Equipped for success: genomes and metabolomes of the European Amanita muscaria are conserved in its novel South African range

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Plants and soils have been moved around the world for centuries, but invasive mushrooms receive scant attention. The Amanita muscaria species complex was introduced to South Africa in the context of forestry, but its origins, ecology and recent evolution are unstudied. We sequenced the genomes of 24 Northern and Southern Hemisphere A. muscaria,

Nutrient relations in coniferous forests [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The environment controls physiological processes in plants and thus their growth. The question how forests will respond to global environmental changes is addressed with different approaches and using two coniferous tree species: Scots pine (Pinus ...

Sulphate concentration in cave dripwater and speleothems:long-term trends and overview of its significance as proxy for environmental processes and climate changes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Sulphate concentrations in speleothems identify major volcanic eruptions, provide useful information on soil and aquifer dynamics and, in similar fashion to the 14C bomb peak, its Anthropocene peak can be used to date recent cave formations. However, the

De‐Coupled Water and Nitrogen Translocation From Subsoil to Canopy of Temperate Forest Trees

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water and nitrogen (N) transport from soil to canopy play a central role in tree functioning, yet direct evidence for their timing and coupling in mature forests remains scarce. We report results from a paired dual‐isotope (2H, 15N) tracer experiment in a temperate forest, comparing water and nitrate uptake patterns across tree species ...

Drought legacy in mature spruce alleviates physiological stress during recurrent drought

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
The slow recovery of leaf area in mature spruce following a long‐term drought alleviated physiological stress during recurrent drought. Abstract Forest ecosystems are facing severe and prolonged droughts with delayed recovery, known as “drought legacy”.

Extreme dry climate conditions undermine the benefits of ecological restoration on carbonate weathering: A case study from 7 years of monitoring data for an underground river in a typical karst trough valley, in Southwest China

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: Longtan Trough Valley, Youyang, Chongqing, China Study focus: Carbonate weathering and associated carbon sinks are sensitive to climate change and vegetation dynamics.

Ecosystem-driven karst carbon cycle and carbon sink effects

open access: yesJournal of Groundwater Science and Engineering, 2022
It is recognized that karst processes are actively involved in the current global carbon cycle based on twenty years research, and the carbon sink occurred in karst processes is possibly an important part of “missing sink” in global carbon cycle. In this paper, an overview is given on karst carbon cycle research, and influence factors, formed carbon ...

Record breaking mushroom yields in Spain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Despite the assumption that mushroom fruiting is dependent on climate conditions, recent changes in temperature and precipitation regimes in Mediterranean-type ecosystems have opened new questions about how climate changes impact epigeous sporocarps ...

Root water uptake depth in temperate forest trees: species‐specific patterns shaped by neighbourhood and environment

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Root water uptake strategies vary among temperate tree species (European beech, Douglas fir, and Norway spruce), with beech–conifer mixtures altering water uptake depths, while site conditions and temporal dynamics further shape the contribution of different soil depths to water supply.
