Weak latitudinal gradients in insect herbivory for dominant rangeland grasses of North America
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6374
Abstract: Abstract Patterns of insect herbivory may follow predictable geographical gradients, with greater herbivory at low latitudes. However, biogeographic studies of insect herbivory often do not account for multiple abiotic factors (e.g., precipitation and soil nutrients)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10980-020-01150-1
Abstract: Context Savanna grasslands are undergoing rapid land cover transformation as a consequence of woody plant encroachment. It still remains unclear how increasing woody plant density and cover in savannas influences tree-grass-soil interactions. Objectives This study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.apsoil.2019.06.009
Abstract: Abstract Non-native plant species can alter soil communities, which can lead to changes in their ecosystem functioning and facilitate invasive plant spread. In this study, we asked whether abundance, composition, or function of free-living soil… read more here.
