Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Soil microbial carbon (CUE) and nitrogen (NUE) use efficiency are critical for soil carbon (C) sequestration and nitrogen (N) availability. However, how microbial CUE and NUE respond to stand density is unclear. Furthermore, it remains unclear whether the response of microbial CUE and NUE to stand density could be mediated by soil depth.

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 ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The first edition of the Ordnance Survey's 1:2500 County Series is marked with treed areas, such as woodlands and orchards, and, remarkably, freestanding trees. Consequently, it is an unparalleled source of information on the distribution of trees across Britain in the mid‐late nineteenth century, when the maps were first surveyed. In order to
