Very happy to have @danielfzuleta.bsky.social visit in Uppsala! His seminar on tropical tree mortality highlighted tons of fascinating work with #ForestGEO, @ngeetropics.bsky.social, @forestplots.bsky.social and others. Great examples of how to work well with big teams on big questions in ecology!

Latitudinal scaling of aggregation with abundance and coexistence in forests - Nature A unified framework is presented that integrates observed spatial patterns of individual trees in forests with ecological processes into a novel coexistence theory.

Excited to be part of this #ForestGEO collaboration—led by Thorsten Wiegand & Xugao Wang—exploring patterns, causes, and consequences of spatial aggregation in common and rare tree species across temperate and tropical forests. 🌳 🌴 🌐

Pawpaws prevent predictability: A locally dominant tree alters understory beta‐diversity and community assembly While dominant species are known to be important in ecosystem functioning and community assembly, biodiversity responses to the presence of dominant species can be highly variable. Dominant species c...

Congrats to Anna Wassel on this new paper exploring how a locally dominant and regionally iconic temperate forest tree (pawpaw) alters understory plant biodiversity and community assembly 🌱
