Abstract
Adopting a multiscale perspective that connects forest dynamics from tree stands to landscapes is crucial for understanding how forest ecosystems will evolve under global environmental change. This commentary highlights the significance of Perret et al.'s (2025) study in providing valuable insights into how individual tree plasticity drives community reorganization and ultimately alters ecosystem resilience, via integrating individual tree species into community-level analyses. Their study has important implications for modeling and predicting forest resilience, as well as for informing sustainable management strategies in response to future climate change and increasing disturbances.
期刊介绍:
Global Change Biology is an environmental change journal committed to shaping the future and addressing the world's most pressing challenges, including sustainability, climate change, environmental protection, food and water safety, and global health.
Dedicated to fostering a profound understanding of the impacts of global change on biological systems and offering innovative solutions, the journal publishes a diverse range of content, including primary research articles, technical advances, research reviews, reports, opinions, perspectives, commentaries, and letters. Starting with the 2024 volume, Global Change Biology will transition to an online-only format, enhancing accessibility and contributing to the evolution of scholarly communication.
