The effect of light availability and spatio‐temporal heterogeneity on the soil seed bank diversity in temperate forests

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Light is a key driver of understory plant diversity, also important for seed germination, yet its effect on forests soil seed bank diversity remains underexplored. This study assessed the impact of both light availability and spatio‐temporal heterogeneity on soil seed bank diversity.

Friends or foes? Polyploidy and competition in a grassland geophyte

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Previous studies have suggested polyploids may possess a competitive advantage over diploids, due to their larger size, increased vigour or ability to better respond to abiotic stress. However, few studies have tested the effect of polyploidy on competitive ability directly, and only relatively recently has this oversight begun to be addressed. Here we

Inconsistent effects of P enrichment and predator presence on food‐web dynamics in a bromeliad system

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Food webs consist of trophic interactions of variable strength. However, it remains challenging to predict how changes in environmental conditions, such as nutrient enrichment, can affect these interactions. In this paper, we propose to integrate food web theory with ecological stoichiometry, which predicts how elemental ratios affect trophic ...

Some love them, others hate them: Understanding farmers' tree planting decisions in Scotland

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Agroforestry is increasingly recognized as a sustainable agricultural land use system with potential to sequester carbon, create and repair habitats, enhance biodiversity and offer environmental and socio‐economic benefits, including improved agricultural productivity.

Bushmeat consumption frequency and preferences among rural households in a West African savanna landscape: Implications for food security and conservation

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The drivers of consumer demand for bushmeat are relatively well studied in tropical forest systems, but much less so in savanna areas. This is important because differing ecological and socio‐economic conditions lead to different factors affecting the relationship between local communities and their natural resources.
