Abstract: Long‐term litterfall trends are unexplored in hurricane‐prone regions but are needed to understand the consequences of altered hurricane regimes. In a wet tropical forest in northeastern Puerto Rico, we monitored litterfall mass (leaf fall, read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/maec.70008
Abstract: Wood falls—parcels of wood that sink to the deep‐sea floor—represent unique and dynamic ecosystems that support a highly diverse and evolutionarily distinct assemblage of faunal communities. The fauna inhabiting wood falls exhibit a high degree… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/aem.02165-24
Abstract: ABSTRACT Wood-fall micro-ecosystems contribute to biogeochemical processes in the oligotrophic deep ocean. However, the community assembly processes and biogeochemical functions of microbiomes in wood fall remain unclear. This study investigated the diversity, community structure, assembly… read more here.
