Non-structural carbohydrate concentrations in tree organs vary across biomes and leaf habits, but are independent of the fast-slow plant economic spectrum Open
Carbohydrate reserves play a vital role in plant survival during periods of negative carbon balance. Under a carbon-limited scenario, we expect a trade-offs between carbon allocation to growth, reserves, and defense. A resulting hypothesis…

A framework for participatory scenario planning to guide transitions towards sustainability in mountain social-ecological systems: A case study from the Colombian Andes Open
Pronounced environmental gradients of tropical mountains result in interconnected social-ecological systems of great cultural and biological diversity and high provision of essential ecosystem services. This intrinsic diversity of mountain…

Assessing canopy structure in Andean (agro)forests using 3D UAV remote sensing Open
Agroforestry systems (AFS) are important for biodiversity conservation outside protected areas. The presence of shade trees in AFS form structurally complex habitats that provide food for many species. Habitat complexity is considered an e…

A Regional Earth System Data Lab for Understanding Ecosystem Dynamics: An Example from Tropical South America Open
Tropical ecosystems experience particularly fast transformations largely as a consequence of land use and climate change. Consequences for ecosystem functioning and services are hard to predict and require analyzing multiple data sets simu…

Non-structural carbohydrate concentrations in woody organs, but not leaves, of temperate and tropical tree angiosperms are independent of the ‘fast-slow’ plant economic spectrum Open
Summary Background and Aims Carbohydrate reserves play a vital role in plant survival during periods of negative carbon balance. Considering active storage of reserves, there is a trade-off between carbon allocation to growth and to reserv…

Biodiversity facets affect community surface temperature via 3D canopy structure in grassland communities Open
Canopy structure is an important driver of the energy budget of grassland ecosystem and is, at the same time, altered by plant diversity. Diverse plant communities typically have taller and more densely packed canopies than less diverse co…

Evaluating the effect of nutrient redistribution by animals on the phosphorus cycle of lowland Amazonia Open
Phosphorus (P) availability decreases with soil age and potentially limits the productivity of ecosystems growing on old and weathered soils. Despite growing on ancient soils, ecosystems of lowland Amazonia are highly productive and are am…
