Responses of forest ecosystems in Europe to decreasing nitrogen deposition
Average nitrogen (N) deposition across Europe has declined since the 1990s. This resulted
in decreased N inputs to forest ecosystems especially in Central and Western Europe where …

Seasonal drivers of understorey temperature buffering in temperate deciduous forests across Europe
Aim Forest understorey microclimates are often buffered against extreme heat or cold, with
important implications for the organisms living in these environments. We quantified …

Global meta-analysis reveals no net change in local-scale plant biodiversity over time
Global biodiversity is in decline. This is of concern for aesthetic and ethical reasons, but
possibly also for practical reasons, as suggested by experimental studies, mostly with plants …

Forest structure and composition alleviate human thermal stress
Current climate change aggravates human health hazards posed by heat stress. Forests can
locally mitigate this by acting as strong thermal buffers, yet potential mediation by forest …

Global environmental change effects on ecosystems: The importance of land‐use legacies
One of the major challenges in ecology is to predict how multiple global environmental
changes will affect future ecosystem patterns (eg plant community composition) and …
