Cover story: wood, termites, fungi

Our article entitled “Wood traits explain microbial but not termite-driven decay in Australian tropical rainforest and savanna” made the cover of the Journal of Ecology! Also check out our blog post for a behind-the-scenes look at the trials and...

A legacy of drought

A legacy of drought

Drought imposes a legacy of inhibition on microbial decomposition – New paper in Ecosphere by former postdoc Bin Wang uses our trait-based model to show the mechanism. But, dispersal nearly eliminates the legacy!
