Observed relationship between forest structural complexity and tree species diversity (a), spatial structures of tree species diversity (b), and forest structural complexity (c) at 20-m quadrat scale in the Tiantong plot.

🌲#ForestStructuralComplexity and #TreeDiversity inherently facilitate mutual reinforcement in natural forests, but confounding factors like #CanopyHeight and #StandDensity may mask this relationship.

Canopy height and stand density mask nature’s inherent synergy between forest structural complexity and diversity Abstract. Tree species diversity is widely assumed to correlate positively with structural complexity in forests, as differences in crown architecture amon

How Tree Diversity Controls Red Imported Fire Ants Red imported fire ants pose a significant threat to agriculture and wildlife. They invade and damage farms and crops and harm wildlife. These ants have spread rapidly in many areas, and they are very difficult to control. Yet, there is a natural solution, and that is tree diversity. Instead, we would plant different tree species, so the landscape itself is difficult for these ants.

Are you concerned about the aggressive spread of red imported fire ants? These invasive pests are causing damage to crops, livestock, and local wildlife. But did you know that tree diversity can provide a natural solution? #TreeDiversity

🌳 Fascinating work in @globalchangebio! 🌿 Trees have so many ways of thriving, and diverse strategies across species prove to boost ecosystem productivity.
Thanks to ‪@mixedforests.bsky.social‬ for pushing #TreeDiversity research forward!

New study shows how Amazon trees use recent rainfall in the dry season and support the production of their own rain | The-14 Amazon trees recycle recent rainfall in the dry season, sustaining moisture, fueling new rain, and keeping the rainforest’s delicate water cycle alive.

In parallel with doing #treediversity research, I am also putting it in practice while on "FAO shutdown". 3 new chestnut saplings planted in area a bit over their attributed altitudinal limit. Anticipating #climatechange!

On my first day of official break...or "FAO shutdown" as I called it yesterday. A bit of time now to dedicate to #treediversity and #ForestEcosystems, but still engaged with #Liberia's #NationalForestInventory!
