Mountain pine beetles have caused extensive tree mortality in Canadian boreal forests. In some areas, ectomycorrhizal (EM) pine stands have been replaced by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) vegetation. Giv...

Our study illustrates how intense intraspecific competition processes operate at very early developmental stages among even-aged tree cohorts, following the general pattern of self-thinning. We showe...

Abstract. We develop a novel individual-based population-dynamics model of academic career progression, using 15 years of data from over 1000 academics fro

Preterm birth (PTB) is a leading cause of mortality in children aged <5 years, and survivors experience increased chronic morbidity. Emerging evidence…

Scientists have captured rare footage of a sperm whale giving birth, offering a window into the large mammals' behavior.

We investigated how plant diversity influenced soil microbial processes during moist conditions and an experimental drought. Higher plant diversity increased below-ground plant input. This increased ...

Climate change challenges forestry in temperate regions, with drought and insect infestations affecting major tree species. Introducing drought-tolerant non-native species into managed forests is a wi...

Northern forests are currently taking up large quantities of carbon due to tree growth. Yet, it is not known how the stocks of soil nutrients have responded to this increase in biomass. Therefore, we...

Insects are declining in many regions. Here the authors show that arthropod biomass losses in Jena Experiment and Biodiversity Exploratories time series are driven more by species loss than by species...

Wie gestresst sind die Bäume durch den Klimawandel? Die Wissenschaftler untersuchen mit einem 45 Meter hohen Drehkran die Kronen.
