Scaling‐up biodiversity‐ecosystem functioning research
A rich body of knowledge links biodiversity to ecosystem functioning (BEF), but it is primarily
focused on small scales. We review the current theory and identify six expectations for scale …

Cascading regime shifts within and across scales
Regime shifts are large, abrupt, and persistent critical transitions in the function and structure
of ecosystems. Yet, it is unknown how these transitions will interact, whether the occurrence …

The geography of spatial synchrony
Spatial synchrony, defined as correlated temporal fluctuations among populations, is a
fundamental feature of population dynamics, but many aspects of synchrony remain poorly …

The Moran effect revisited: spatial population synchrony under global warming
The world is spatially autocorrelated. Both abiotic and biotic properties are more similar
among neighboring than distant locations, and their temporal co‐fluctuations also decrease …

Spatial heterogeneity in climate change effects decouples the long‐term dynamics of wild reindeer populations in the high Arctic
The 'Moran effect'predicts that dynamics of populations of a species are synchronized over
similar distances as their environmental drivers. Strong population synchrony reduces …

Global karst vegetation regime and its response to climate change and human activities
S Zhao, P Pereira, X Wu, J Zhou, J Cao, W Zhang - Ecological Indicators, 2020 - Elsevier
The vegetation in karst regions (KR) is crucial to maintain fragile local ecosystems.
Therefore, it is critical to understand the factors that affect their vitality. The objective of this …
