Unraveling forest coexistence 🌳
Prof. Matteo Detto (Princeton University) presents a theory of functional diversity in forest dynamics models.

Ruiting Wang et al. explored the threshold-dependent relationship between #FunctionalDiversity and tree species #EcologicalMultifunctionality along urban and suburban gradients and their environmental regulatory mechanisms.

Chun-Feng Gu et al. investigated how the effect of #TaxonomicDiversity on aboveground biomass (AGB) is related to shifts in the roles of #FunctionalDiversity and #FunctionalDominance of five functional traits.

❓ [🌳 #SubtropicalForestSuccession 🌳] #FunctionalDiversity & #FunctionalDominance ➡️ aboveground biomass (AGB)

Results:
1️⃣ succession ⬆️, AGB ⬆️ → middle stage, AGB 🔝;
2️⃣ strength of action: functional dominance > functional diversity.

Not sure which #FunctionalDiversity / #disparity metric to use? Maybe these reflections in Ecography with Pedro Cardoso, Maria Jorgensen, @stefanomammola and Tom Matthews could help! #OA https://nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ecog.07580

Estic treballant de nou amb la meua tesi. Sembla que la vaig llegir fa dos dies, i ja fa dos anys i mig!!

I am working again on my thesis. It feels like yesterday, but it's been two and a half years already!!
