  • An analysis of tree survival data from forest sites worldwide shows that in the tropics, rare tree species experience stronger stabilizing density dependence than common species, wheras no correlation of stabilizing density dependence and abundance exists in the temperate zone.

  • Water availability directly shapes local and regional species distributions in tropical forests. This mechanistic understanding of the factors shaping species distributions is critical for improving vegetation–climate models used to project shifts in tropical forest composition, diversity and ecosystem function under changing precipitation patterns associated with past and future global climate change.

  • Tree diversity decreases at the edges of fragmented forests. Here, Krishnadas et al. find that weaker top-down regulation by insects and fungal pathogens during seedling recruitment contributes to reduced tree seedling diversity near forest edges in a human-modified landscape.
