recommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology"

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.70017

Abstract: Global climate change is causing plants and other organisms to naturally expand their ranges to higher latitudes or altitudes. This expansion is leading to a strong reshuffling of biotic interactions with consequent ecosystem functions in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/oik.11585

Abstract: Alpine cushion plants are well‐known facilitators of plant diversity, but their influence on insect communities remains poorly understood, limiting our knowledge of biodiversity maintenance in extreme environments. Using species network theory, we examined how nine… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11803-018-0432-2

Abstract: Cushion is a layer of granular materials between the raft and the ground. The shear behavior of the interface between the cushion and the raft may influence the seismic performance of the superstructure. In order… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-99859-z

Abstract: Disconnected piled raft foundations (DPRF) have been developed to reduce the number of piles and avoid stress concentrations at pile heads by placing a cushion layer between the raft and piles. Although this cushion decouples… read more here.
