Long‐term benefits of burns for large mammal habitat undermined by large, severe fires in the American West

Ecography, EarlyView.
Escalating wildfire frequency and severity are altering wildland habitats worldwide. Yet investigations into fire impacts on wildlife habitat rarely extend to the macroecological scales relevant to species conservation and global change processes. We evaluate the effects of wildfire on habitat quality and selection by large mammals spanning three ...

Temperature-dependent variations in under-canopy herbaceous foliar diseases following shrub encroachment in grasslands

Nature Communications
Shrub encroachment into grasslands poses a global concern, impacting species biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Yet, the effect of shrub encroachment on herbaceous diseases and the dependence of that effect on climatic factors remain ambiguous. This

Physiology–microhabitat matching may help organisms cope with the thermal and hydric challenges under climate change: a tale of two lizards

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate change is significantly affecting biodiversity, and organisms that depend on external temperature – such as ectotherms – are particularly vulnerable to these effects. Microhabitats provide refuge for species, thereby reducing exposure to thermal and hydric stress under climate change.

Critical transition of soil microbial diversity and composition triggered by plant rhizosphere effects

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Over the years, microbial community composition in the rhizosphere has been extensively studied as the most fascinating topic in microbial ecology. In general, plants affect soil microbiota through rhizodeposits and changes in abiotic conditions. However,

Sustainable Upcycling of Office Waste Paper Into Cobalt/Carbon Aerogels for Highly Efficient Microwave Absorption

Electron, EarlyView.
Co/C aerogels (Co/CAs) are successfully fabricated with office waste paper (OWP) as the raw material by loading ZIF‐67 crystals. The optimal sample exhibited an effective absorption bandwidth of 5.6 GHz, which outperforms many biomass‐derived microwave absorbing materials.
