INTRODUCTION The biodiversity-productivity relationship (BPR; the effect of biodiversity on
ecosystem productivity) is foundational to our understanding of the global extinction crisis …

Aim To evaluate the climate sensitivity of model‐based forest productivity estimates using a
continental‐scale tree‐ring network. Location E urope and N orth A frica (30–70 N , 10 W –…

One of the most fundamental questions in ecology is how many species inhabit the Earth.
However, due to massive logistical and financial challenges and taxonomic difficulties …

European forests are intensively exploited for wood products, yet they also form a sink for
carbon. European forest inventories, available for the past 50 years, can be combined with …

Intra-annual radial growth variations of two Norway spruce trees (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) were
monitored over 4 years, at four heights up the stem, by means of point-dendrometers. The …

It has been suggested that diverse forests utilize canopy space more efficiently than species‐poor
ones, as mixing species with complementary architectural and physiological traits …

Energy and water limitations of tree growth remain insufficiently understood at large
spatiotemporal scales, hindering model representation of interannual or longer-term ecosystem …

The importance of biodiversity in supporting ecosystem functioning is generally well accepted.
However, most evidence comes from small‐scale studies, and scaling‐up patterns of …

Considerable evidence exists that current global temperatures are higher than at any time
during the past millennium. However, the long-term impacts of rising temperatures and …

Both theory and evidence suggest that diversity stabilises productivity in herbaceous plant
communities through a combination of overyielding, species asynchrony and favourable …
