DOI: 10.1111/1462-2920.15099
Abstract: The genus Phytophthora represents a group of plant pathogens with broad global distribution. The majority of them causes collar and root-rot of diverse plant species. Little is known about Phytophthora communities in forest ecosystems, especially… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.16556
Abstract: An alarming and increasing deforestation rate threatens Amazon tropical ecosystems and subsequent degradation due to frequent fires. Agroforestry systems (AFS) may offer a sustainable alternative, reportedly mimicking the plant–soil interactions of the natural mature forest… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abq4974
Abstract: Photosynthesis and evapotranspiration in Amazonian forests are major contributors to the global carbon and water cycles. However, their diurnal patterns and responses to atmospheric warming and drying at regional scale remain unclear, hindering the understanding… read more here.
