Context dependence is widely invoked to explain disparate results in ecology. It arises when
the magnitude or sign of a relationship varies due to the conditions under which it is …

Species turnover is ubiquitous. However, it remains unknown whether certain types of
species are consistently gained or lost across different habitats. Here, we analysed the …

Biodiversity time series reveal global losses and accelerated redistributions of species, but
no net loss in local species richness. To better understand how these patterns are linked, we …

With the aim to identify future challenges and opportunities in vegetation science, we
brought together a group of 22 early career vegetation scientists from diverse backgrounds …

A central challenge of today's ecological research is predicting how ecosystems will develop
under future global change. Accurate predictions are complicated by (a) simultaneous …

Global change has accelerated local species extinctions and colonizations, often resulting in
losses and gains of evolutionary lineages with unique features. Do these losses and gains …

Bryophytes provide key ecosystem services at the global scale such as carbon storage and
primary production in resource limited habitats, but compared to vascular plants knowledge …

Long-term time series are increasingly used to assess the effects of global change on plant
community diversity and to guide management of target plant communities. However …

Despite good recognition of distributions and spread mechanisms of the three most invasive
trees in Europe (Prunus serotina, Quercus rubra and Robinia pseudoacacia), their impacts …

Many plant and animal species are changing their latitudinal and/or altitudinal distributions
in response to climate change, but whether fungi show similar changes is largely unknown …
