High Temperatures and Bacillus Inoculation Affect the Diversity of Bradyrhizobia in Cowpea Root Nodules. [PDF]
J Basic MicrobiolABSTRACT Future climatic scenario predictions indicate a substantial temperature increase, reducing crop production worldwide and demanding the development of adaptations in agriculture. This study aimed to assess the impact of high temperatures and amendments with Bacillus on nodulating bradyrhizobia.

Psidium Defenses Against Meloidogyne enterolobii: Proteomic and Microscopic Analysis of this Plant-Predator Association. [PDF]
ProteomicsABSTRACT Guava (Psidium guajava), referred to as the “tropical apple,” is esteemed for its sweet flavor, nutritional density, and medicinal attributes, being rich in ascorbic acid, phenolics, carotenoids, fibers, and minerals. Despite its agricultural significance, guava cultivation faces considerable challenges from plant‐parasitic nematodes ...

Prioritizing areas for ecological restoration: A participatory approach based on cost‐effectiveness
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 6, Page 1194-1205, June 2023., 2023 The cost‐effectiveness of restoration actions depends on the type of ecosystem and degradation state. Visualizing the outcomes of alternative restoration scenarios needs participatory prioritization maps based on financial costs and the potential supply of ecosystem services.

Mapping the root systems of individual trees in a natural community using genotyping‐by‐sequencing
New Phytologist, Volume 238, Issue 3, Page 1305-1317, May 2023., 2023 Summary The architecture of root systems is an important driver of plant fitness, competition and ecosystem processes. However, the methodological difficulty of mapping roots hampers the study of these processes. Existing approaches to match individual plants to belowground samples are low throughput and species specific.

Phylogenetic distance controls plant growth during early restoration of a semi‐arid riparian forest
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 3, Issue 4, October–December 2022., 2022 Increased phylogenetic diversity but not species richness promoted plant growth during the restoration of a semi‐arid riparian forest in NE Brazil. Such an effect was mediated by the proximity of the plants with the watercourse, indicating the importance of differences in resource use among plants.

Biocrusts increase the resistance to warming‐induced increases in topsoil P pools
Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 9, Page 2074-2087, September 2022., 2022 Our findings provide novel insights on the responses of soil P pools to warming and rainfall reduction, and highlight the importance of biocrusts as modulators of these responses in dryland ecosystems. Our results suggest that the observed negative impacts of warming on dryland biocrust communities will decrease their capacity to buffer changes in ...
