The biodiversity-productivity relationship (BPR) is foundational to our understanding of the global extinction crisis and its impacts on ecosystem functioning. Understanding BPR critical for accurate valuation effective conservation biodiversity. Using ground-sourced data from 777,126 permanent plots, spanning 44 countries most terrestrial biomes, we reveal a globally consistent positive concave-down BPR, showing that continued biodiversity loss would result in an accelerating decline forest...
NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) is collecting spaceborne full waveform lidar data with a primary science goal of producing accurate estimates forest aboveground biomass density (AGBD). This paper presents the development models used to create GEDI's footprint-level (~25 m) AGBD (GEDI04_A) product, including description datasets and procedure for final model selection. The fit our are from compilation globally distributed spatially temporally coincident field airborne...
Live woody vegetation is the largest reservoir of biomass carbon, with its restoration considered one most effective natural climate solutions. However, terrestrial carbon fluxes remain uncertainty in global cycle. Here, we develop spatially explicit estimates stock changes live from 2000 to 2019 using measurements ground, air, and space. We show that has removed 4.9 5.5 PgC year −1 atmosphere, offsetting 4.6 ± 0.1 gross emissions disturbances adding substantially (0.23 0.88 ) stocks. Gross...
Late-spring frosts (LSFs) affect the performance of plants and animals across world’s temperate boreal zones, but despite their ecological economic impact on agriculture forestry, geographic distribution evolutionary these frost events are poorly understood. Here, we analyze LSFs between 1959 2017 resistance strategies Northern Hemisphere woody species to infer trees’ adaptations for minimizing damage leaves forecast forest vulnerability under ongoing changes in frequencies. Trait values...
Abstract Forests are a substantial terrestrial carbon sink, but anthropogenic changes in land use and climate have considerably reduced the scale of this system 1 . Remote-sensing estimates to quantify losses from global forests 2–5 characterized by considerable uncertainty we lack comprehensive ground-sourced evaluation benchmark these estimates. Here combine several 6 satellite-derived approaches 2,7,8 evaluate forest potential outside agricultural urban lands. Despite regional variation,...
Significance Tree diversity is fundamental for forest ecosystem stability and services. However, because of limited available data, estimates tree at large geographic domains still rely heavily on published lists species descriptions that are geographically uneven in coverage. These limitations have precluded efforts to generate a global perspective. Here, based ground-sourced database, we estimate the number biome, continental, scales. We estimated richness (≈73,300) ≈14% higher than...
Replanting trees helps with avoiding desertification, reducing the chances of soil erosion and flooding, minimizing risks zoonotic disease outbreaks, providing ecosystem services livelihood to indigenous people, in addition sequestering carbon dioxide for mitigating climate change. Consequently, it is important explore new methods technologies that are aiming upscale fast-track afforestation reforestation (A/R) endeavors, given many current tree planting strategies not cost effective over...
Determining the drivers of non-native plant invasions is critical for managing native ecosystems and limiting spread invasive species1,2. Tree in particular have been relatively overlooked, even though they potential to transform economies3,4. Here, leveraging global tree databases5-7, we explore how phylogenetic functional diversity communities, human pressure environment influence establishment species subsequent invasion severity. We find that anthropogenic factors are key predicting...
Individual tree heights are needed in many situations, including estimation of volume, dominant height, and simulation growth. However, height measurements tedious compared to diameter measurements, therefore height–diameter (H–D) models commonly used for prediction height. Previous studies have fitted H–D using approaches that include plot-specific predictors the those do not them. In both these approaches, aggregation observations sample plots has usually been taken into account through...
Tropical deforestation drivers are complex and can change rapidly in periods of profound societal transformation, such as those during a pandemic. Evidence suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic has spurred illegal, opportunistic forest clearing tropical countries, threatening ecosystems their resident human communities. A total 9583 km2 alerts from Global Land Analysis & Discovery (GLAD) were detected across global tropics first month following implementation confinement measures local...

The forest-based sector plays a significant role in supporting Europe on its pathway towards more integrated and bio-based circular economy. Beyond the supply of timber, forest ecosystems offer wide range products services beneficial to human wellbeing. Non-wood (NWFPs) play an integral provisioning ecosystem constitute huge portfolio species from various taxonomic kingdoms. As diverse as resources themselves is list end-products that may be derived raw non-wood materials. Multiple...
A systematic evaluation of nonlinear fixed- and mixed-effects taper models in volume prediction was conducted. Among 33 equations, the best 1- to 10-parameter fixed-effects according fitting statistics were further analysed by comparing their predictions against modelling data an independent set. Three alternative strategies compared using equation (Kozak II) absence calibration (the usual situation forestry practice). Strategy 1 used a fixed-parameter model (marginal model), strategy 2...
