    • Making a Net Zero Society - Follow the Social Science. Summary report 

      Bickerstaff, K; Abram, S; Christie, I; et al. (ACCESS Project, University of Exeter, 10 September 2024)
      The Economic and Social Research Council-funded ACCESS network drew together an independent task force of experts to consider the role of social science in UK net zero policy. The task force, which ran for one year between ...

    • Mapping density, diversity and species-richness of the Amazon tree flora 

      ter Steege, H; Pitman, NCA; do Amaral, IL; et al. (Nature Research, 8 November 2023)
      Using 2.046 botanically-inventoried tree plots across the largest tropical forest on Earth, we mapped tree species-diversity and tree species-richness at 0.1-degree resolution, and investigated drivers for diversity and ...

    • One sixth of Amazonian tree diversity is dependent on river floodplains 

      Householder, JE; Wittmann, F; Schöngart, J; et al. (Springer Nature, 11 March 2024)
      Amazonia’s floodplain system is the largest and most biodiverse on Earth. Although forests are crucial to the ecological integrity of floodplains, our understanding of their species composition and how this may differ from ...

    • Dominance and rarity in tree communities across the globe: Patterns, predictors and threats 

      Hordijk, I; Bialic‐Murphy, L; Lauber, T; et al. (Wiley, 17 July 2024)
      Aim: Ecological and anthropogenic factors shift the abundances of dominant and rare tree species within local forest communities, thus affecting species composition and ecosystem functioning. To inform forest and conservation ...

    • The biogeography of the Amazonian tree flora 

      Luize, BG; Tuomisto, H; Ekelschot, R; et al. (Nature Research, 2 October 2024)
      We describe the geographical variation in tree species composition across Amazonian forests and show how environmental conditions are associated with species turnover. Our analyses are based on 2023 forest inventory plots ...
