DOI: 10.1007/s11104-019-04141-7
Abstract: AimsSoil fungi are considered to be key regulators of plant and soil relationships. The fairy rings (FRs) caused by basidiomycete fungi can influence plant productivity and soil nutrient and microbiome composition. We sought to explore… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rama.2020.08.007
Abstract: ABSTRACT Contemporary methods of rangeland health (RH) assessment evaluate indicators designed to assess land use impacts on ecosystem function. These methods have not been tested relative to variation in specific grazing practices, including grazing period… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-11133-z
Abstract: Specific leaf area (SLA) is a key trait with great ecological importance as it correlates with whole plant growth. We aimed to investigate how SLA varies with environmental factors at a geographical scale in temperate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/acd4d3
Abstract: As climate change advances, there is a need to examine climate conditions at scales that are ecologically relevant to species. While microclimates in forested systems have been extensively studied, microclimates in grasslands have received little… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjps-2018-0251
Abstract: Abstract: While northern temperate grasslands are important for supporting beef production, it remains unclear how grassland above- and belowground biomass responds to long-term cattle grazing. Here, we use a comprehensive dataset from 73 grasslands distributed… read more here.
