Surviving in changing forests: abiotic disturbance legacy effects on arthropod communities of temperate forests
Abstract Purpose of Review The increasing impact of droughts, wildfires and windstorms in
temperate areas poses a significant challenge to the adaptation capacity of forests and their …

Competition‐induced tree mortality across Europe is driven by shade tolerance, proportion of conspecifics and drought
Forest stand densities are increasing in the boreal and temperate biomes, suggesting that
tree‐tree competition is intensifying. Anticipating the consequences of this intensified …

Damage to living trees contributes to almost half of the biomass losses in tropical forests
Accurate estimates of forest biomass stocks and fluxes are needed to quantify global carbon
budgets and assess the response of forests to climate change. However, most forest …
