Potential Tree Species Richness in the Forests of New Caledonia
<h1>Description</h1> <p>This dataset aims to represent, in geographic space, the potential distribution of biological tree richness in New Caledonian forests according to a 1 ha grid based on the observed distribution of 148,085 occurrences for 1112 tree species.</p> <p>For each species, we constructed the environmental niche based on 7 abiotic variables (rainfall, slope, elevation, compound topographic index, substrate, sunshine index, distance to the east coast; cf. Pouteau et al., 2015, 2019 for details). We used species distribution models (SDM) and stacked species distribution models (S-SDM) through the R-package SSDM (Schmitt et al., 2017).</p> <p>According to the S-SDM model, the potential richness ranges between 18 and 355 tree species per hectare in New Caledonia. We adjusted this range to the richness observed on 24 1 ha plots from the Permanent Plant Inventory Network of New Caledonia (NC-PIPPN), which ranges between 35 and 121 tree species per hectare. Finally, we clipped the resulting raster with the forest map of New Caledonia (version 2024, Birnbaum et al., 2024) to produce the raster of potential distribution of biological tree richness in the New Caledonian forests at 1 ha resolution.</p> <h1>Content</h1> <p>This dataset was produced, analyzed, and verified using a combination of open-source software, including QGIS, PostgreSQL, PostGIS, Python, R, and the GDAL library, all running on Linux.</p> <ul> <li>amap_raster_forest_richness.tif is a GeoTIFF utilizing the WGS84 international coordinate system and consists of a single band with graduated values ranging from 35 to 121 potential tree species per hectare. The NoData value was set to 0.</li> <li>amap_raster_forest_richness.png is a image illustrating the spatial distribution of the data and values</li> </ul> <h1>Limitations</h1> <p>This dataset is strictly based on the relationship between a few environmental variables and a limited set of tree species occurrences. While it provides a valuable overview of potential tree species richness, it represents only a part of the complex biotic and abiotic interactions that lead to the effective presence or absence of a species in the environment. Consequently, the projection of these probabilities onto the geographical space provides only an overview of the potential richness of forest fragments, which should not be considered as the observed diversity.</p> <p>Additionally, due to a lack of occurrence data, only the Grande-Terre forest is covered in this raster.</p>

Data from: Increased intake of tree forage by moose is associated with intake of crops rich in non-structural carbohydrates
<p>Animals representing a wide range of taxonomic groups are known to select specific food combinations to achieve a nutritionally balanced diet. The nutrient balancing hypothesis suggests that, when given the opportunity, animals select foods to achieve a particular target nutrient balance, and that balancing occurs between meals and between days. For wild ruminants who inhabit landscapes dominated by human land use, nutritionally imbalanced diets can result from ingesting agricultural crops rich in starch and sugar (non-structural carbohydrates, NC), which can be provided to them by people as supplementary feeds. Here, we test the nutrient balancing hypothesis by assessing potential effects that the ingestion of such crops by Alces alces (moose) may have on forage intake. We predicted that moose compensate for an imbalanced intake of excess NC by selecting tree forage with macro-nutritional content better suited for their rumen microbiome during wintertime. We applied DNA metabarcoding to identify plants in faecal and rumen content from the same moose during winter in Sweden. We found that the concentration of NC-rich crops in faeces predicted the presence of Picea abies (Norway spruce) in rumen samples. The finding is consistent with the prediction that moose use tree forage as a nutritionally complementary resource to balance their intake of NC-rich foods, and that they ingested P. abies in particular (normally a forage rarely eaten by moose) because it was the most readily available tree. Our finding sheds new light on the foraging behaviour of a model species in herbivore ecology, and on how habitat alterations by humans may change the behaviour of wildlife.</p>

Data to: Remotely sensed tree height and density explain global gliding vertebrate richness
<p>In vertebrates, gliding evolved as a mode of energy-efficient locomotion to move between trees. Gliding vertebrate richness is hypothesised to increase with tree height and decrease with tree density but empirical evidence for this is scarce, especially at a global scale. Here, we test the ability of tree height and density to explain species richness of gliding vertebrates globally compared to richness of all vertebrates, while controlling for biogeographical and climatic factors. We compiled a global database of 193 gliding amphibians, mammals and reptiles and created maps of species richness from extent-of-occurrence range maps. We paired species richness of gliding vertebrates with spatial estimates of global tree height and density and biogeographical regions as covariates to account for ecological differences among global regions. We used univariate linear and multivariate generalised linear mixed-effect models to evaluate relationships between species richness and tree height and density and the interaction between both. We found that richness of all gliding vertebrate species increased significantly with tree height, while results for richness of amphibians, mammals and reptiles alone indicated mixed responses, especially among different biogeographical regions. Mixed-effect models mirrored these results for richness of all species combined, while also revealing the mixed responses to tree height and density of richness of amphibians, mammals and reptiles. Richness of all vertebrate species – gliding and non-gliding – also increased with tree height and density but at a lesser rate than richness of gliding vertebrates indicating a greater influence of forest structure on richness patterns of gliding vertebrates. Our results support hypotheses stating that gliding in vertebrates globally evolved in tall forests as energy-efficient locomotion between trees and provide further evidence for the importance of forest structure to explain the distribution of gliding vertebrates.</p>
Tree species richness around urban red maples reduces pest abundance but does not enhance biological control
<p>Urban trees often host greater insect pest abundance than trees in rural forests. This may be due, in part, to differences in tree diversity and canopy cover between these settings. Urban trees are often planted in isolation or monoculture, which favors pest accumulation. The gloomy scale, <em>Melanaspis tenebricosa</em> Comstock, is a pest of urban red maples (<em>Acer rubrum </em>L.) that is abundant where impervious surfaces dominate the local landscape. Increasing tree diversity and canopy cover around urban red maples may reduce gloomy scale abundance by supporting natural enemy communities. We investigated the effect that surrounding tree species richness and tree canopy cover had on gloomy scale abundance, natural enemy abundance, and biological control in red maple trees in Raleigh, NC, USA. We collected scales and natural enemies from red maples that spanned a gradient of tree species richness, canopy cover, and impervious surface values. We also measured gloomy scale parasitism and predation of sentinel prey in red maple canopies. Greater tree species richness and canopy cover were associated with lower gloomy scale density. Red maples in diverse settings also hosted fewer scales per natural enemy. Parasitoids were less common in maples in diverse settings, but generalist predator abundance was unaffected by tree diversity. Finally, tree species richness and canopy cover did not increase biological control of scales or sentinel prey. Our findings suggest that higher tree diversity and greater canopy cover may reduce gloomy scale density, but this is not entirely explained by the effects of natural enemies and biological control.</p>
Data from: Leaf trait variation within individuals mediates the relationship between tree species richness and productivity
<p>This dataset contains tree biometry data and leaf trait data of the Kreinitz Tree Diversity Experiment. In winter 2013/14 and winter 2016/17, height and basal area were measured for all 2880 individuals of the Kreinitz experiment. Tree biometry data is available in the file Data_Kreinitz_Tree.xlsx. In summer 2017, leaf traits for 283 selected trees were measured via near-infrared spectroscopy. For each tree, samples were taken from approximately 3 levels in the trees' crown (total 843 levels). At each level, approximately 4 leaves were harvested (total 3656 leaves) and scanned in triplicates (total 10986 scans). Sampled leaves were scanned on the day of harvest.<br>Leaf trait data is available in the file Data_Kreinitz_Leaf.xlsx.</p>

H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest site, station Andrews Watershed 1, study of species richness of trees in units of number on a yearly timescale
The EcoTrends project was established in 2004 by Dr. Debra Peters (Jornada Basin LTER, USDA-ARS Jornada Experimental Range) and Dr. Ariel Lugo (Luquillo LTER, USDA-FS Luquillo Experimental Forest) to support the collection and analysis of long-term ecological datasets. The project is a large synthesis effort focused on improving the accessibility and use of long-term data. At present, there are ~50 state and federally funded research sites that are participating and contributing to the EcoTrends project, including all 26 Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites and sites funded by the USDA Agriculture Research Service (ARS), USDA Forest Service, US Department of Energy, US Geological Survey (USGS) and numerous universities. Data from the EcoTrends project are available through an exploratory web portal (http://www.ecotrends.info). This web portal enables the continuation of data compilation and accessibility by users through an interactive web application. Ongoing data compilation is updated through both manual and automatic processing as part of the LTER Provenance Aware Synthesis Tracking Architecture (PASTA). The web portal is a collaboration between the Jornada LTER and the LTER Network Office. The following dataset from H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest (AND) contains species richness of trees measurements in number units and were aggregated to a yearly timescale.

The EcoTrends project was established in 2004 by Dr. Debra Peters (Jornada Basin LTER, USDA-ARS Jornada Experimental Range) and Dr. Ariel Lugo (Luquillo LTER, USDA-FS Luquillo Experimental Forest) to support the collection and analysis of long-term ecological datasets. The project is a large synthesis effort focused on improving the accessibility and use of long-term data. At present, there are ~50 state and federally funded research sites that are participating and contributing to the EcoTrends project, including all 26 Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites and sites funded by the USDA Agriculture Research Service (ARS), USDA Forest Service, US Department of Energy, US Geological Survey (USGS) and numerous universities. Data from the EcoTrends project are available through an exploratory web portal (http://www.ecotrends.info). This web portal enables the continuation of data compilation and accessibility by users through an interactive web application. Ongoing data compilation is updated through both manual and automatic processing as part of the LTER Provenance Aware Synthesis Tracking Architecture (PASTA). The web portal is a collaboration between the Jornada LTER and the LTER Network Office. The following dataset from H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest (AND) contains species richness of trees measurements in number units and were aggregated to a yearly timescale.
