Transforming Management Education: Insights from Social‐Ecological Systems and Social Innovation Research

open access: yesJournal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract It is clear that contemporary management education (ME) needs to be transformed to tackle complex social‐ecological crises effectively. However, the concept of transformation is often ill‐defined in the context of ME; while there is also a lack of understanding about what concrete transformation trajectories (also called scaling pathways) are ...

Ecological and genomic variation in ectomycorrhizal fungal exploration types

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) produce mycelia with variable extension and complexity, which can be classified according to soil ‘exploration types’ (ETs). ETs have received attention as one of the few mycorrhizal trait frameworks, but without an empirical classification of ET functional diversity and environmental preferences, understanding and ...

A novel method based on high‐resolution imaging spectroscopy to predict fine‐root traits and the economics space of fresh tree roots

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Maps of the estimated root nitrogen concentration in the < 0.5‐mm‐diameter classes of 20 woody species based on the imaging spectroscopy using the shortwave infrared spectral region. Summary Tree fine‐root morphological, anatomical, and chemical traits are important to reflect belowground resource acquisition strategies to support tree growth, but ...

The roads most traveled: genetic convergence in plant repeated evolution

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Observation of a genotype–phenotype association in a focal lineage (magnifying lens) provides a starting point for predicting homolog reuse during repeated trait evolution. This review suggests that the likelihood that mutations in homologous genes contribute to similar phenotypes in other lineages depends on both mutational effect stability (MES) and ...

QUANTITATIVE FORESTS DESCRIPTION FROM SKARDU, GILGIT AND ASTORE DISTRICTS OF GILGIT-BALTISTAN, PAKISTAN

open access: yesFUUAST Journal of Biology, 2011
A quantitative study of forest vegetation was conducted in 40 stands from three District of Gilgit-Baltistan. On the basis of phytosociological analysis and maximum important value index, following 5 pure stands and 5 communities of mixed tree species ...

Species‐level controls of foliar methane and nitrous oxide fluxes: roles of traits and microbes in temperate trees

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Species‐level variation in temperate tree foliar greenhouse gas exchange, showing consistent foliar CH4 uptake, N2O emission, stronger CH4 uptake in fall leaves, and contrasting methanotroph communities between the high‐CH4‐oxidizing species Tilia americana and the low‐CH4‐oxidizing species Prunus virginiana. Summary The contribution of tree foliage to

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 ...

Disentangling Thermal and Hydraulic Drivers of Stomatal Conductance Under Hot Versus Dry Vapour Pressure Deficit Increases Using Water‐Use Efficiency

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Predicting plant functioning in a warming world requires capturing its divergent responses to hot versus dry vapour pressure deficit (VPD) increases. Stomatal responses to VPD are typically studied without disentangling the effects of RH and temperature, creating uncertainties for future plant functioning.

Selective seasonal foraging behavior of herbivores on a Danish island demonstrated by DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Understanding how herbivores influence plant communities is critical for managing biodiversity and ecosystem functions, particularly in conservation areas undergoing restoration or rewilding, where free‐ranging large herbivores impact the vegetation development.
