Linking Remote Sensing and Geodiversity and their Traits Relevant to Biodiversity – Part I: Soil Characteristics (2019)
Journal Article
Lausch, A., Baade, J., Bannehr, L., Borg, E., Bumberger, J., Chabrilliat, S., …Schaepman, M. E. (2019). Linking Remote Sensing and Geodiversity and their Traits Relevant to Biodiversity – Part I: Soil Characteristics. Remote Sensing, 11(20), 1-51. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs11202356

In the face of rapid global change it is imperative to preserve geodiversity for the overall conservation of biodiversity. Geodiversity is important for understanding complex biogeochemical and physical processes and is directly and indirectly linked...

Challenges and opportunities for biogeography-What can we still learn from von Humboldt? (2019)
Journal Article
Schrodt, F., Santos, M. J., Bailey, J. J., & Field, R. (2019). Challenges and opportunities for biogeography-What can we still learn from von Humboldt?. Journal of Biogeography, 46(8), 1631-1642. https://doi.org/10.1111/jbi.13616

Alexander von Humboldt was arguably the most influential scientist of his day. Although his fame has since lessened relative to some of his contemporaries, we argue that his influence remains strong-mainly because his approach to science inspired oth...

Leaf economics and plant hydraulics drive leaf/wood area ratios (2019)
Journal Article
Mencuccini, M., Rosas, T., Rowland, L., Choat, B., Cornelissen, H., Jansen, S., …Martínez-Vilalta, J. (2019). Leaf economics and plant hydraulics drive leaf/wood area ratios. New Phytologist, 224(4), 1544-1556. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.15998

Biomass and area ratios between leaves, stems and roots regulate many physiological and ecological processes. The Huber value Hv (sapwood area/leaf area ratio) is central to plant water balance and drought responses. However, its coordination with ke...

sPlot : a new tool for global vegetation analyses (2019)
Journal Article
Bruelheide, H., Dengler, J., Jiménez-Alfaro, B., Purschke, O., Hennekens, S. M., Chytrý, M., …and other 116 authors. (2019). sPlot : a new tool for global vegetation analyses. Journal of Vegetation Science, 30(2), 161-186. https://doi.org/10.1111/jvs.12710

Questions: Vegetation-plot records provide information on presence and cover or abundance of plants co-occurring in the same community. Vegetation-plot data are spread across research groups, environmental agencies and biodiversity research centers,... Read More about sPlot : a new tool for global vegetation analyses.
