Coral reef benthic community changes in the Anthropocene: Biogeographic heterogeneity, overlooked configurations, and methodology
Non‐random community changes are becoming more frequent in many ecosystems. In coral
reefs, changes towards communities dominated by other than hard corals are increasing in …

[HTML][HTML] Canopy mortality has doubled in Europe's temperate forests over the last three decades
Mortality is a key indicator of forest health, and increasing mortality can serve as bellwether
for the impacts of global change on forest ecosystems. Here we analyze trends in forest …

[HTML][HTML] Patterns and drivers of recent disturbances across the temperate forest biome
Increasing evidence indicates that forest disturbances are changing in response to global
change, yet local variability in disturbance remains high. We quantified this considerable …
