Neighbourhood Diversity Effects on Tree Growth Shift Over Time in a Long‐Term Forest Biodiversity Experiment
The study shows that neighbourhood tree species richness generates intricate feedbacks on individual tree growth, helping clarify why scaling up from individual-level to community-level tree species ...

The tree growth–herbivory relationship depends on functional traits across forest biodiversity experiments - Nature Ecology & Evolution
It is unclear whether the linkage between tree species richness and insect herbivory is consistent across climates and forest types. Here, the authors analyse data from forest biodiversity experiments...
