The latitudinal gradient in plant community assembly processes: A meta-analysis

Keita Nishizawa, Naoto Shinohara, Marc W. Cadotte, Akira S. Mori

Summary: Beta-diversity generally decreases with increasing latitude. Geographic variables mainly explain the variations in plant community composition at low and high latitudes, while environmental variables correlate most strongly with variation in species composition at mid-latitudes.

Identifying effective tree planting schemes to restore forest carbon and biodiversity in Shiretoko National Park, Japan

Yuta Kobayashi, Rupert Seidl, Werner Rammer, Kureha F. Suzuki, Akira S. Mori

Summary: This study investigates the potential of tree planting for ecosystem restoration in a cool-temperate forest in northern Japan. The research shows that species-rich, high-density planting scenarios perform best in restoration areas close to natural forests. However, biodiversity restoration is delayed when planted species richness is low or restoration areas are far from a seed source.

Summary: Despite progress in understanding global biodiversity loss, there are still taxonomic and geographic knowledge gaps. Decision makers often rely on expert judgement, but cannot engage with large and diverse groups of specialists. A survey of biodiversity experts worldwide revealed consensus and differences in perspectives and estimates, with underrepresented groups recommending different conservation priorities and providing higher estimates of biodiversity loss.

Summary: Safeguarding Earth's tree diversity is crucial for biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, current protected areas provide limited protection for a large number of tree species, which are under significant human pressure. Including priority areas in conservation efforts can greatly improve the protection of tree species and overall terrestrial biodiversity.

Enhancing the structural diversity between forest patches-A concept and real-world experiment to study biodiversity, multifunctionality and forest resilience across spatial scales

Joerg Mueller, Oliver Mitesser, Marc W. Cadotte, Fons van der Plas, Akira S. Mori, Christian Ammer, Anne Chao, Michael Scherer-Lorenzen, Petr Baldrian, Claus Baessler, Peter Biedermann, Simone Cesarz, Alice Classen, Benjamin M.

Peters, Kerstin Pierick, Thomas Schmitt, Bernhard Schuldt, Dominik Seidel, Diana Six, Ingolf Steffan-Dewenter, Simon Thorn, Goddert von Oheimb, Martin Wegmann, Wolfgang W. Weisser, Nico Eisenhauer

Summary: Intensification of land use by humans has led to a homogenization of landscapes and decreasing resilience of ecosystems globally due to a loss of biodiversity, including the majority of forests. Biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF) research has provided compelling evidence for a positive effect of biodiversity on ecosystem functions and services at the local (alpha-diversity) scale, but we largely lack empirical evidence on how the loss of between-patch beta-diversity affects biodiversity and multifunctionality at the landscape scale (gamma-diversity).

Dominant temperate and subalpine Japanese trees have variable photosynthetic thermal optima according to site mean annual temperature

Yuta Kobayashi, Chihiro Haga, Naoto Shinohara, Keita Nishizawa, Akira S. Mori

Summary: The study found a positive relationship between temperature and the optimum temperature for photosynthesis. By analyzing satellite data, researchers were able to estimate the optimum temperature based on the average temperature in subalpine and temperate forests in Japan. This finding has important implications for estimating productivity.

Drivers of community assembly change during succession in wood-decomposing beetle communities

Sebastian Seibold, Wolfgang W. Weisser, Didem Ambarli, Martin M. Gossner, Akira S. Mori, Marc W. Cadotte, Jonas Hagge, Claus Baessler, Simon Thorn

Summary: This study evaluates the changes in beta-diversity of saproxylic beetle communities during deadwood succession and identifies the major drivers of these changes. The results show that beta-diversity of saproxylic beetle communities increases over time and is positively correlated with phylogenetic distance between tree species and spatial distance among regions. The effects of spatial distance, climate, and forest structure remain constant throughout the succession process. The diversity of saproxylic beetles can be enhanced by promoting forests with diverse tree communities and structures.

Assessing the importance of species and their assemblages for the biodiversity-ecosystem multifunctionality relationship

Akira S. Mori, Forest Isbell, Marc W. Cadotte

Summary: Biodiversity changes can have serious consequences for ecosystem functionality. This study introduces different methods to assess the relationship between diversity and multifunctionality, focusing on redundancy/uniqueness and the influence of the number and identity of functions. The results highlight the importance of retaining high levels of diversity in managed assemblages and emphasize the need to unravel the hierarchical roles of biodiversity. Understanding the relationship between biodiversity and multifunctionality is crucial for both theory and practice.

Perspective: sustainability challenges, opportunities and solutions for long-term ecosystem observations

Akira S. Mori, Kureha F. Suzuki, Masakazu Hori, Taku Kadoya, Kotaro Okano, Aya Uraguchi, Hiroyuki Muraoka, Tamotsu Sato, Hideaki Shibata, Yukari Suzuki-Ohno, Keisuke Koba, Mariko Toda, Shin-ichi Nakano, Michio Kondoh, Kaoru Kitajima, Masahiro Nakamura

Summary: As interest in natural capital grows and society increasingly recognizes the value of biodiversity, we must discuss how ecosystem observations to detect changes in biodiversity can be sustained through collaboration across regions and sectors. However, there are many barriers to establishing and sustaining large-scale, fine-resolution ecosystem observations. First, comprehensive monitoring data on both biodiversity and possible anthropogenic factors are lacking. Second, some in situ ecosystem observations cannot be systematically established and maintained across locations. Third, equitable solutions across sectors and countries are needed to build a global network.

Giving fair credits to efforts in science and policy

Akira S. Mori, Forest Isbell

Summary: International collaborations are aimed at addressing global environmental issues, and academic work and science policy interfaces play a crucial role, although their significance is often overlooked by scholars. There is a need for fair credit distribution, transparency, and diversity in academia and policy reports, recognizing that these factors can enhance inclusivity and equity, driving solutions.

Hill-Chao numbers allow decomposing gamma multifunctionality into alpha and beta components

Delory, Heike Feldhaar, Andreas Fichtner, Torsten Hothorn, Marcell K. Peters, Kerstin Pierick, Goddert von Oheimb, Joerg Mueller

Summary: Biodiversity plays a crucial role in ecosystem functioning, and current research mainly focuses on local ecosystems. However, the increasing homogenization of landscapes in the Anthropocene may also impact biodiversity and ecosystem functioning at larger scales. To address this issue, a new statistical framework based on Hill-Chao numbers is proposed to quantify biodiversity and multifunctionality at different scales.

Untangling the threads of conservation: A closer look at restoration and preservation

Akira S. Mori, Forest Isbell

Summary: Global goals and targets have been set for biodiversity conservation in the coming decade. It is important to carefully consider the effectiveness of different strategies for conservation, such as restoration and preservation. Prioritizing the preservation of intact and pristine areas is crucial, as even the best restoration efforts can only partially recreate natural systems. It is necessary to recognize the fundamental differences between the types of places that are priorities for preservation, restoration, or both.
