Future tree survival in european forests depends on understorey tree diversity

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    The model simulates individual trees with a flexible parameterisation scheme enabling to investigate the influence of tree functional diversity on forest resistance (see Supplementary Video 1). To decipher which aspect determines forest resistance the most, the authors tracked the survival status of each simulated individual tree, its individual functional traits and respective environmental conditions including tree functional diversity as well as forest dynamic variables (Fig 1, circle 2). The authors find that individual functional traits of each tree were most important for individual tree survival (40-87%) for all study sites, followed by forest . . .
