World‐wide impacts of climate change and nitrogen deposition on vegetation structure, composition, and functioning of shrublands

Environmental changes and their effects are among the most pressing topics of today's ecological research. Shrublands, although widespread across the globe, remain understudied in this respect. We co...

Simulated management strategies for tree invasions in grasslands reveal that early removal of saplings is the most cost-effective approach to limit population size, spread, and impact 🌲 These methods are adaptable to any invasive woody species with sufficient data 🌎🧪 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/1365...

It is great to walk in Sunday.

Last day in 2024 vs first day in 2025 at Helsink.

Cold Sunday at helsinki. Nice to walk around.

Invasive alien species are a threat to #nature, nature’s contributions to people, and good quality of life. Read the @ipbes.bsky.social #InvasiveAlienSpecies Report at: www.ipbes.net/ias 🧪🌍

An excellent example demonstrating that invasive/nonnative/native/conservation status is context dependent and defines *populations* not species. phys.org/news/2024-12...

A nature conservation paradox: Invasive species are often threatened in their native habitat

Non-native species introduced by humans are among the main causes of global species decline—they were partly responsible for 60% of the species that have become extinct worldwide in recent decades. No...

Nice to see this amazing work.

Drought explains the increasing trend in tree mortality in the Amazon over recent decades. Here diagnosed with a new representation of drought effects in the LPJ-GUESS demographic vegetation model. Led by Phillip Papastefanou & @anjarammig.bsky.social doi.org/10.1088/1748...

Forest functional strategies vary across climate gradients, especially with temperature changes. Happy to see this work is published in @naturecomms.bsky.social. It is not possible without our collaborators and host gorup led by @tompugh.bsky.social Link: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Mapping multi-dimensional variability in water stress strategies across temperate forests - Nature Communications

Tree functional strategies regulate responses to water stress, but how these strategies scale up to the forest community level is not well known. This study shows coherent spatial variation in communi...

Clear patterns emerge in the combinations of traits that govern how temperate forests respond to drought - and those patterns are more linked to temperature than they are to aridity. Led by @daijunliu.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
