DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0322025
Abstract: Dry Afromontane forests in Ethiopia are crucial for carbon sequestration; however, the absence of robust biomass and carbon stock estimation models hinders accurate assessment. This study addresses this limitation by developing and validating site-specific, multispecies… read more here.

DOI: 10.17159/2254-8854/2024/a17982
Abstract: Sub-cortical beetles and mites contribute to tree mortality by creating wounds and by spreading potential pathogens. Here we elucidate associations between sub-cortical beetles, mites, and ophiostomatoid fungi from trees in Afromontane forests in South Africa.… read more here.
