• Drivers of large‐scale geographical variation in sexual systems of woody plants 

      Wang, Yunyun; Lyu, Tong; Shrestha, Nawal; Lyu, Lisha; Li, Yaoqi; Schmid, Bernhard; Freckleton, Robert; Dimitrov, Dimitar; Liu, Shuguang; Hao, Zhanqing; Wang, Zhiheng (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Aim: Sexual systems strongly influence angiosperm evolution and play important roles in community assembly and species responses to climate change. However, geographical variation in proportions of different sexual systems ...
    • Global patterns of species richness of the holarctic alpine herb Saxifraga: The role of temperature and habitat heterogeneity 

      Liu, Lian; Xu, Xiaoting; Zhang, Lei; Li, Yaoqi; Shrestha, Nawal; Neves, Danilo M; Wang, Qinggang; Chang, Hong; Su, Xiangyan; Liu, Yunpeng; Wu, Jianyong; Dimitrov, Dimitar; Wang, Zhiheng; Jianquan, Liu (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The effects of contemporary climate, habitat heterogeneity and long-term climate change on species richness are well studied for woody plants in forest ecosystems, but poorly understood for herbaceous plants, especially ...
    • Multiscale mapping of plant functional groups and plant traits in the High Arctic using field spectroscopy, UAV imagery and Sentinel-2A data 

      Thomson, Eleanor R.; Spiegel, Marcus P.; Althuizen, Inge; Bass, Polly; Chen, Shuli; Chmurzynski, Adam; Rechsteiner, Aud Helen Halbritter; Henn, Jonathan J.; Jónsdóttir, Ingibjörg S.; Klanderud, Kari; Li, Yaoqi; Maitner, Brian S.; Michaletz, Sean T.; Niittynen, Pekka; Roos, Ruben Erik; Telford, Richard James; Enquist, Brian J.; Vandvik, Vigdis; Macias-Fauria, Marc; Malhi, Yadvinder (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet, leading to rapid changes in species composition and plant functional trait variation. Landscape-level maps of vegetation composition and trait distributions ...
    • Spatio-temporal patterns in the woodiness of flowering plants 

      Luo, Ao; Xu, Xiaoting; Liu, Yunpeng; Li, Yaoqi; Su, Xiangyan; Li, Yichao; Lyu, Tong; Dimitrov, Dimitar Stefanov; Larjavaara, Markku; Peng, Shijia; Chen, Yongsheng; Wang, Qinggang; Zimmermann, Niklaus E.; Pellissier, Loïc; Schmid, Bernhard; Wang, Zhiheng (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Aim Woody and herbaceous habits represent one of the most distinct contrasts among angiosperms, and the proportion of woody species in floras (i.e., “woodiness” hereafter) represents a fundamental structural element of ...
