Investigating LiDAR Metrics for Old-Growth Beech- and Spruce-Dominated Forest Identification in Central Europe by Devara P. Adiningrat, Andrew Skidmore, Michael Schlund, Tiejun Wang, Haidi Abdullah, Marco Heurich

“…Old-growth forests are essential for maintaining biodiversity, as they are formed by the complexity of diverse forest structures, such as broad variations in tree height and diameter (DBH) and conditions of living and dead trees, leading to various ecological niches. However, many efforts of old-growth forest mapping from LiDAR have targeted only one specific forest structure (e.g., stand height, basal area, or stand density) by deriving information through a large number of LiDAR metrics. …”

A novel framework unveiling the importance of heterogeneous selection and drift on the community structure of symbiotic microbial indicator taxa across altitudinal gradients in amp... by Jin Zhou, Zhidong Liu, Sishuo Wang, Jing Li, Lin Zhang, Ziyan Liao

“…Altogether, our modeling framework is a robust and valuable tool that further enlarges our insight into microbiota community assembly.IMPORTANCEDistinguishing the drivers regulating microbial community assembly is essential in microbial ecology. We propose a novel modeling framework to partition the relative contributions of each individual or group of microbial DSUs and DTUs into different underpinning mechanisms. …”

Factors accounting for limited sexual reproduction in a long-lived unisexual plant species by Irene Bisang, Flavien Collart, Flavien Collart, Alain Vanderpoorten, Lars Hedenäs

“…In particular, we test the hypotheses that (i) sex-expressing males and females exhibit different ecological niches and (ii) environmental variation drives sex expression, sporophyte formation, and hence, dispersal capacities.MethodsWe scored 1,080 specimens of the unisexual moss Abietinella abietina across Sweden as non-sex expressing, expressing female or male, or sporophytic. …”
