This study evaluates local adaptation and physiological responses of bur oak populations to warming climates through reciprocal transplant experiments across North America.

This study shows that forest structural stability, influenced by diversity and composition, enhances productivity through species complementarity and temporal stability of forest structure.

The paper introduces a long-term tree diversity experiment to study how species diversity and composition affect ecosystem function and resilience, with findings showing higher mortality in monocultures and the importance of diversity in reducing tree mortality.

This paper develops PLSR models using reflectance spectroscopy to estimate leaf litter chemical traits non-destructively with high accuracy.
