesized that much of this variability reflects a common methodological flaw, simple pseudoreplication,...
