The first paper from Natheo Beauchamp's PhD explores how competition for light influences tree growth & survival of over a million trees across Europe, showing that the effect of light competition decreases in stressful climates. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Light competition affects how tree growth and survival respond to climate

We analysed the effect of light competition on tree growth and survival along both temperature and aridity gradients for the 33 major European tree species. We used forest data from nine European cou...

If you want to understand what's happening in European forests in terms of harvests, take a look at this! I’m so glad to finally have out our results quantifying harvest events from forest inventory data across 11 European countries. doi.org/10.1029/2024...

Really pleased to announce the publication of my PhD paper in @ecography.bsky.social ! We demonstrate the importance of physiological tolerance traits to frost and drought in understanding the distribution limits of 35 tree species in Europe.🧵 nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Living on the edge – physiological tolerance to frost and drought explains range limits of 35 European tree species

Species distribution models are key to evaluate how climate change threatens European forests and tree species distributions. However, current models struggle to integrate ecophysiological processes....
