      Climate reverses directionality in the richness–abundance relationship across the World’s main forest biomes 

      Madrigal González, Jaime; Calatayud, Joaquín; Ballesteros Cánovas, Juan; Escudero, Adrián; Cayuela, Luis; Rueda, Marta; Ruiz Benito, Paloma; Herrero Méndez, Asier; Aponte, Cristina; Sagardia, Rodrigo; Plumptre, Andrew J.; Dupire, Sylvain; Espinosa, Carlos I.; Tutubalina, Olga; Mynt, Moe; Pataro, Luciano; López Sáez, Jerome; Macía, Manuel J.; Abegg, Meinrad; Zavala, Miguel A.; Quesada Román, Adolfo; Vega Araya, Mauricio; Golubeva, Elena; Timokhina, Yuliya; Stoffel, Markus (Nature, 2020-11-06)
      More tree species can increase the carbon storage capacity of forests (here referred to as the more species hypothesis) through increased tree productivity and tree abundance resulting from complementarity, but they can ...

      Global patterns of tree density are contingent upon local determinants in the world’s natural forests 

      Madrigal González, Jaime; Calatayud, Joaquín; Ballesteros Cánovas, Juan A.; Escudero, Adrián; Cayuela, Luis; Marqués, Laura; Rueda, Marta; Ruiz Benito, Paloma; Herrero Méndez, Asier; Aponte, Cristina; Sagardia, Rodrigo; Plumptre, Andrew J.; Dupire, Sylvain; Espinosa, Carlos I.; Tutubalina, Olga V.; Myint, Moe; Pataro, Luciano; López Sáez, Jerome; Macía, Manuel J.; Abegg, Meinrad; Zavala, Miguel A.; Quesada Román, Adolfo; Vega Araya, Mauricio; Golubeva, Elena; Timokhina, Yuliya; Bañares de Dios, Guillermo; Granzow de la Cerda, Iñigo; Stoffel, Markus (Nature, 2023-01)
      Previous attempts to quantify tree abundance at global scale have largely neglected the role of local competition in modulating the influence of climate and soils on tree density. Here, we evaluated whether mean tree size ...

      Positive associations among rare species and their persistence in ecological assemblages 

      Calatayud, Joaquín; Andivia, Enrique; Escudero, Adrián; Melián, Carlos J.; Bernardo Madrid, Rubén; Stoffel, Markus; Aponte, Cristina; García Medina, Nagore; Molina Venegas, Rafael; Arnan, Xabier; Rosvall, Martin; Neuman, Magnus; Ari Noriega, Jorge; Alves Martins, Fernanda; Draper, Isabel; Luzuriaga, Arantzazu; Ballesteros Cánovas, Juan A.; Morales Molino, César; Ferrandis, Pablo; Herrero Méndez, Asier; Pataro, Luciano; Juen, Leandro; Cea, Alex; Madrigal González, Jaime (Springer Nature, 2019-12-16)
      According to the competitive exclusion principle, species with low competitive abilities should be excluded by more efficient competitors; yet, they generally remain as rare species. Here, we describe the positive and ...
