Modelling the species-area relationship using extreme value theory by Luís Borda-de-Água, M. Manuela Neves, Luise Quoss, Stephen P. Hubbell, Filipe S. Dias, Henrique M. Pereira

“…Here, we develop a theory for the species-area relationship using extreme value theory, and show that the species-area relationship is a mixture of the distributions of minimum distances to a starting sampling focal point for each individual species. A key insight of our study is that each phase is determined by the geographical distributions of the species, i.e., their ranges, relative to the focal point, enabling us to develop a formula for estimating the number of species at phase transitions. …”

Water use strategies and water conservation in Picea schrenkiana forests in the Kashi River Basin, China by Yinxia Li, Yuhui Yang, Mao Ye, Ying Li, Bin Zou

“…New hydrological insights: The results showed that (1) in spring 2024, Picea schrenkiana mainly utilized 0–60 cm of soil water; the utilization rate of each layer was 20.5 %, 21.0 %, and 20.6 %, respectively; in summer 2024, 0–40 cm of soil water was utilized, with the utilization rate of each layer reaching 25.1 % and 21.1 %, respectively; and in autumn 2024, 0–20 cm of soil water was utilized and the rate rose to 29.6 %. (2) The evaporation loss of soil water was lower than that of river water during the same period. …”
