Abstract Purpose of Review Despite the rapidly increasing use of resilience indices to
analyze responses of trees and forests to disturbance events, there is so far no common …

Global change exposes forest ecosystems to many risks including novel climatic conditions,
increased frequency of climatic extremes and sudden emergence and spread of pests and …

Population and income growth are increasing global food demand at a time when a third of
the world's agricultural soils are degraded and climate variability threatens the sustainability …

Forest restoration increases global forest area and ecosystem services such as primary
productivity and carbon storage. How tree species functional composition impacts the …

Extreme climatic events threaten forests and their climate mitigation potential globally.
Understanding the drivers promoting ecosystem stability is therefore considered crucial for …

One of the most promising ways to rapidly remove CO2 from the atmosphere is through the
restoration of tropical forests. Ongoing and future climate change may, however, threaten the …

The increasing disturbances in monocultures around the world are testimony to their
instability under global change. Many studies have claimed that temporal stability of …

Revealing the intricate interactions between ecosystem services and their values is
essential for the comprehensive management of diverse ecosystems. However …

There is increasing evidence that the strength of tree diversity effects on productivity varies
considerably over the course of forest development. Evidence points to canopy closure and …

Aim Tree species diversity can increase the stability of ecosystem productivity by increasing
mean productivity and/or reducing the standard deviation in productivity. However, stand …
