Multiple dimensions of plant diversity predict microbial community composition in grassland soils
Abstract Soil microbial communities play important roles in regulating ecosystems, but understanding the factors that shape their composition is challenging, in part because of their high diversity. Plants can influence soil communities through environmental effects and the introduction of organic material through litter and root exudates.

The Importance of Spatial Variability in Estimating Evapotranspiration From a Subalpine Wetland
Spatial trends in evapotranspiration were quantified in a sub‐alpine wetland, with higher rates occurring in the wetlands' western portion. This spatial variability suggests care must be taken when estimating evapotranspiration via point measurements. The METRIC approach to modelling evapotranspiration performed reasonably well and should be explored ...

Managing Brown Rot Disease of Citrus Fruit Using Plant Extracts
ABSTRACT Brown rot, caused by Phytophthora nicotianae and P. citrophthora, is a major disease of citrus fruit, leading to significant economic losses globally. Conventional fungicides are commonly used to manage this disease, but concerns have been raised due to environmental persistence, human toxicity and the emergence of resistant strains.
