Stop the dismantling of European environmental protections. Stand up for forests, wildlife, clean air, and safe water - our nature depends on it.

Our results indicate that a decade after tree harvesting, ectomycorrhizal fungal community assembly shifted from stochastic to deterministic environmental filtering, with higher harvest intensity dri...

The authors combine satellites, repeat airborne lidar, dynamic global vegetation models and field plot monitoring across the conterminous USA to show widespread continued carbon accumulation in mature...

Abstract. At a time when we count on northern hemisphere forests to mitigate global atmospheric change, European forests are showing deteriorating abovegro

Global phylogenomic tree and phylogenetic network of Suillus luteus and its closely related species.

The killing of the European Commission president’s aged pet, which has led to protected wolves being reclassified as ‘huntable’, is being questioned by experts

Fungi often exhibit specific associations with particular substrates in forest ecosystems. However, how the fungal species pool, environmental filteri…

Clear-cutting is detrimental to ectomycorrhizal fungi in a short time perspective, but long-term effects on species richness and community composition are uncertain. To evaluate ecological sustainab...

Forest management practices can influence carbon and nitrogen dynamics, which are critical for climate change mitigation. We investigated the effects …

The Scandinavian wolf population (Norway and Sweden) is intensively managed at a population size considered sustainable by managing authorities. As these authorities have decided to reduce the populat...

Abstract. Fungi comprise millions of species that play numerous varied roles in Earth’s natural and managed ecosystems, engaging in a multitude of positive

Nitrogen isotope tree-ring chronologies show that rising atmospheric CO2 has reduced nitrogen availability in boreal forests in Sweden, suggesting that elevated atmospheric CO2 is causing oligotrophic...

Optimization approaches based on fundamental eco-evolutionary principles (EEO approaches) can increase the realism and generality of microbial-explicit soil organic matter (SOM) models—yet, these app....

Competing theories seek to explain inconsistencies surrounding Alexander Fleming’s famed discovery.

The results add to a growing body of evidence that the ‘Gadgil effect’ is not universal, even in the N-poor litter of temperate pine forests where it was first described and is often invoked. Further...

Brian Pickles and colleagues show that exposed dinosaur bones can be remote sensed with drones by virtue of colored lichens growing on them.

Natural history provides an important basis for observing interactions between organisms in their environments. Biotropica recently inaugurated a new paper category called “Natural History Field Note....
