The significance of this relationship lies in the fact that the composition of sestonic material is known to influence a large number of ecosystem processes such as secondary production, nutrient ...

The 'dead man's fingers,' is a mould found across the United States. It thrives on dead or decaying trees and plays a vital role in forest ecosystems by aiding decomposition and nutrient cycling.

A new study published in Nature Communications reveals that how tree species are arranged in a forest can significantly impact biodiversity, carbon cycling, and overall forest ...

This so-called species spatial heterogeneity, which refers to the patterns of species distribution within a forest, such as block or line planting, affects how nutrients cycle through the ecosystem.
