DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoleng.2019.105583
Abstract: Abstract Standard extensive green roofs (EGRs) with their shallow substrate layers represent extreme sites for plant growth and therefore are planted mostly with drought-resistant species, including non-native plant species. As standard EGR substrates often lack… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.1c08832
Abstract: Persistent microbial symbioses can confer greater fitness to their host under unfavorable conditions, but manipulating such beneficial interactions necessitates a mechanistic understanding of the consistently important microbiomes for the plant. Here, we examined the phylogenetic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.13627
Abstract: Allelopathy (i.e. chemical interactions between plants) is known to affect individual performance, community structure and plant invasions. Yet, a quantitative synthesis is lacking. Here, we performed a meta-analysis of 384 studies that measured allelopathic effects… read more here.
