To advance understanding of biodiversity and ecosystem function, ecologists seek widely applicable relationships among species diversity and other ecosystem characteristics such as species ...

The aboveground biomass of vegetation is significant to the global carbon cycle and climate change mitigation. Both biotic factors, such as forest structure attributes, community-weighted mean of ...

Subtropical ecosystems encompass forests, woodlands and shrublands that serve as critical interfaces between tropical and temperate zones. Biomass dynamics in these landscapes reflect the balance ...

A new study paints a vivid image of how forests developed over centuries and contribute to Earth's carbon balance -- a crucial component to maintaining a steady global climate. The study reconstructed ...
