The impact of insect herbivory on biogeochemical cycling in broadleaved forests varies with temperature
AbstractHerbivorous insects alter biogeochemical cycling within forests, but the magnitude of these impacts, their global variation, and drivers of this variation remain poorly understood. To…
Partial asynchrony of coniferous forest carbon sources and sinks at the intra-annual time scale
AbstractAs major terrestrial carbon sinks, forests play an important role in mitigating climate change. The relationship between the seasonal uptake of carbon and its allocation…
Arbuscular mycorrhizal trees influence the latitudinal beta-diversity gradient of tree communities in forests worldwide
AbstractArbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) associations are critical for host-tree performance. However, how mycorrhizal associations correlate with the latitudinal tree beta-diversity remains untested. Using…
Trait-based explanation of circadian flight rhythms in bark and ambrosia beetles (Scolytinae)
Abstract Understanding the circadian rhythms of bark and ambrosia beetles (Scolytinae) is crucial for assessing their dispersal strategies, trophic specialisation, and microhabitat preferences. This study…
