Invasive palms have more efficient and prolonged CO2 assimilation compared to native sub-Mediterranean vegetation
Charlotte Grossiord, Christoph Bachofen, Thibaut Michel Georges Juillard, Janisse Deluigi, Marco Conedera
In sub-Mediterranean ecosystems, shade-tolerant broadleaf evergreens, especially the invasive Trachycarpus fortunei, are spreading uncontrollably in the forest understorey, impeding the regeneration of the native deciduous woody vegetation. Most invasive s ...
Amsterdam2024Regional uniqueness of tree species composition and response to forest loss and climate change
Devis Tuia, Nina Marion Aurélia Van Tiel, Loïc Pellissier
The conservation and restoration of forest ecosystems require detailed knowledge of the native plant compositions. Here, we map global forest tree composition and assess the impacts of historical forest cover loss and climate change on trees. The global oc ...
Nature Portfolio2024Fungal community composition predicts forest carbon storage at a continental scale
Forest soils harbor hyper-diverse microbial communities which fundamentally regulate carbon and nutrient cycling across the globe. Directly testing hypotheses on how microbiome diversity is linked to forest carbon storage has been difficult, due to a lack ...
Nature Portfolio2024Impact of intercepted and sub-canopy snow microstructure on snowpack response to rain-on-snow events under a boreal canopy
Michael Lehning, Adrien Michel, Nander Wever, Daniel Nadeau, Benjamin Bouchard
Rain-on-snow events can cause severe flooding in snow-dominated regions. These are expected to become more frequent in the future as climate change shifts the precipitation from snowfall to rainfall. However, little is known about how winter rainfall inter ...
2024Warming may extend tree growing seasons and compensate for reduced carbon uptake during dry periods
Charlotte Grossiord, Christoph Bachofen, Yann Vitasse, Eugénie Isabelle Mas, Margaux Clara Lou Didion-Gency
- Warming and drought alter plant phenology, photosynthesis and growth with important consequences for the global carbon cycle and the earth’s climate. Yet, few studies have attempted to tease apart their effects on tree phenology, particularly leaf senes ...
Edge influence on understorey plant communities depends on forest management
Questions Does the influence of forest edges on plant species richness and composition depend on forest management? Do forest specialists and generalists show contrasting patterns? Location Mesic, deciduous forests across Europe. Methods Vegetation surveys ...
WILEY2020Measured greenhouse gas budgets challenge emission savings from palm-oil biodiesel
The potential of palm-oil biofuels to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared with fossil fuels is increasingly questioned. So far, no measurement-based GHG budgets were available, and plantation age was ignored in Life Cycle Analyses (LCA). Here, w ...
2020Relationships between key functional traits of the waterlily Nuphar lutea and wetland nutrient content
Little attention has been paid to how aquatic habitat characteristics affect the traits of plant species. Nuphar lutea (L.) Sm. is a keystone species distributed across temperate regions of Europe, northwest Africa and western Asia. Its apparently low phen ...
2019Variation in Detrital Resource Stoichiometry Signals Differential Carbon to Nutrient Limitation for Stream Consumers Across Biomes
Stoichiometric ratios of resources and consumers have been used to predict nutrient limitation across diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. In forested headwater streams, coarse and fine benthic organic matter (CBOM, FBOM) are primary basal resources ...
SPRINGER2018DIRECT AND INDIRECT USES OF URBAN FOREST RESOURCES: CASE IN NAGOYA CITY, JAPAN
Urban forest has an important role in a city. Also citizen utilizes urban forest resources directly and indirectly in many ways. In this study, the direct and indirect uses of forest resources were studied based on a simple multipoint on-site field survey ...
