The litter C/N ratio governs the dual role of ectomycorrhizal fungi in decomposition and plant nutrition absorption

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) modulate litter decomposition and facilitate nutrient acquisition through the soil–mycorrhiza–plant pathway. Although litter chemistry has been considered an important factor affecting litter decomposition, how it regulates EcMF‐induced ...

Using Adapted and Productive European Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) Provenances as Future Solutions for Sustainable Forest Management in Romania

Land
In the near future, it is predicted that the natural distribution range of forest tree species will be reshaped due to the rapid changes in climate conditions.

Ectomycorrhizal community composition and extramatrical hyphal proportion predict soil carbon stocks at the landscape scale

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract While fungal composition has been linked to soil carbon at global scales, these patterns are often difficult to disentangle from broad climatic gradients and species range limits. To address this constraint, we tested which aspects of ectomycorrhizal community structure

Ecology, coenotic heterogeneity of the forest beech formation in Ukraine and the protection of pristine ecosystems

Наукові праці Лісівничої академії наук України, 2018
In Ukraine, in the humid climate of the Carpathians, there are optimal environmental conditions for the growth of beech forests, while in the Podillia region - on the Eastern European border of the range in a drier climate - they are distributed only ...

Temperate forest heterogeneity decreases local and landscape‐scale spider diversity through habitat filtering despite increasing species turnover

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
In a large‐scale German forest experiment, habitat heterogeneity increased spider turnover but reduced local alpha diversity through habitat filtering. Together, these effects lowered landscape‐scale spider diversity. As such, the study shows whether environmental heterogeneity increases or decreases biodiversity depends on the balance between habitat ...

Challenging Business Schools Through Subversive Performativity: The Potential of Art‐based Pedagogies

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract Business schools are often criticized for reproducing growth‐oriented norms, but alternative pedagogies remain difficult to normalize. Drawing on Butler's theory of subversive performativity, this study examines how art‐based pedagogy enables academics to challenge growth logics in business schools by transforming their identities over time ...

Why HR Has Failed to Address Healthcare's Workforce Crisis: The Need for a Systems Partner Role

Human Resource Management Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Attempts to remedy sustained workforce challenges facing healthcare organizations globally have been largely ineffective, despite increased political attention. In this paper we draw on contextually based human resource theory to explain why these challenges remain intractable.

Warm Spring Weather Alters Calling Phenology of Four Sympatric Early‐Breeding Anurans

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
An unusually warm March in 2024 (“false spring”) followed by freezing temperatures allowed us to assess the impact of a weather event on an amphibian community. The calling activity of all four species was associated with increasing temperature, and the first date of calling was advanced by 11–18 days.

Ecological results of Norway spruce forests’ decline in main forest types of the Ukrainian Carpathians

Наукові праці Лісівничої академії наук України, 2019
Stationary studies of the decline dynamics on the 21st Norway spruce forest stands in the Ukrainian Carpathians were conducted in 2010-2014. The analysis of the research results made it possible to assess the environmental impacts of their decline for ...

Drivers of Mouse Plagues: Exceptional Rainfall Following Prolonged Drought Triggers Mouse Plagues in Southeastern Australia

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study identified a specific sequence of an extended drought followed by exceptional rainfall as a necessary precursor for mouse plagues in southeastern Australia. Long‐term rainfall anomalies interact with ecological processes to reset population dynamics, creating conditions that support rapid mouse population growth following periods of ...
