Global change is impacting forests worldwide, threatening biodiversity and ecosystem
services including climate regulation. Understanding how forests respond is critical to forest …

Regression dilution is a statistical inference bias that causes underestimation of the strength
of dependency between two variables when the predictors are error‐prone proxies (EPPs) …

Aim To examine the contribution of large‐diameter trees to biomass, stand structure, and
species richness across forest biomes. Location Global. Time period Early 21st century …

Site‐to‐site variation in species composition (β‐diversity) generally increases from low‐to
high‐diversity regions. Although biogeographical differences in community assembly …

Large-diameter trees dominate the structure, dynamics and function of many temperate and
tropical forests. Although both scaling theory and competition theory make predictions about …

Global patterns of biodiversity reflect both regional and local processes, but the relative
importance of local ecological limits to species coexistence, as influenced by the physical …

To advance understanding of biodiversity and ecosystem function, ecologists seek widely
applicable relationships among species diversity and other ecosystem characteristics such …

Tropical forests have long been recognized for their biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Despite their importance, tropical forests, and particularly those of central Africa, remain …

Allometric equations for calculation of tree above‐ground biomass (AGB) form the basis for
estimates of forest carbon storage and exchange with the atmosphere. While standard …

When forest ecosystems develop over millennia, trees live five centuries, and mortality
unfolds over decades, direct repeated observation (hereafter, longitudinal data) may be the …
