Regional 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 Portfolio2024From roots to canopy: Unraveling the influence of species diversity on tree water relations under warmer and drier climates
The worsening of drought events with rising air temperature alters tree water relations causing severe hydraulic impairments and widespread forest mortality. Mixing tree species with contrasting hydraulic traits could reduce forest vulnerability to extreme ...
EPFL2024Invasive 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 ...
Amsterdam2024Soil warming alters tree water use and canopy stomatal conductance in a mixed subtropical forest
Charlotte Grossiord, Christoph Bachofen
As air temperature and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) increase continuously, forests are losing more water through evapotranspiration, with large consequences for local and global hydrological cycles. In regions with high vegetation cover, soil warming can b ...
Elsevier2024Impact 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 ...
2024Fungal 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 Portfolio2024Mapping drivers of tropical forest loss with satellite image time series and machine learning
Devis Tuia, Gaston Jean Lenczner, Jan Dirk Wegner, Jan Pisl, Marc Conrad Russwurm, Lloyd Haydn Hughes
The rates of tropical deforestation remain high, resulting in carbon emissions, biodiversity loss, and impacts on local communities. To design effective policies to tackle this, it is necessary to know what the drivers behind deforestation are. Since drive ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2024Tree diversity reduces variability in sapling survival under drought
Charlotte Grossiord, Jingjing Liang, Xiaojuan Liu
Enhancing tree diversity may be important to fostering resilience to drought-related climate extremes. So far, little attention has been given to whether tree diversity can increase the survival of trees and reduce its variability in young forest plantatio ...
Wiley2024Performance and accuracy of cross‐section tracking methods for hydromorphological habitat assessment in wadable rivers with sparse canopy conditions
Giovanni De Cesare, Paolo Perona, Robin Schroff
This article investigates the performance and accuracy of continuous Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) position tracking for hydromorphological surveys, based on a comprehensive river restoration monitoring campaign. The a ...
2024ForMAX - a beamline for multiscale and multimodal structural characterization of hierarchical materials
Yiming Li, Yi Zhang, Marianne Liebi, Vitor Silva, Zhongwen Yao
The ForMAX beamline at the MAX IV Laboratory provides multiscale and multimodal structural characterization of hierarchical materials in the nanometre to millimetre range by combining small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering with full-field microtomography. ...
