Climate resilience in agroforestry systems.
Agroforestry is increasingly recognised as a potential mitigation and adaptation strategy against climate change. Agroforestry is often argued to increase soil carbon, improve nutrient cycling and promote soil biodiversity. Howeve ...

How do root traits drive decomposition rates?
Nearly half of Earth's plant biomass is belowground in the form of roots. Root materials are generally more fibrous and less digestible than aboveground plant parts, making their decomposition rates slower, so that the majority of ...
