Mapping habitats on coastal dunes, crucial yet highly vulnerable ecosystems, requires objectivity and repeatability, which are still lacking in the im…

Un sistema di allerta precoce basato sull’intelligenza artificiale rivela una massiccia perdita di foreste in Ucraina durante la guerra.

Context Forest canopies shape subcanopy environments, affecting biodiversity and ecosystem processes. Empirical forest microclimate studies are often restricted to local scales and short-term effects,...

Not all fieldwork pictures are equally breathtaking. While part of our team waded through the muddy mud of De Driehoek – one of our university campus’s last patches of nature – an…

Global climate change, biodiversity decline, and increasing disturbances are challenging the health and resilience of forests. In this regard, forest …

Community Ecology, established by the merger of two ecological periodicals, Coenoses and Abstracta Botanica was launched in an effort to create a common ...

The effect of tree species richness on maximum stand density in forest plots had been suspected before, but it had hardly ever been taken into account in biodiversity–ecosystem–functioning studies. H....

Urban areas are quickly expanding around the world, promoting deep changes in biodiversity. However, certain biogeographic realms, like the Afrotropic…

Predicting the spatial distribution of invasive plants remains challenging because of the complex relationships between plant invasion, abiotic, and b…

Those who know me are likely well aware of my interest in species distribution models (SDMs). In particular, I’ve been focused for years on how we can enhance these models using higher-resolu…

Leaf-wood separation plays an important role in estimating aboveground biomass (AGB) of trees from terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) point clouds. Yet,…

Abstract. Forests in Europe experienced record-breaking dry conditions during the summer of 2022. The direction in which various forest types respond to climate extremes during their growing season is...
