Forest biodiversity experiments test how tree species richness improves the productivity & functioning of forests. After 30 years, there are now 45 experiments worldwide!
A new synthesis on 30 years of research:

Fig. 3. Standardized effects of climatic, edaphic, and vegetation variables on the net diversity effect on topsoil C stocks (NDE C) across nine sites (n = 110) on a logarithmic scale (first y-axis; left) and natural scale (second y-axis; right). Error bars denote standard errors. Climatic variables include mean annual temperature (MAT), mean annual precipitation (MAP), as well as variability in temperature and precipitation (interannual CV). Edaphic variables include the inverted first principal component axis for soil pH and C:N ratio (Fertility index) as well as soil texture (based on clay content). Effects of standing stock is represented by basal area per hectare (BA ha-1). Significant effects on NDE C are indicated as *** = p 0.05, n.s. = not significant. Values below 0 indicate negative correlation between NDE C and predictors. see Werner R, Jensen J, Fransson P, Baum C, Sandén H, Rewald B, Godbold DL, Mayer M, Guillemot J, Robin A, Brancalion PHS, Koricheva J, Ponette Q, Muys B, Verheyen K, Scherer-Lorenzen M, Bauhus J, Beyer F, Hajek P, Jactel H, Weih M (2025) Effects of tree species richness on topsoil carbon and fungal diversity in European planted mixed forests are modulated by environmental conditions.

🚨New paper in Geoderma🚨 Across 9 #TreeDivNet 🧪experiments in Europe, we show that mixed-species 🍁 #forests 🌳🌲store ~9% more #soilcarbon than monocultures. Gains are strongest on cool, <fertile, #climate stable sites, and linked to >fungal richness. #soilcarbon 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.ge...

🚨Publication alert🚨 #Forest 🌳 #diversity ≠ automatic #drought resilience. Across #treedivnet 🧪🍁experiments, single-year drought growth reflected #trees’ #hydraulic safety margins & drought intensity, not richness. In consecutive droughts, div effects grew—direction varied by site. #Traits matter.

Tree Species Mixes Influence Forest Drought Resilience, Study Shows
A European study of 948 trees across 68 species mixtures found mixed forests grow better during single‑year droughts but can suffer when droughts last months or recur. getnews.me/tree-species-mixes-influ... #treedivnet #forestry #droughtresilience

Coyotes are fairly new to the US east coast. Here's a curious one exploring a mixture plot in the #BiodiversiTREE tree diversity experiment in Edgewater MD (taken by Cathy Fahey). Will be interesting to see how these top predators affect food webs. #treedivnet

Collection of tree discs for dendroecological analyses in the Sardinilla experiment. This is the 1st harvesting campaign in a planted tree diversity experiment. Now we are exited to share the results! Thx to amazing fieldworkers!!!
Interested in biomass production in diverse planted #forests?🌳🌲
In our new study led by Georgios Skiaderesis, we analyzed the effects of species- and structural diversity on woody biomass production in the #Sardinilla experiment.

We worked in the #BEF-China experiment, the largest planted #tree diversity experiment in the world and part of #TreeDivNet.
We found: A forest with high tree species diversity 🌳🌲 is better at buffering heat peaks 🌡️ in summer and cold peaks ❄️ in winter than a forest with fewer tree species.

Very pleased that data from the Satakunta forest diversity experiments have contributed to this @nature.com paper led by Laurent Augusto & Marie Charru @inrae-france.bsky.social which shows that tree species with conservative traits often outperform acquisitive species #TreeDivNet rdcu.be/eeeA8
