Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) associations influence tree diversity across different latitudes, using data from over 2.8 million trees.
- AM trees were found to significantly contribute to reducing total tree diversity and turnover while enhancing nestedness at higher latitudes, contrasting with EcM trees that show less influence on compositional differences.
- Environmental factors, especially temperature and precipitation, were more closely related to the beta-diversity patterns of AM trees, emphasizing the role of AM associations in maintaining global forest biodiversity.
Background: Hemispherical photography (HP) is a popular method to estimate canopy structure and understorey light environment, which analyses photographs acquired with wide view-angle lens (i.e. fisheye lens).

However, there are very few studies on the biodiversity and regeneration of native species in human-modified forests which are rich in exotic trees. Our research aim is to evaluate the regeneration status and biodiversity of two adjacent human-modified forests.
