Two concurrent trends are contributing towards a much broader view of forest conservation.
First, the appreciation of the role of forests as a nature-based climate solution has grown …

Built structures increasingly dominate the Earth's landscapes; their surging mass is currently
overtaking global biomass. We here assess built structures in the conterminous US by …

Via sheltering, decoupling and buffering mechanisms, tree canopies have the capacity to
mitigate impacts of multiple global‐change drivers on below‐canopy processes and …

Extreme weather events are occurring more frequently, and research has shown that plant
diversity can help mitigate the impacts of climate change by increasing plant productivity and …

Mapping the microclimate effect of forest canopies on understory temperature requires
spatially explicit predictors at very fine spatial resolutions. Light Detection And Ranging …

The continued expansion of pollinator-dependent crops increases our reliance on insect
pollinators, with wild pollinators providing a considerable proportion of pollination services …

Forest canopies buffer the macroclimate and thus play an important role in mitigating climate-
warming impacts on forest ecosystems. Despite the importance of the tree layer for …

The urban heat island (UHI) causes strong warming of cities and their urban forests
worldwide. Especially urban forest edges are strongly exposed to the UHI effect, which could …

Forests can foster mental health and well‐being. Yet, the contribution of forest biodiversity
remains unclear, and experimental research is needed to unravel pathways of biodiversity …

Climate warming and urbanisation compound the public health risk posed by heat. Heat can
be mitigated at local scales through urban greening, which provides shade and reduces …
