The first pantropical paper of the PANTROP project pantrop-eu.com is a fact! In a study led by Tomonari Matsuo published in Global Change Biology lnkd.in/eJy_Jrgb we show that (see below)

Is it possible to link modern coexistence theory with functional ecology? @joe-wan.bsky.social shows that it is! Functional coexistence theory provides an avenue toward mechanistic and predictive understanding of community–ecosystem feedbacks @esajournals.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/ecm.70033

Last month I presented #ECTE2025 a study from the #PANTROP project (pantrop-eu.com) on growth form replacement in early succession. The succes of natural forest recovery is not only determined by the arrival or regrowth of trees, but also the competition with growth forms such as grasses and ferns.
