Intermediate coupling between aboveground and belowground biomass maximises the persistence of grasslands [PDF]
Aboveground and belowground biomass compartments of vegetation fulfil different functions and they are coupled by complex interactions. These compartments exchange water, carbon and nutrients and the belowground biomass compartment has the capacity to ...

High water availability increases the negative impact of a native hemiparasite on its non-native host [PDF]
Environmental factors alter the impacts of parasitic plants on their hosts. However, there have been no controlled studies on how water availability modulates stem hemiparasites' effects on hosts.

Yield and Toxin Analysis of Leaf Protein Concentrate from Common North American Coniferous Trees
In the event of an abrupt sunlight reduction scenario, there is a time window that occurs between when food stores would likely run out for many countries (~6 months or less) and ~1 year when resilient foods are scaled up. A promising temporary resilient
