Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Forest biodiversity provides multiple ecosystem functions and services around the world. However, high biodiversity extinction risks exist widely in different forest biomes due to global changes in climate and land use. Therefore, effective tools are required to address the issues of species diversity and ecosystem loss depending on different biomes, e.g., tropical, temperate, and boreal biomes. We should systematically evaluate the impact of environmental changes on forest biodiversity across different spatial scales, from community to global scales, and provide new insights for guiding the protection of forests. Furthermore, conserving and restoring forest biodiversity is critical for environmental management and global assessment.
This Special Issue aims to comprehensively explore the effects of environmental changes on vascular plants in forest biomes across different spatial scales, from global to local scales.
We invite submissions of original research articles, reviews, short communications, brief reports, and meta-analyses. We welcome studies utilizing interdisciplinary approaches, field experiments, modeling, and novel methodologies to advance our understanding of the conservation and restoration of forest biodiversity.
