Despite the paramount role of plant diversity for ecosystem functioning, biogeochemical
cycles, and human welfare, knowledge of its global distribution is still incomplete, hampering …

The prevailing paradigm about the Quaternary ecological and evolutionary history of Central
European ecosystems is that they were repeatedly impoverished by regional extinctions of …

Forest–savanna boundaries are ecotones that support complex ecosystem functions and
are sensitive to biotic/abiotic perturbations. What drives their distribution today and how it …

BECCS (bioenergy with carbon capture and storage) is an important technology to achieve
international and Brazilian climatic goals, notably because it provides negative emissions. In …

Aim Global‐scale maps of the environment are an important source of information for
researchers and decision makers. Often, these maps are created by training machine …

Abstract Analysis of climate policy scenarios has become an important tool for identifying
mitigation strategies, as shown in the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change …

Phytopathogenic fungi threaten global food security but the ecological drivers of their global
diversity and biogeography remain unknown. Here, we construct and analyse a global atlas …

Landscape patterns are important drivers of biodiversity. Owing to differences in vegetation
types, sampling methods, diversity measures, spatial scales, and landscape levels, the …

Ecological theory predicts close relationships between macroclimate and functional traits.
Yet, global climatic gradients correlate only weakly with the trait composition of local plant …

How the multiple facets of soil fungal diversity vary worldwide remains virtually unknown,
hindering the management of this essential species-rich group. By sequencing high …
