Analysis reveals minimal shifts in biodiversity indices across temperate forests, suggesting local drivers prevail.

Overall, net changes in taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity were minimal across the studied forests.
Diversity changes centered around zero indicate stable forest biodiversity despite regional impacts like climate change.
Changes in phylogenetic diversity showed a positive correlation with taxonomic diversity and a negative correlation with functional diversity.
Monitoring local changes in habitat conditions and managing forest environments are crucial for effective biodiversity conservation.

Wei et al. (2025) studied this question.
