    • Forest Degradation Index: A Tool for Forest Vulnerability Assessment in Indian Western Himalaya 

      Jha, Shashidhar Kumar; Negi, Ajeet Kumar; Alatalo, Juha Mikael; Prabhu, Vignesh; Jha, Mani Bhushan; ... more authors ( MDPI , 2022 , Article)
      The global climate is showing altered temperatures and precipitation levels. Forests can be a stabilizing force in climate change. They regulate the nutrient cycle, protect species and diversity, and support livelihoods ...

    • Global patterns in endemicity and vulnerability of soil fungi 

      Tedersoo, Leho; Mikryukov, Vladimir; Zizka, Alexander; Bahram, Mohammad; Hagh-Doust, Niloufar; ... more authors ( Wiley , 2022 , Article)
      Fungi are highly diverse organisms, which provide multiple ecosystem services. However, compared with charismatic animals and plants, the distribution patterns and conservation needs of fungi have been little explored. ...

    • Global plant trait relationships extend to the climatic extremes of the tundra biome 

      Thomas, H. J. D.; Bjorkman, A. D.; Myers-Smith, I. H.; Elmendorf, S. C.; Diaz, J. Kattge, S.; ... more authors ( Nature Research , 2020 , Article)
      The majority of variation in six traits critical to the growth, survival and reproduction of plant species is thought to be organised along just two dimensions, corresponding to strategies of plant size and resource ...

    • A new method for broad-scale modeling and projection of plant assemblages under climatic, biotic, and environmental cofiltering. 

      Ferrarini, Alessandro; Bai, Yang; Dai, Junhu; Alatalo, Juha M. ( Wiley , 2021 , Article)
      There is increasing interest in broad-scale analysis, modeling, and prediction of the distribution and composition of plant species assemblages under climatic, environmental, and biotic filtering, particularly for conservation ...

    • SoilTemp: A global database of near-surface temperature 

      Lembrechts, Jonas J.; Aalto, Juha; Ashcroft, Michael B.; De Frenne, Pieter; Kopecký, Martin; ... more authors ( wiley , 2020 , Report)
      © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd Current analyses and predictions of spatially explicit patterns and processes in ecology most often rely on climate data interpolated from standardized weather stations. This interpolated ...

    • The tundra phenology database: More than two decades of tundra phenology responses to climate change 

      Prevéy, Janet; Elmendorf, Sarah; Bjorkman, Anne; Alatalo, Juha; Ashton, Isabel; ... more authors ( NRC Research Press , 2021 , Article)
      Observations of changes in phenology have provided some of the strongest signals of the effects of climate change on terrestrial ecosystems. The International Tundra Experiment (ITEX), initiated in the early 1990s, established ...
