Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global databases of species’ threat status or population time series are dominated by charismatic species.

Widespread habitat degradation and uncharacteristic fire, insect, and disease outbreaks in forests across
the western United States have led to highly publicized calls to increase the pace and scale of forest restoration.
Despite these calls, we frequently lack a comprehensive understanding of forest restoration
needs. In this study we demonstrate...

Non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) in plant tissue are frequently quantified to make inferences about plant responses to environmental conditions. Laboratories publishing estimates of NSC of woody plants use many different methods to evaluate NSC. We asked whether NSC estimates in the recent literature could be quantitatively compared among studies. We also...

The ¹⁴CO₂ composition of plant and soil respiration can be used to determine the residence time of photosynthetically fixed carbon before it is released back to the atmosphere. To estimate the residence time of actively cycled carbon in a temperate forest, we employed two approaches for estimating the Δ¹⁴CO₂ of...

Species distribution models (SDMs) are increasingly applied in conservation management
to predict suitable habitat for poorly known populations. High predictive performance of
SDMs is evident in validations performed within the model calibration area (interpolation),
but few studies have assessed SDM transferability to novel areas (extrapolation), particularly
across large spatial scales...
