Interannual variability & directional changes affect species composition dynamics but are challenging to quantify. Can yearly-resolved vegetation plot time series give us a better understanding? A new paper by Sabatini et al. https://t.co/mtwrFdeYeB
onlinelibrary.wiley.com
Change in species composition over time is the result of both interannual variability and directional change, but their relative importance can be clouded by pseudoturnover. We developed a matrix...

Do evergreen 🌲or deciduous 🌳trees (“phorophytes”) host a greater diversity of epiphytes? Victoriano-Romero & Figueroa-Castro compiled the first study to compare phorophyte-epiphyte networks between different leaf 🍂phenologies. https://t.co/GCyD9LafAj
onlinelibrary.wiley.com
Phorophytes with contrasting leaf phenology offer different microenvironments to vascular epiphytes. Evergreen phorophytes hosted a greater diversity (1D, 2D), as well as greater networks than...

Community-level stability includes temporal and spatial dimensions, but most studies focus only on the temporal dimension. Bai et al. shows why the two dimensions need to be studied independently and how nitrogen affects them. https://t.co/Y1CUFZOQYS
onlinelibrary.wiley.com
This study investigates how nitrogen addition affects temporal and spatial stability of community biomass in alpine meadows. Using 5 years of experimental data, it highlights the key roles of...
