The PhenoChange network protocol for monitoring leaf phenology in tropical dry ecosystems using phenocameras

Desirée M. Ramos, Francisco Maiato P. Goncalves, Magna Soelma de Moura, Mário Marcos do Espírito‐Santo et autres

Abstract Tropical dry ecosystems (TDEs) cover half of the tropics and play a key role in global carbon dynamics. TDEs present distinct canopy and ground layers that often exhibit contrasting phenological patterns. On‐the‐ground observations of phenology by the human eye, though valuable, …

R markdown for the analysis of tree growth rates and their determinants in the indeginous woodlands of Zimbabwe

Tatenda Gotore, Anderson Muchawona, Lorena Benitez, Sipho C Gumbo et autres

Tree growth rates determine ecosystem structure, community interactions, and sustainable harvesting rates. Understanding their determinants can provide insights into likely responses to global change, but in southern African woodlands, such studies are sparse. This limits assessments of whether timber harvesting is sustainable …

Tracking Aboveground Biomass Dynamics in Africa: Evidence for a Changing Role in Carbon Cycling

Nezha Acil, Pedro Rodriguez-Veiga, Casey M. Ryan, Penelope J. Mograbi et autres

With their dense tropical forests and vast woody savannas, African ecosystems play a crucial role in global carbon regulation. However, recent findings show their role is shifting from carbon sink to source. Assessing changes in aboveground biomass (AGB) requires consistent time series …

Determinants of L-band backscatter in dry tropical ecosystems: Implications for biomass mapping

João M.B. Carreiras, Thomas Higginbottom, John L. Godlee, S. Harrison et autres

Accurate characterization of the role of the dry tropics in the global carbon cycle requires precise estimation of woody biomass changes due to ecological and anthropogenic change, including deforestation, forest degradation, regrowth, mortality and enhanced tree growth due to climate change. L-band …

The Coexistence of Trees, Shrubs, and Grasses Creates a Complex Picture of Land Surface Phenology in Dry Tropical Ecosystems

Stephanie P. Koolen, John L. Godlee, Bruna Alberton, Desirée M. Ramos et autres

The use of digital cameras to monitor vegetation phenology (phenocams) has become increasingly common as a means of ground truthing estimates of land surface phenology from Earth observation data. Whilst the relationship between phenocam and Earth Observation-derived indices of land surface phenology …

The global spectrum of tree crown architecture

Tommaso Jucker, Fabian Jörg Fischer, Jérôme Chave, David A. Coomes et autres

Trees can differ enormously in their crown architectural traits, such as the scaling relationships between tree height, crown width and stem diameter. Yet despite the importance of crown architecture in shaping the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems, we lack a complete …

Patterns and Drivers of Phylogenetic Beta Diversity in the Forests and Savannas of Africa

Mathew Rees, Adeline Fayolle, John L. Godlee, Anaïs Gorel et autres

ABSTRACT Aim Studying beta diversity, or the variation in species composition among communities, can give insights into plant community assembly over space and time. If different biomes show contrasting large‐scale beta‐diversity patterns, this can indicate divergent evolutionary histories or ecological processes that …

Quantifying unseen woody biomass and diversity in understorey trees and shrubs at the extremes of water availability in the Miombo ecoregion

Hermane Diesse, John L. Godlee, Nichola M. Knox, Jonathan Ilunga Muledi et autres

The Miombo ecoregion covers eastern and southern Africa, with variations in plant species composition, structure, and biomass across a broad precipitation gradient. Most studies of woody plant communities focus exclusively on larger overstorey trees (≥5 or ≥10 ​cm stem diameter), overlooking the …

Site‐Specific Nutrient Data Reveal the Importance of Soils in Driving the Mycorrhizal Make‐Up of Woody Vegetation Worldwide

Xiaobin Hua, Christopher H. Lusk, Ian A. Dickie, Stephen Adu‐Bredu et autres

ABSTRACT Aim Arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM) and ectomycorrhizas (ECM) have different impacts on nutrient cycling, carbon storage, community dynamics and enhancement of photosynthesis by rising CO2. Recent global analyses have concluded that patterns of AM/ECM dominance in forests worldwide are shaped by climate, …
