The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service, Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program provides this resource update yearly as an overview of forest resources in Kentucky. These estimates are derived from field data collected across a systematic network of fixed-radius forest monitoring plots located on both public and private land. New updates are provided annually as a subset of plots within the State are remeasured. Each year, field crews visit and measure a subset of all FIA plots across the entire State (the size of the subset varies by State and year). Combining all...

Artificial forests in China and worldwide are mainly composed of homogeneous monocultures. While this design is often suitable for commercial plantations, many of these forests were initially established for environmental purposes. To better support biodiversity and ecosystem health, we advocate for the rewilding of China’s non-commercial artificial forests to meet the restoration goals of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.

Body size is often strongly linked to species abundance and range size. Although Bergman's rule, which relates body size to climate, has been extensively studied, the implications of this rule for conservation remain unclear. Climate warming may reduce the habitat area of some large‐bodied species at higher latitudes or altitudes, where they need large ranges to survive, and may also cause some larger‐bodied species to shrink, as there is no critical need for them to remain large in order to preserve heat in very cold conditions. Under such circumstances, Bergmann's rule may offer some...

Vascular plants are a fundamental component of urban green spaces (UGSs) and their diversity determines the associated ecological benefits. This study surveys the vascular plant diversity in three types of UGSs (i.e., urban parks, residential green spaces, and street green spaces) in Guangzhou, Southern China. The distribution patterns of vascular plant diversity in UGSs were analyzed from multiple perspectives, such as native‐exotic species, urbanization degree (urban‐rural gradient). We recorded a total of 207 vascular plant species belonging to 172 genera and 83 families, accounting for...

Body size is among the key subjects in macroecology and macroevolution with important implications for conservation. Two major rules have been proposed to explain how body size changes over evolutionary time (Cope's rule) and across temperature gradients (Bergmann's rule). To date, however, the applicability of both rules to global terrestrial vertebrates (tetrapod) remains elusive. Here, using the newly available data, we comparatively examined the temporal variation in species body size of the world's extant tetrapod species (tetrapoda as a whole) and of each class, amphibians (Amphibia),...
