99% of plant distributions in Europe show signs of disequilibrium. The surprise? Climate change was only part of the story. Disturbance emerged as an even more pervasive force shaping where species oc...

Nature - Plant community properties affect ecosystem functioning via energy fluxes in food webs, with the leaf and root resource economics of dominant tree species controlling soil food web...

Climate-driven shifts in competitive strength show declining dominance of evergreen conifers and rising competitiveness of broadleaved species across Europe, based on a deep-learning meta-model traine...

International Journal of Biometeorology - Understanding forest microclimate is critical for predicting forest ecosystem responses to climate change. Yet its fine-scale variability–driven by...

Based on vegetation resurveys from 572 plots of 1 m2 located on mountain summits spread across Europe's major mountain ranges, shrubification was calculated as the change in shrub cover between 2001 ...

Plant distributions are often in disequilibrium with climate, not occupying all suitable habitat and present in conditions that no longer support long-term population persistence. This proves a chall...

Plants are diverse, but investigating their ecology and evolution in nature across geographic and temporal scales to predict how species will respond to global change is challenging. With their geogr...

This study explores how forest management, and the underlying environmental variables impacts local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity in two understorey

Resarch reveals how dogs walked off-lead access more areas of protected lowland heaths, causing more disturbance to rare ground nesting birds.
