Multispecies forest plantations outyield monocultures across a broad range of conditions
Multispecies tree planting has long been applied in forestry and landscape restoration in the
hope of providing better timber production and ecosystem services; however, a systematic …

Emerging stability of forest productivity by mixing two species buffers temperature destabilizing effect
The increasing disturbances in monocultures around the world are testimony to their
instability under global change. Many studies have claimed that temporal stability of …

Climate-induced tree-mortality pulses are obscured by broad-scale and long-term greening
Y Yan, S Piao, WM Hammond, A Chen… - Nature Ecology & …, 2024 - nature.com
Vegetation greening has been suggested to be a dominant trend over recent decades, but
severe pulses of tree mortality in forests after droughts and heatwaves have also been …

Scale-dependent changes in ecosystem temporal stability over six decades of succession
A widely assumed, but largely untested, tenet in ecology is that ecosystem stability tends to
increase over succession. We rigorously test this idea using 60-year continuous data of old …

Functional identity drives tree species richness‐induced increases in litterfall production and forest floor mass in young tree communities
Forest floor accumulation is a key process that influences ecosystem carbon cycling. Despite
evidence suggesting that tree diversity and soil carbon are positively correlated, most soil …

Latitudinal patterns of forest ecosystem stability across spatial scales as affected by biodiversity and environmental heterogeneity
Our planet is facing a variety of serious threats from climate change that are unfolding
unevenly across the globe. Uncovering the spatial patterns of ecosystem stability is …
