Jonathan and colleagues from the ForestGEO network publish a paper in Proceedings of the Royal Society B titled “Assessing the spatial scale of synchrony in forest tree population dynamics”. Thanks to Ryan Chisholm and Tak Fung for leading this project!
Figure: Figure 1. (a) Map of ForestGEO plots used in our global-scale analyses. (b) Within regions, most plots share some species, but between regions, few species are shared (levels of grey shading behind axis labels indicate region groupings, which are, from lightest to darkest: Africa, Asia, Neotropics, temperate North America). Almost all of the shared species between regions were introduced in at least one region (purple boxes indicate pairs of plots where all shared species fell into this category). (c) The census intervals overlapped to some extent for all pairs of plots with shared native species.
