DOI: 10.1007/s00248-021-01845-1
Abstract: The skin microbiome in amphibians has gained a lot of attention as some of its members play a protective role against pathogens such as the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). The composition of skin bacterial communities… read more here.

Conversion from tussock grassland to pine forest: effect on soil phytoliths and phytolith-occluded carbon (PhytOC)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Soils and Sediments"
DOI: 10.1007/s11368-018-2160-7
Abstract: PurposePhotolith morphotypes differ between plant species which can be utilized to reconstruct past vegetation. More recently, the role of phytoliths in soil carbon (C) storage and soil C and silicon (Si) cycling has received increasing attention.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.agrformet.2018.06.012
Abstract: Abstract Even though windthrows are the main disturbance type in European forests, their impact on forest carbon balance is generally understudied. In order to close this knowledge gap, we took advantage of a tornado event,… read more here.

Mediterranean coastal pine forest stands: Understorey distinctiveness or not?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Forest Ecology and Management"
DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2017.02.002
Abstract: Abstract A common perception of plantation forests is that they constitute an “ecological desert” and that is why they are often disdained by scholars. Distribution patterns of understorey assemblages of coastal pine stands on sand… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.15557
Abstract: Abstract Above and belowground compartments in ecosystems are closely coupled on daily to annual timescales. In mature forests, this interlinkage and how it is impacted by drought is still poorly understood. Here, we pulse‐labelled 100‐year‐old… read more here.
