Oikos, EarlyView.To understand the structuring of species assemblages, integrating life‐history traits and evolutionary heritage in analyses is vital. This allows the assessment of a mechanistic link between species and their environment. Deadwood systems are vital for nutrient cycling and biodiversity support, governed by complex intra‐ and inter‐specific fungal and ...

Identifying knowledge barriers to agroforestry adoption and co‐designing solutions to them
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Compared to monocultures, agroforestry can promote biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and climate resilience, whilst maintaining or enhancing production and profits. Despite this, uptake in temperate regions remains low. Knowledge gaps amongst land managers are a primary barrier to uptake, but little is known about which aspects of ...
