DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3810
Abstract: Plant-soil feedback (PSF), regulated by both mycorrhizae and soil-borne pathogens, is a primary mechanism maintaining high tree species diversity in the tropics. But how warming actually affects PSF is not well understood. We conducted a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41586-023-06820-z
Abstract: Trees structure the Earth’s most biodiverse ecosystem, tropical forests. The vast number of tree species presents a formidable challenge to understanding these forests, including their response to environmental change, as very little is known about… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/treephys/tpac014
Abstract: Plant functioning in response to the environment is an important issue for vegetation reassembly of degraded lands because both low and excessive sunlight influence performance of young plants. However, how shade-tolerant tree species deal with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/treephys/tpz142
Abstract: Despite the important role of tropical forest ecosystems in the uptake and storage of atmospheric CO2, carbon (C) dynamics of tropical tree species remain poorly understood, especially regarding belowground roots. This study assessed the allocation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.12974
Abstract: Life-history theory posits that trade-offs between demographic rates constrain the range of viable life-history strategies. For coexisting tropical tree species, the best established demographic trade-off is the growth-survival trade-off. However, we know surprisingly little about… read more here.
