Vegetation structural complexity (VSC)—the three‐dimensional distribution of plants within
an ecosystem—is an important ecological trait. To date, research has focused primarily on …

Aim Climate change will likely modify the global distribution of biomes, but the magnitude of
change is debated. Here, we followed a trait‐based, statistical approach to model the …

Abstract The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) lidar began data acquisition
from the International Space Station in March 2019 and is expected to make over 10 billion …

Spatial gradients of species richness can be shaped by the interplay between historical and
ecological factors. They might interact in particularly complex ways in heterogeneous …

This study explores the relationships between recent Iranian lizard species distributions and
the observed climate, as well as potential future distributions of species. For this purpose, an …

Aims Taller forest canopies may harbour higher biodiversity by providing more and varied
resources. No previous studies have assessed whether forest canopy height shapes the …

The Australian continent's size and isolation make it an ideal place for studying the
accumulation and evolution of biodiversity. Long separated from the ancient supercontinent …

The potential link between certified organic farming and biodiversity and conservation
remains unexplored in Australia, despite the country having the world's largest amount of …

Grazing by domestic livestock is sometimes promoted as a management tool to benefit
biodiversity. In many situations, however, it can produce negative outcomes. Here, we …

The essential biodiversity variables (EBV) framework has been proposed as a monitoring
system of standardized, comparable variables that represents a minimum set of biological …
