may lead to different species richness–climate relationships across continents
resulting in species richness anomalies, especially for tropical groups....

North American forests and forest management institutions are experiencing a wide range of significant ecological disturbances and socioeconomic changes, which point to the need for enhanced resilience. A critical capacity for resilience in...
