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.

Microclimate complexity in temperate grasslands: implications for conservation and management under climate change
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Environmental Research Letters"
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: 10.1111/aec.70131
Abstract: Native temperate grasslands are among the most widespread biomes in Australia, and they have been extensively modified, primarily for livestock grazing and cropping on the fertile soils ideal for agriculture. In the 1980s and 1990s,… read more here.

Soil scalping and soil microbial filtrates effects on the restoration of temperate grasslands
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Restoration Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/rec.14351
Abstract: Recent research has shown that plant–soil–microbial interactions play an important role in determining plant community composition. The restoration of former farmlands (old‐fields) to temperate grasslands dominated by native perennial graminoids is often challenging due to… 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.
