Tree diversity and mycorrhizal dominance are considered major drivers of multitrophic diversity and ecosystem functioning in forests. Here the authors disentangle the effects of these factors on above...

Dos músicos enmascarados, una guitarra microtonal, ritmos imposibles y una sensación inicial de extrañeza: Angine de Poitrine parece diseñado para confundir. Sin embargo, ahí está parte de su atractivo.

Aging researchers and the removal of retirement policies yield decreased disruptive innovation in science

Our findings reveal complementary above- and below-ground shifts in multidimensional trait dissimilarity in response to neighbours, providing new insight into potential mechanisms by which plants dea...

Deshumanizar, despojar de su condición humana al enemigo, adversario o simplemente diferente, ha sido a lo largo de la historia un paso previo a la aniquilación física del grupo deshumanizado (Hasl…

Nature - ‘Exercise snacks’ and other forms of everyday movement can greatly reduce the risk of heart disease and death.

Mixed forests are often more productive and resilient than monocultures due to the higher diversity for the use of resources. This has long been known. But it is not only species diversity that contri...

In forests, trait expression is influenced by tree-tree interactions. Castro Sánchez-Bermejo et al. show how phenotypic variability of tree species decreases with tree diversity and contributes import...

Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 02 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s44358-025-00112-2Experiments manipulating tree species diversity and measuring effects on ecosystem function have been important tools for assessing how biodiverse forests can accumulate biomass, store carbon and help to meet climate goals. This Review summarizes key findings from global tree biodiversity experiments.

Leaf diversity arises from differences among species, but also from differences within species and even within the same crown. In a recent study, we show how intraspecific and intraindividual trait va...

Climate change is putting forests at risk. Our research shows that a tree's water-use strategy largely determines its growth across years: whereas one strategy performs better in normal years, the ot....
