Abstract: “What determines species diversity” was listed as one of the 25 highlighted and extremely challenging questions in the journal Science on its 125 anniversary (Pennisi, 2005). Why are there so many species in the world?… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract The Janzen-Connell hypothesis has been explored by many ecologists in a great number of forests. Numerous studies have suggested that mycorrhizal type and fungal composition may affect the conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) among… read more here.

Abstract: Recent plant–soil feedback experiments suggest that arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) tree species experience stronger conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) than ectomycorrhizal (EM) tree species. Yet, how these findings inform our understanding of natural systems is limited… read more here.

Abstract: One of the central goals of ecology is to determine the mechanisms that enable coexistence among species. Evidence is accruing that conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD), the process by which plant seedlings are unable to… read more here.
