Drivers of above‐ground understorey biomass and nutrient stocks in temperate deciduous forests Open
The understorey in temperate forests can play an important functional role, depending on its biomass and functional characteristics. While it is known that local soil and stand characteristics largely determine the biomass of the understor…

Tree diversity is key for promoting the diversity and abundance of forest‐associated taxa in Europe Open
Plant diversity is an important driver of diversity at other trophic levels, suggesting that cascading extinctions could reduce overall biodiversity. Most evidence for positive effects of plant diversity comes from grasslands. Despite the …

The functional role of temperate forest understorey vegetation in a changing world Open
Temperate forests cover 16% of the global forest area. Within these forests, the understorey is an important biodiversity reservoir that can influence ecosystem processes and functions in multiple ways. However, we still lack a thorough un…

Biotic predictors complement models of bat and bird responses to climate and tree diversity in European forests Open
Bats and birds are key providers of ecosystem services in forests. How climate and habitat jointly shape their communities is well studied, but whether biotic predictors from other trophic levels may improve bird and bat diversity models i…

Biotic predictors complement models of bat and bird responses to climate and tree diversity in European forests Open
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Bats and birds are key providers of ecosystem services in forests. How climate and habitat jointly shape their communities is well studied, but whether biotic predictors from other trophic…

Identifying the tree species compositions that maximize ecosystem functioning in European forests Open
Forest ecosystem functioning generally benefits from higher tree species richness, but variation within richness levels is typically large. This is mostly due to the contrasting performances of communities with different compositions. Evid…

View article: Dominance of individual plant species is more important than diversity in explaining plant biomass in the forest understorey
Dominance of individual plant species is more important than diversity in explaining plant biomass in the forest understorey Open
Questions How does plant community diversity influence variation in plant biomass? There are two competing hypotheses: the ‘biomass ratio’ hypothesis, where biomass is influenced by the abundance and traits of the most dominant species, an…
View article: Continental mapping of forest ecosystem functions reveals a high but unrealised potential for forest multifunctionality
Continental mapping of forest ecosystem functions reveals a high but unrealised potential for forest multifunctionality Open
Humans require multiple services from ecosystems, but it is largely unknown whether trade‐offs between ecosystem functions prevent the realisation of high ecosystem multifunctionality across spatial scales. Here, we combined a comprehensiv…
View article: Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning relations in European forests depend on environmental context
Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning relations in European forests depend on environmental context Open
The importance of biodiversity in supporting ecosystem functioning is generally well accepted. However, most evidence comes from small‐scale studies, and scaling‐up patterns of biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (B‐EF) remains challenging,…

Data for Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning relations in European forests depend on environmental context (10.1111/ele.12849) Open
The data includes measurements of 26 ecosystem functions measured in 209 forest plots across Europe associated with the Ecology Letters publication "Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning relations in European forests depend on environment…

Species interactions increase the temporal stability of community productivity in <i>Pinus sylvestris–Fagus sylvatica</i> mixtures across Europe Open
Summary There is increasing evidence that species diversity enhances the temporal stability (TS) of community productivity in different ecosystems, although its effect at the population and tree levels seems to be negative or neutral. Asyn…

Biotic homogenization can decrease landscape-scale forest multifunctionality Open
Significance Numerous studies have demonstrated the importance of biodiversity in maintaining multiple ecosystem functions and services (multifunctionality) at local spatial scales, but it is unknown whether similar relationships are found…
