Vegetation Turnovers Reduced Water Availability During the Last Icehouse
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 9, September 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Plants are hypothesised to have changed in function, biogeography and environmental impact throughout the Phanerozoic. The fossil record preserves large‐scale shifts in water use traits with evolution. We test how time‐appropriate plants modified their environment differently based on their water use traits and where they survived during ...

Revisiting k: Time‐varying stream litter breakdown rates
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 576-586, August 2025.Abstract Litter decomposition is usually modeled with the negative exponential model, which assumes constant proportional mass loss. We assessed this assumption and its interpretive consequences using 145 stream litter mass loss time series and process‐based simulations.
