This paper shows that using random noise to represent unexplained intraspecific variability in ecological models can lead to inaccurate community dynamics simulations.

The paper shows that high intraspecific variability in plant communities may be driven by environmental factors rather than random variation, and that this has implications for understanding species coexistence.

This study shows that human disturbance has a greater impact on tree species distribution in Afrotropical forests than climate or soil factors.

The paper forecasts a 3-8% decrease in Afrotropical forest species richness by the end of the century, contrasting with a 30-50% loss predicted for Neotropical forests under similar warming.
