DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.13564
Abstract: Understorey plant communities comprise a large portion of biodiversity of forests and woodlands globally, where they contribute to tree species dynamics, biogeochemical cycling and carbon sequestration. Here we evaluated the effects of elevated CO2 (400… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/aec.12871
Abstract: The expansion of rainforest pioneer trees into long-unburnt open forests has become increasingly widespread across high rainfall regions of Australia. Increasing tree cover can limit resource availability for understorey plant communities and reduce understorey diversity.… read more here.
