Patterns and environmental drivers of root traits across hydrological gradients in old growth boreal forests

Oikos, EarlyView.
Many key ecosystem functions are affected by plant roots and their traits. However, understanding of the patterns in, and drivers of, root traits lags far behind equivalent knowledge of above‐ground tissues, particularly in boreal old growth forests. We surveyed community‐level root traits across 11 old growth forests spanning a wide latitudinal range ...

Dynamic response of communities and ecosystem functions to ecosystem engineering and multiple stressors in a marine mussel bed

Oikos, EarlyView.
Ecosystem engineers are crucial to the development of coastal ecosystem communities and functions. However, a better understanding of how environmental stressors affect ecosystem engineering and thereby influence communities and ecosystem dynamics is needed. We conducted an in situ experiment in a blue mussel Mytilus spp.

Drivers of metabolic density‐dependence: how resource availability and conspecific cues affect phytoplankton metabolism

Oikos, EarlyView.
Metabolism is density‐dependent from unicellular to multicellular organisms. Understanding what drives metabolic suppression is important to explain population growth given the link between metabolism and biomass production. In the simplest scenario, metabolic suppression is caused by a reduction in resource availability with increasing population ...

Enhancing Interfacial Adhesion and Toughness of Flax Fabric/Polylactic Acid Biocomposites Through Polyethylene Glycol Treatment

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Production of flax fabric/polylactic acid biocomposite. ABSTRACT The development of fully biodegradable composites has gained significant attention as a sustainable alternative to traditional fiber‐reinforced materials. This study focuses on enhancing the interfacial adhesion and toughness of flax fiber‐reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) biocomposites ...

Epistemic diversity and the politics of knowledge in plant disease management: Insights from the Xylella fastidiosa epidemic in southern Italy

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Xylella fastidiosa is a major plant pathogen affecting crops such as grapes, citrus, almonds, and olives, with potentially severe consequences for agricultural production and rural livelihoods worldwide. This paper examines the conflict around the management of the X. fastidiosa outbreak affecting olive trees in southern Italy.
