Influence of native woody understory on invasive grasses and soil nitrogen dynamics under plantation and remnant montane tropical trees

CM D'Antonio, E Rehm, C Elgersma, SG Yelenik - Ecosystems, 2024 - Springer
While the influence of canopy trees on soils in natural and restored forest environments is
well studied, the influence of understory species is not. Here, we evaluate the effects of …

Core arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are predicted by their high abundance–occupancy relationship while host‐specific taxa are rare and geographically structured

KT Kajihara, CP Egan, SOI Swift, CB Wall… - New …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Habitat restoration may depend on the recovery of plant microbial symbionts such as
