Abstract Aim Biotic interactions – within guilds or across trophic levels have widely been ignored in species distribution models (SDMs). This synthesis outlines the development of ‘species interaction models’ (SIDMs), which aim to incorporate multispecies at large spatial extents using matrices. Location Local global. Methods We review recent approaches for extending classical SDMs biotic interactions, and identify some methodological conceptual limitations. To illustrate possible...
Abstract Range dynamics causes mismatches between a species’ geographical distribution and the set of suitable environments in which population growth is positive (the Hutchinsonian niche). This because source–sink cause species to occupy unsuitable environments, environmental change creates non‐equilibrium situations may be absent from (due migration limitation) or present that were previously time‐delayed extinction). Because correlative models do not account for these processes, they are...
Abstract Deforestation in the tropics is not only responsible for direct carbon emissions but also extends forest edge wherein trees suffer increased mortality. Here we combine high-resolution (30 m) satellite maps of cover with estimates effect and show that 19% remaining area tropical forests lies within 100 m a edge. The house around 50 million fragments length world’s edges sums to nearly km. Edge effects have caused an additional 10.3 Gt (2.1–14.4 Gt) emissions, which translates into...
Understanding social-ecological systems (SES) is crucial to supporting the sustainable management of resources.Agent-based modelling a valuable tool achieve this because it can represent behaviour and interactions organisms, human actors institutions.Agent-based models (ABMs) have therefore already been widely used study SES.However, ABMs SES are by their very nature complex.They di icult parameterize analyse, which limit usefulness.It time critically reflect upon current state-of-the-art...
Large areas of tropical forests have been lost through deforestation, resulting in fragmented forest landscapes. However, the dynamics fragmentation are still unknown, especially critical edge areas, which sources carbon emissions due to increased tree mortality. We analyzed changes for entire tropics using high-resolution cover maps. found that area from 27 31% total just 10 years, with largest increase Africa. The number fragments by 20 million consequences connectivity Simulations suggest...
Forests worldwide are threatened by various environmental and anthropogenic hazards, especially tropical forests. Knowledge on the impacts of these hazards forest structure dynamics has been compiled in empirical studies. However, results studies often not sufficient for long-term projections extrapolations to large spatial scales unprecedented conditions, which require both identification understanding key underlying processes. Forest models bridge this gap incorporating multiple ecological...
Empirical studies on severely fragmented regions suggest that decades after fragmentation, forest edges located near human-modified areas exhibit the structure of early successional states, with lower biomass per area and higher mortality compared to non-edge areas. These habitat changes (edge effects) can also have a considerable impact ecosystem processes such as carbon water balance, which in turn major human activities. Using field data from long-term landscape Brazilian Northeastern...
Abstract Tropical forests are known for their high diversity. Yet, forest patches do occur in the tropics where a single tree species is dominant. Such “monodominant” from all of main tropical regions. For Amazonia, we sampled occurrence monodominance massive, basin-wide database forest-inventory plots Amazon Tree Diversity Network (ATDN). Utilizing simple defining metric at least half trees ≥ 10 cm diameter belonging to one species, found only few occurrences and phenomenon was not...
In times of global change and intensified resource exploitation, advanced knowledge ecophysiological processes in natural engineered systems driven by complex microbial communities is crucial for both safeguarding environmental optimising rational control biotechnological processes.To gain such knowledge, high-throughput molecular techniques are routinely employed to investigate community composition dynamics within a wide range or environments.However, dataset analyses no consensus about...
Ensuring ecosystem resilience is an intuitive approach to safeguard the functioning of ecosystems and hence future provisioning services (ES). However, a multi‐faceted concept that difficult operationalize. Focusing on mechanisms, such as diversity, network architectures or adaptive capacity, has recently been suggested means operationalize resilience. Still, focus mechanisms not specific enough. We suggest conceptual framework, trinity, facilitate management based in three distinctive...
