Overstorey–Understorey Interactions Intensify After Drought-Induced Forest Die-Off: Long-Term Effects for Forest Structure and Composition
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ecosystems"
DOI: 10.1007/s10021-017-0181-5
Abstract: Severe drought events increasingly affect forests worldwide, but little is known about their long-term effects at the ecosystem level. Competition between trees and herbs (‘overstorey–understorey competition’) for soil water can reduce tree growth and regeneration… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2020.04.038
Abstract: Biological organisms produce high-performance composite materials, such as bone, wood and insect cuticle, which provide inspiration for the design of novel materials. Ascidians (sea squirts) produce an organic exoskeleton, known as a tunic, which has… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jaridenv.2019.103999
Abstract: Abstract Arid Thicket transformation by domestic meso-herbivores is purported to follow a state-and-transition model. Our study represents a first attempt to verify this hypothesis in Pruim-Spekboomveld, a variation of Arid Thicket. We correlate structural and… read more here.
