Words apart: Standardizing forestry terms and definitions across European biodi...
Trentanovi, Giovanni; Campagnaro, Thomas; Sitzia, Tommaso; Chianucci, Francesco; Vacchiano, Giorgio; Ammer, Christian; Ciach, Michał; Nagel, Thomas A.Forest biodiversity studies conducted across Europe use a multitude of forestry terms, often inconsistently. This hinders the comparability across studies and makes the assessment of the impacts of forest management on biodiversity highly context-dependent. Recent attempts to standardize forestry and stand description terminology mostly used a top-down approach that did not account for the perspectives and appr...
Where are we now with European forest multi-taxon biodiversity and where can we...
Burrascano, Sabina; Chianucci, Francesco; Trentanovi, Giovanni; Kepfer-Rojas, Sebastian; Sitzia, Tommaso; Tinya, Flóra; Doerfler, Inken; Paillet, YoanThe European biodiversity and forest strategies rely on forest sustainable management (SFM) to conserve forest biodiversity. However, current sustainability assessments hardly account for direct biodiversity indicators. We focused on forest multi-taxon biodiversity to: i) gather and map the existing information; ii) identify knowledge and research gaps; iii) discuss its research potential. We established a rese...

Steidinger, Brian S.; Crowther, Thomas Ward; Liang, Jingjing; van Nuland, Michael E.; Werner, Gijsbert; Reich, Peter B.; Nabuurs, Gert JanIn this Letter, the middle initial of author G. J. Nabuurs was omitted, and he should have been associated with an additional affiliation: ‘Forest Ecology and Forest Management Group, Wageningen University and Research, Wageningen, The Netherlands’ (now added as affiliation 182). In addition, the following two statements have been added to the Supplementary Acknowledgements. (1): ‘We would particularly like to ...
Positive biodiversity-productivity relationship predominant in global forests
Liang, Jingjing; Crowther, Thomas W; Picard, Nicolas; Wiser, Susan; Zhou, Mo; Alberti, Giorgio; Schulze, Ernst-Detlef; McGuire, A David; Bozzato, FabioThe biodiversity-productivity relationship (BPR) is foundational to our understanding of the global extinction crisis and its impacts on ecosystem functioning. Understanding BPR is critical for the accurate valuation and effective conservation of biodiversity. Using ground-sourced data from 777,126 permanent plots, spanning 44 countries and most terrestrial biomes, we reveal a globally consistent positive conca...
Temperature-sensitive colloidal phase behavior induced by critical Casimir forces
Dang, Minh Triet; Vila Verde, A.; Nguyen, Van Duc; Bolhuis, Peter G.; Schall, PeterWe report Monte Carlo simulations of phase behavior of colloidal suspensions with near-critical binary solvents using effective pair potentials from experiments. At off-critical solvent composition, the calculated phase diagram agrees well with measurements of the experimental system, indicating that many-body effects are limited. Close to the critical composition, however, agreement between experiment and simu...
