The paper examines how Quaternary climate change influences tree beta-diversity globally, finding temperature changes since the Last Glacial Maximum strongly affect turnover and nestedness components.

The paper identifies factors driving functional trait data gaps in the Atlantic Forest, finding larger gaps for small-ranged and economically used species, and in eastern regions away from urban areas.

The paper maps global tree diversity patterns and shows that both current and ancient climates influence tree species richness, functional, and phylogenetic diversity.

The paper identifies priority areas for global tree conservation and finds that half are unprotected and face human threats.
