Smallholder farms have and can store more carbon than previously estimated
(American Society of Agronomy, Soil Science Society of AmericaWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2023-03)
Increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks is increasingly targeted as a key strategy in climate change mitigation and improved ecosystem resiliency. Agricultural land, a dominant global land use, provides substantial ...
The impact of ice storms on mycorrhizal fungi varies by season and mycorrhizal type in a hardwood forest
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2023-05)
Extreme weather events, such as ice storms, are increasing and have potentially large impacts on forests, including belowground structures such as fine roots and mycorrhizal fungi. Many forest trees rely on the mutualistic ...
Linking seed size and number to trait syndromes in trees
(Cambridge University PressWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2023-05)
AimOur understanding of the mechanisms that maintain forest diversity under changing climate can benefit from knowledge about traits that are closely linked to fitness. We tested whether the link between traits and seed ...
Dark roads aid movement but increase mortality of a generalist herbivore in the American Southwest
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2023-05)
Road networks pose many well-documented threats to wildlife, from fragmenting habitats and restricting movement to causing mortality through vehicle collisions. For large, wide-ranging mammals, home range requirements and ...
The oldest evidence of brooding in a Devonian blastoid reveals the evolution of new reproductive strategies in early echinoderms
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Academic Press, 2023-05)
Brooding of young is a reproductive strategy observed in many extant echinoderms, but the evolutionary history of this behaviour is largely unknown due to the scarcity of examples preserved in the fossil record. Here, ...
