Phyllosphere fungal diversity generates pervasive nonadditive effects on plant performance

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 243, Issue 6, Page 2416-2429, September 2024.
Summary Plants naturally harbor diverse microbiomes that can dramatically impact their health and productivity. However, it remains unclear how fungal microbiome diversity, especially in the phyllosphere, impacts intermicrobial interactions and consequent nonadditive effects on plant productivity.

Bird perches and artificial bat roosts increase seed rain and seedling establishment in tropical bracken‐dominated deforested areas

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 7, September 2024.
Tropical forests are being reduced by human activities. The use of fire for agricultural expansion generates areas dominated by the bracken fern Pteridium, where forest regeneration is slow. This may be caused by seed limitation, especially of animal‐dispersed seeds, due to the absence of seed dispersers from the forest in deforested areas, calling for

Weak allelopathic effects of bracken fern (Pteridium esculentum subsp. arachnoideum) on early life stages of native tree species in a Neotropical montane forest

open access: yesPlant Ecology
The allelopathic effect of Pteridium ferns (hereafter bracken) is considered an important factor hindering forest recovery. We examined the effects of bracken allelopathy on seed germination, seedling emergence, survival, and relative growth rate (RGR ...

Systematic reduction in seed rain of large‐seeded and endozoochorous species in pastures compared to forests along a tropical elevational gradient

open access: yesApplied Vegetation Science, Volume 27, Issue 2, April/June 2024.
By analyzing variation in seed rain among old‐growth montane forests and livestock pastures along a 2,000 m elevational gradient in the tropical Andes of southern Ecuador, this study reveals that large seeds and endozoochorous species are less prevalent in seed rain from pastures compared to seed rain from forests at the same elevation.

Edaphic macrofauna in the establishment of an agroforestry system in the High Andean region of Southern Colombia

open access: yesRevista Ciência Agrícola
Biological degradation of the soil due to inadequate agricultural practices that eliminate vegetative cover and, therefore, organic matter, reduces the biological communities that perform important ecological functions in the soil.
