DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1839
Abstract: PREMISE Invasive species tend to possess acquisitive plant traits that support fast growth and strong competitive ability. However, the relevance of symbioses with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to the fast growing, acquisitive strategy of invasive… read more here.

Assessment of the feedstock supply for siting single‐ and multiple‐feedstock biorefineries in the USA and identification of prevalent feedstocks
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Biofuels"
DOI: 10.1002/bbb.2091
Abstract: An integrated multi‐feedstock bioenergy (i.e., biofuel, biopower, or bioproduct) supply system has potential to reduce biomass supply system uncertainties and costs. This study identifies optimal configurations of multi‐feedstock biomass‐to‐biorefinery supply chains and pertinent feedstock combinations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4254
Abstract: Abstract Although DNA barcoding has been widely used to identify plant species composition in temperate and tropical ecosystems, relatively few studies have used DNA barcodes to document both herbaceous and woody components of forest plot.… read more here.

Social–ecological landscape patterns predict woody encroachment from native tree plantings in a temperate grassland

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4340
Abstract: Abstract Afforestation is often viewed as the purposeful planting of trees in historically nonforested grasslands, but an unintended consequence is woody encroachment, which should be considered part of the afforestation process. In North America's temperate… read more here.

Foraging decisions with conservation consequences: Interaction between beavers and invasive tree species
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8899
Abstract: Abstract Herbivore species can either hinder or accelerate the invasion of woody species through selective utilization. Therefore, an exploration of foraging decisions can contribute to the understanding and forecasting of woody plant invasions. Despite the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00425-019-03315-y
Abstract: Exosomes in the secondary phloem and secondary xylem of angiosperms and gymnosperms have physiological roles in the storage and transport of endoglucanases. Knowledge of plant extracellular vesicles (EVs) is limited by their presence in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-018-4227-y
Abstract: Anthropogenic activities have increased disturbances and alien woody invasion in mountain ecosystems worldwide. Whether disturbances promote or counteract upward movement of woody aliens is poorly understood. We assessed if the most successful woody invader of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-018-0252-2
Abstract: Riparian zones are key interfaces between stream and terrestrial ecosystems. Yet, we know of no whole-watershed experiments that cut only woody vegetation in the riparian zone in an otherwise intact watershed to isolate the role… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10482-020-01418-1
Abstract: Female stag beetles (Lucanidae) possess internal mycangia to maintain microbial cultures. Yeasts from these mycangia may help with larval nutrition in nutrient poor woody substrates, but only a few Lucanidae taxa have been studied and… read more here.
