DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1434
Abstract: PREMISE Understanding how environmental stress affects the strength of mutualisms is critically important given observed and projected environmental changes. In particular, the frequency and duration of drought have been increasing worldwide. We investigated how water… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s40333-018-0050-x
Abstract: Most ecological studies in North Africa reveal a process of continuous degradation of rangeland ecosystems as a result of overgrazing. This degradation appears across the decreasing of perennial grass diversity. Indeed, the majority of steppe… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s1742170517000692
Abstract: Abstract By potentially disrupting crop production, climate change has been implicated as a threat to global food security. We focus on two elements of climate change: elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, or e[CO2], and reduced… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/femsec/fiad051
Abstract: Abstract The soil microbiome is crucial for regulating biogeochemical processes and can, thus, strongly influence tree health, especially under stress conditions. However, little is known about the effect of prolonged water deficit on soil microbial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/forestry/cpx034
Abstract: Climate change may reduce the benefits of tree improvement. We investigated the response to limited water availability of seedlings from nine improved full-sibling families of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr.) plus an unimproved seed… read more here.

Physiological determinants of the internesting interval in sea turtles: a novel ‘water-limitation’ hypothesis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Biology Letters"
DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2019.0248
Abstract: The internesting interval separates successive clutches of sea turtle eggs, and its duration varies both among and within species. Here, we review the potential physiological limits to this interval, and develop the hypothesis that desalination… read more here.

Not only trees : Grasses determine African tropical biome distributions via water limitation and fire

DOI: 10.1111/geb.12735
Abstract: Aim: Although much tropical ecology generally focuses on trees, grasses are fundamental for characterizing the extensive tropical grassy biomes (TGBs) and, together with the tree functional types, for determining the contrasting functional patterns of TGBs… read more here.
