Call for a 2-year research position in Bologna! Deadline: Jan 8th 2024


Double great news: We had two papers published in the last month! One is the relationship between traits and drought resistance (ow.ly/8rUp50PP66t) and the other on the digitization a vegetation dataset from Patagonia (doi.org/10.1111/jvs.13…).

In the 1970s, a pioneer team of Argentinian, Chilean and UK biogeographers studied the vegetation of Patagonia along a 450 km transect. Now the data are available #OA and published in @JVSAVS, thanks to a collaboration with @sPlot_iDiv @CONICETDialoga onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jv…

Beautiful use of the @sPlot_iDiv vegetation database ⬇️ Vulnerability to embolism #P50 & root length in woody plants are independent or othogonal traits selected by aridity, seasonality & water table depth 🚨 Just published @NewPhyt 🤩 📖 ow.ly/8rUp50PP66t

Do you already know the open version of sPlot, sPlotOpen? If not, this is a good opportunity to check it out! We have released an updated version correcting some mismatches in species occurrences. You can access the version 2.0 of this open dataset at doi.org/10.25829/idiv.…

Nice to see Thore Engel’s paper published! It used the @sPlot_iDiv global vegetation plot data base and started during⁦⁩ Thore’s MSc at the Graduate Program in Ecology, UFRGS, Porto Alegre. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ge…


📢📢 New sPlot paper published! ⭐️⭐️ @ThoreEngel led this great study in which the prevalence of traits from dominant species drives ecosystem function in grasslands worldwide. Check it at onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

How do plant functional traits contribute to ecosystem functioning? Using grassland data from @sPlot_iDiv and #MODIS satellite images, we found a disproprortionate contribution of dominant plant species to peak season productivity @GEB_macro onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Plant functional traits should be tightly linked to climate, but this was elusive to prove at the global scale. @KambachStephan shows why: The relationship is habitat specific 🔥Hot off the press🔥nature.com/articles/s4146… @sPlot_iDiv

I am excited to share our new @NatureEcoEvo paper that uses @inaturalist citizen science observations to map plant functional traits on a global scale! 🔗nature.com/articles/s4155… #iNatTraitMaps #CitizenScience #firstpaper @Rsc4Earth @UniLeipzig @NFDI4BioDiv @idiv 🧵1/8

I am very happy for @so_phiewolf! Her first PhD paper was just published @NatureEcoEvo where she combined @inaturalist #CitizenScience data and @TryPlantTraitDB to generate global maps of #planttraits and compared them to @sPlot_iDiv nature.com/articles/s4155… 🧵1/7


There is a #paradox in #biodiversity conservation: species disappear regionally, but local species richness is stable @HelgeBruelheide @idiv @UniHalle and colleagues tackle this problem for Germany. Hot of the press: nature.com/articles/s4158…

A new study incl. authors from @IBOTCZ shows that the Eastern European forest-steppe region is home to a similar number of plant species as the Amazon rainforest, which only becomes apparent when species are counted in smaller sampling areas. nature.com/articles/s4146… @NatureComms
