Associations between mycorrhizal dominance and woody species diversity shift with stand development and climate across subtropical and tropical forests in Taiwan

Ecography, EarlyView.
Mycorrhizal symbioses influence woody species diversity, but whether this association shifts with forest stand development remains underexplored. Using forest inventory data across subtropical and tropical forests in Taiwan, we found that woody species diversity was lower in ectomycorrhizal (EM)‐dominated than in arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)‐dominated ...

Scale‐dependent assembly shapes taxon‐dependent responses of soil microbes to island isolation and area

Ecography, EarlyView.
The theory of island biogeography (TIB) remains contentious for microbes, as their immense dispersal potential and microscopic size may decouple diversity from classic isolation/area effects. We explicitly tested TIB scaling rules for soil bacteria and fungi across 20 oceanic islands using a rigorous multi‐scale framework that integrated high ...

Soil Organic Carbon Losses: The Balance between Respiration and Leaching, and Phosphorus Mobility in Lateritic Soils

Journal of Tropical Soils, 2010
Organic matter (OM) application may contribute to managing lateritic soils by improving aspects of physical, chemical, and biological fertility. However, the finite persistence of organic carbon (OC), the main component of soil organic matter (SOM), may

Nested Carbon Governance in Southeast Asia: Towards Just Nature‐Based Solutions?

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NbS) have gained prominence as an integrated approach to addressing climate change and biodiversity loss while supporting sustainable development. Yet, their implementation across Southeast Asia remains fragmented and often contested.

Operational and environmental barriers to centralized composting in two small Brazilian municipalities: A longitudinal study

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Municipal solid waste management in small cities faces severe logistical and financial barriers regarding organic fraction treatment. This study evaluates biological selective collection in two small Brazilian municipalities (Astorga and Sabáudia), comparing dynamics between gated communities (GC) and public thoroughfares (PT) over an annual ...

Nitrogen enrichment does not adversely affect exchangeable bases in rainfed urban arable soils of Kumasi, a tropical West African city

Geoderma
Urbanisation induces nitrogen (N) enrichment in tropical soils. This enhances soil acidification, leading in turn to a decrease in effective cation exchange capacity (CECe) and base saturation (BSe).

The Critical Role of Economies of Scale: A Techno‐Economic Assessment of Small‐ Versus Large‐Scale Biogas Upgrading in Rural Tanzania

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Small‐scale biogas upgrading can improve methane quality but remains financially unattractive to individual rural households. Community‐scale implementation substantially lowers energy costs, demonstrating that economies of scale are critical to making purified biogas a viable clean‐cooking option in Tanzania.
