DOI: 10.1007/s10021-017-0196-y
Abstract: A positive relationship between tree diversity and forest productivity is reported for many forested biomes of the world. However, whether tree diversity is able to increase the stability of forest growth to changes in climate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-022-29615-8
Abstract: The mechanistic pathways connecting ocean-atmosphere variability and terrestrial productivity are well-established theoretically, but remain challenging to quantify empirically. Such quantification will greatly improve the assessment and prediction of changes in terrestrial carbon sequestration in response… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2314231121
Abstract: Significance Ecosystem services provided by forests—including wildlife habitat, wood, fiber, and carbon storage—depend on forest productivity, the collective biomass growth of individual trees. Forest productivity is thought to increase with tree biodiversity, but there are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.70183
Abstract: Disturbances play a key role in forest dynamics globally, with various effects on productivity. Tree diversity is expected to attenuate the negative impact of disturbance on forest productivity, but its overall effect has been little… read more here.
