Forest canopies as nature‐based solutions to mitigate global change effects on people and nature
Via sheltering, decoupling and buffering mechanisms, tree canopies have the capacity to
mitigate impacts of multiple global‐change drivers on below‐canopy processes and …

[HTML][HTML] Multiple drivers of functional diversity in temperate forest understories: Climate, soil, and forest structure effects
In macroecology, shifting from coarse-to local-scale explanatory factors is crucial for
understanding how global change impacts functional diversity (FD). Plants possess diverse …

[HTML][HTML] Change in saproxylic beetle, fungi and bacteria assemblages along horizontal and vertical gradients of sun-exposure in forest
Microclimatic conditions in forests depend on canopy cover and thus differ between closed
and open forests and similarly change along the vertical axis from the forest floor to the …

Drought shortens subtropical understory growing season by advancing leaf senescence
Subtropical forests, recognized for their intricate vertical canopy stratification, exhibit high
resistance to extreme drought. However, the response of leaf phenology to drought in the …
