DOI: 10.1007/s11104-018-3891-3
Abstract: AimsIn subalpine grasslands, litter decomposition controls soil nutrient availability and is highly sensitive to increasing intensity and frequency of extreme climate events, potentially impacting grasslands diversity and functioning. Here, we assessed the effects of early… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/15230430.2018.1494941
Abstract: ABSTRACT Climate change is shifting species distributions and altering plant community composition worldwide. For instance, with rising temperatures shrubs are encroaching into alpine ecosystems, resulting in important implications for ecosystem functioning. In particular, woody-plant encroachment… read more here.

Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of Fungi"
DOI: 10.3390/jof7020112
Abstract: Halophytophthora species have been traditionally regarded as brackish water oomycetes; however, recent reports in inland freshwater call for a better understanding of their ecology and possible pathogenicity. We studied the distribution of Halophytophthora fluviatilis in… read more here.
