6/.🌍 This finding has broad implications:. From biodiversity mapping and forest management.to predicting how plant communities respond to global change;. We need to look beyond climate and into the forest canopy.

5/.Here’s the key insight:. Canopy composition, especially shrubs, reflects local environmental variation in ways that macroclimate cannot. And this matters when modelling which species make up the understory.

4/.The result?. ✅ Canopy-informed models clearly outperformed climate-only models.✅ The strongest predictor was shrub layer taxonomic β-diversity, followed by that of trees.✅ These models captured more spatial heterogeneity in the understory.

3/.In our study, we compared:. 🟤 A baseline model using only macroenvironmental predictors.🟢 Several canopy-informed models incorporating tree and shrub β-diversity (taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic).

2/.Tree and shrub layers shape the microenvironment:.light, humidity, soil moisture, nutrient cycling…. Yet these fine-scale conditions are hard to measure across large areas. Canopy species composition could offer a useful proxy. 🔍.

1/.Forest understories, rich in herbs and small woody plants, harbour much of a forest’s biodiversity. Traditionally, we try to explain their composition using broad-scale climatic variables. But understory conditions depend on what’s above them. 🌲🌿.

🌳 How can we predict which plants grow in the forest understory across Europe?. Climate helps, but it’s not the whole story. What if the forest itself holds the key?. New paper led by Sánchez-Dávila in Global Ecology & Biogeography👇.🔗 🧵.
