DOI: 10.1007/s004420000566
Abstract: Only recently have studies addressed the effect of early-colonizing vegetation on tree seedling survival and growth during secondary succession in tropical old fields, and few studies have elucidated the physiological responses of tree seedlings to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/treephys/tpaa056
Abstract: Plant respiration can acclimate to changing environmental conditions and vary between species as well as biome-types, though belowground respiration responses to on-going climate warming is not well-understood. Understanding the thermal acclimation capacity of root respiration… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.15809
Abstract: As extreme climate events are predicted to become more frequent due to global climate change, understanding their impacts on natural systems is crucial. Tropical forests are vulnerable to droughts associated with extreme El Niño events.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/science.adf2027
Abstract: Climate change is pushing species outside of their evolved tolerances. Plant populations must acclimate, adapt, or migrate to avoid extinction. However, because plants associate with diverse microbial communities that shape their phenotypes, shifts in microbial… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.1033731
Abstract: The recalcitrant understory fern layer is an important ecological filter for seedling regeneration, yet how the fern layer influences seedling regeneration dynamics remains unclear. Here we transplanted 576 seedlings of four dominant tree species, Castanopsis… read more here.
