The #Anthropocene is one big SES leading to widespread #vegetation change. #Succession is an integral part of #socioecological system (SES) dynamics that it is driven by social and ecological factors operating at different spatial scales. doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.4… #restoration
How to analyse #succession? We present a conceptual framework how to analyse successional processes, underlying #mechanisms, and drivers for #vegetation across the globe. One of the best papers I have (co)written! Hope you like it. doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.4… #restoration #ecology
How to survive drought and heat? #Drought #mortality of #conifer #tree #species is not related to hydraulic stem failure- it increases with leaf lifespan bc of crown dieback, and with lower growth resilience to previous droughts bc of C depletion. SciencAdv 10.1126/sciadv.adl4800

For me, the #Anthropocene is characterised by any significant & irreversible human influences on the Earth's environment. It's a shame it's rejected by Geologists!

Scots pine mortality is now moving towards the climatic core areas of the species distribution (see the location of red dots in the figure on the right)
Our new review indicates that tree-level acclimation strategies such as lowering leaf area and enhancing water-use efficiency as well as stand-level adjustments including self-thinning are not sufficient to prevent drought-induced Scots pine mortality: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S03…

You have to "write simply for a general scientific audience" when submitting to PNAS/Science/Nature. But then every paper from cell, molecular, or cancer research is a jargon and acronym salad that is completely incomprehensible. Why the double standard for Ecology?
How to get a structurally diverse forest? Canopy #trees have the fastest height #growth, followed by subcanopy and understory trees. Growth differences amongst #forest strata and #species lead to a rapid variation in tree sizes and structural #diversity. doi.org/10.1111/oik.10…
