Check out our new paper! #Wildhorses reduce resilience and #soilcarbon in US #saltmarshes, unlike European counterparts, indicating effects of large grazer on #coastalwetlands is context dependent. Big team effort! John Griffin Kate Davidson Angelini Ecology & Restoration Engineering Lab, UF doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Changes in an #alpine #plant community over 20yrs were mainly affected by dispersal limitation besides #environmental filtering. Limited dispersal capacity may thus hinder isolated cold areas from effectively protecting high alpine plants from warming: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

Decoupled responses of the stability of above- & belowground productivity to drought & clipping in an alpine meadow: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

In a field survey spanning a 1700km latitudinal gradient Gao et al found invasion effects of Alternanthera philoxeroides⬆️for #soil #fungi, & did not change for #plant & arthropod communities with latitude, highlighting the complexities of invasion effects besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

🌵Exotic plants accumulate pathogens & share them with native plants, which may reinforce exotic dominance in communities via apparent competition: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

🌿Neighbourhood diversity effects on #insect #herbivory: #Plant #leaf traits mediate associational resistance besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

Nitrogen-fixing #plants increase #soil nitrogen & neighboring-plant biomass, but decrease community diversity. Meta-analysis reveals the mediating role of soil texture on neighboring-plant biomass: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

🌳20yr study in a Japanese old-growth #forest reveals that high #tree #species richness enhances productivity stability through asynchronous growth & reduced dominance of single species: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

🌼Germination #phenology alters species coexistence outcomes Jeff Diez jenthebird Jeremy Collings besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

Setting the stage for plant–soil feedback: #Mycorrhizal influences over conspecific recruitment, #plant & #fungal communities, & coevolution besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

🐜Study highlights how #plants with extrafloral nectaries indirectly influence other plants through ant sharing. More ant-attractive plants affect the visitation patterns of less attractive ones, but these indirect effects have limited impacts on herbivory besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

🌱#Tallgrass #prairie forbs show variable context dependent responses to #herbivory across multiple ecological gradients which could drive substantial variation in the effect of species interactions on community characteristics Konza Prairie LTER Alex Sutton besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…
