“…Pairwise niche comparisons in temperate species of Acer have revealed only infrequent niche overlap continentally and globally (Grossman, 2021). In contrast, in the wind-pollinated Fagus displays neither niche specificity nor correlation with population sizes and occupied area (Cai et al, 2021). Genetic distances between sections of insect-pollinated Acer resemble those of subgenera or genera in wind-pollinated Fagaceae irrespective of the used marker (cf.…”

Standard models of speciation assume strictly dichotomous genealogies in which a species, the ancestor, is replaced by two offspring species. The reality is more complex: plant species can evolve from other species via isolation when genetic drift exceeds gene flow; lineage mixing can give rise to new species (hybrid taxa such as nothospecies and allopolyploids). The multi–copy, potentially multi–locus 5S rDNA is one of few gene regions conserving signal from dichotomous and reticulate evolutionary processes down to the level of intra-genomic recombination. Here, we provide the first high-throughput sequencing (HTS) 5S intergenic spacer (5S – IGS) data for a lineage of wind-pollinated subtropical to temperate trees, the Fagus crenata – F. sylvatica s.l. lineage, and its distant relative F. japonica. The observed 4,963 unique 5S – IGS variants reflect a long history of repeated incomplete lineage sorting and lineage mixing since the early Cenozoic of two or more paralogous-homoeologous 5S rDNA lineages. Extant species of Fagus are genetic mosaics and, at least to some part, of hybrid origin.

“…In this paper, species distribution records were obtained from the global biodiversity database (http://www.gbif.org/), the Chinese Virtual Herbarium (http://www.cvh.ac.cn/), field investigation and published literature [10][11][12]24]. Because the distribution records of Chinese Beech in some literatures are very few and inaccurate, we conducted a field survey on its distribution in Sichuan to ensure the accuracy of the model.…”

“…Fagus is a tall deciduous genus of trees and widely distributed in the Pan-Arctic vegetation system. Fagus longipetiolata is the dominant species in temperate deciduous broad-leaved mixed forest [10,11]. The distribution area of the species of genus Fagus is mainly in east Asia, western Eurasia and eastern north America.…”

The biodiversity crisis caused by global warming is becoming more and more serious. Thus, many species are facing the crisis of survival, and some species are even on the verge of extinction.To scientifically evaluate the impact of global warming on the distribution, management and protection of Chinese Beech, the habitat suitability of 7 Chinese Beech species was simulated based on 853 literature distribution sites and 11 environmental factors under the current, 2070 RCP2.6 and 2070 RCP8.5 climate conditions and evaluated using ArcGIS 10.2 technology and the MaxEnt model. The results showed that (1) three environmental factors, namely, Precipitation of the Driest Quarter, Minimum Temperature of the Coldest Month and Mean Diurnal Range, were the key factors that influencing the distribution of Chinese Beech; (2) the total current area of suitable habitat of Chinese Beech was about 78615.60 km 2 , and only about 9527.36 km 2 was located in protected areas (12.12%); (3) with the continuous warming of the climate, the suitable habitat of Chinese Beech could lose up to 59.24%, and the protected area would be decreasing continuously. Under the best and the most extreme climate scenarios for 2070, the suitable habitat area of Chinese Beech was reduced by 33386.90 km 2 and 46573.50 km 2 , respectively, and the protected area decreased by 2,362.22 km 2 and 5,056.40 km 2 , respectively. (4) The highly suitable habitat was projected to move the northwest and high altitude areas. Consequently, the protection of Chinese Beech is urgently required.

“…Established in 2013, sPlot v3.0 currently contains more than 1.9 million vegetation plots, and is fully integrated with the TRY database (Kattge et al., 2020), from which it derives information on plant functional traits. The sPlot database is increasingly being used to study continental‐to‐global scale vegetation patterns (Cai et al., 2021; Testolin, Attorre, et al., 2021; Testolin, Carmona, et al., 2021), such as the relative contribution of regional versus local factors to the global patterns of fern richness (Weigand et al., 2020), the mechanisms underlying the spread and abundance of native versus invasive tree species (van der Sande et al., 2020), and worldwide trait–environment relationships in plant communities (Bruelheide et al., 2018).…”

Motivation Assessing biodiversity status and trends in plant communities is critical for understanding, quantifying and predicting the effects of global change on ecosystems. Vegetation plots record the occurrence or abundance of all plant species co‐occurring within delimited local areas. This allows species absences to be inferred, information seldom provided by existing global plant datasets. Although many vegetation plots have been recorded, most are not available to the global research community. A recent initiative, called ‘sPlot’, compiled the first global vegetation plot database, and continues to grow and curate it. The sPlot database, however, is extremely unbalanced spatially and environmentally, and is not open‐access. Here, we address both these issues by (a) resampling the vegetation plots using several environmental variables as sampling strata and (b) securing permission from data holders of 105 local‐to‐regional datasets to openly release data. We thus present sPlotOpen, the largest open‐access dataset of vegetation plots ever released. sPlotOpen can be used to explore global diversity at the plant community level, as ground truth data in remote sensing applications, or as a baseline for biodiversity monitoring. Main types of variable contained Vegetation plots (n = 95,104) recording cover or abundance of naturally co‐occurring vascular plant species within delimited areas. sPlotOpen contains three partially overlapping resampled datasets (c. 50,000 plots each), to be used as replicates in global analyses. Besides geographical location, date, plot size, biome, elevation, slope, aspect, vegetation type, naturalness, coverage of various vegetation layers, and source dataset, plot‐level data also include community‐weighted means and variances of 18 plant functional traits from the TRY Plant Trait Database. Spatial location and grain Global, 0.01–40,000 m². Time period and grain 1888–2015, recording dates. Major taxa and level of measurement 42,677 vascular plant taxa, plot‐level records. Software format Three main matrices (.csv), relationally linked.
