Restoration Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2024.Quarrying has a crucial impact on the environment, but it could enhance species diversity. Mining sites represent important refuges for countless species disappearing from homogenous landscapes. Our study focused on assemblages of heterotrophic communities such as moths (Lepidoptera), carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae), spiders (Araneae), and ...

Supporting urban greenspace with microbial symbiosis
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 6, Issue 1, Page 3-17, January 2024.Cities are stressful environments for plants, plagued by heat, pollution, and biodiversity loss. As a result, plant communities tend to suffer in green roofs, parks, and living walls. Finding solutions to help plants grow in stressful environments is a goal of the sustainable city.
