Impacts of reindeer grazing on phosphorus sorption and nutrient availability in a tundra site
Oikos, EarlyView.Reindeer Rangifer tarandus, a large circumpolar herbivore, can influence whether nitrogen (N) or phosphorus (P) is the primary limiting nutrient in tundra plant communities. Specifically, findings from a site in northern Scandinavia suggest that under conditions where reindeer grazing stimulates inorganic N availability, grazing may drive ecosystems ...

Whole‐seedling trait adjustments of mountain birch under contrasting environmental conditions
Oikos, EarlyView.Warming temperatures can promote arctic tree seedling establishment and growth, but these effects depend on the environmental context and the seedlings' capacity to acquire limiting resources. Here, we tested how temperature, soil properties, and the presence of a neighbouring shrub influence seedling growth rates.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data.

Cultivating biodiversity: When conservation in agricultural landscapes embodies farmers' values
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Efforts to conserve biodiversity in agricultural landscapes across Europe remain insufficient, as biodiversity further declines. This is sometimes ascribed to conservation policy failing to address the meanings and values that farmers attribute to the social and ecological contexts shaping their decisions influencing biodiversity.

Ecological studies on some lakes of the Amazon valley
, 1967 Of the three types of lakes studied, clear water, white water, and brown water, the white water lakes are the only ones to have a reasonable autochtonous production of organic matter. Owing probably to the lack of mineral salts, the primary production is

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Different properties of biocomposites based on TPS with isosorbide as a plasticizer and green graphene filler. ABSTRACT New biocomposites of corn starch plasticized with isosorbide and filled with two types of “green” graphene with different oxygen content, 1% (G99) and 8% (G92), were processed by melt blending.

Hurdles to overcome to achieve biostimulant‐driven, low chemical input crop production
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Crop production requires considerable chemical inputs that result in significant greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental costs. Biostimulants are natural agents, such as microorganisms or seaweed, applied to plants and soil to stimulate plant growth and reduce chemical inputs. Biostimulant use is rapidly increasing globally, but hurdles remain,

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Holoendoparasites are extremely rare plants that live entirely hidden inside their hosts, with only flowers and fruits visible. We studied Apodanthes caseariae, found in central and South America, parasitizing Casearia sylvestris. Little is known about its life cycle.
