Dieback of Calluna vulgaris in a Coastal Heathland After the 2018 Extreme Drought
We studied Calluna vulgaris responses to the 2018 drought in the coastal heathland of Hiddensee Island (NE Germany). Plant damage increased with elevation but also varied among neighboring plants, li...

Wouldn't it be great if we had a fast non destructive way to measure lignin content on wood anatomical thin sections?

🚨Red Intensity🚨 seems to be the answer!

Have a look at our preprint!

Exploring Red Intensity Trends in Double-Stained Wood Thin Sections
Measuring wood anatomical traits across thin sections can reveal how plants respond to environmental factors on an intra-annual scale. However, cell wall lignif

Switching to silviculture 🌳..
what about increasing chestnut coppicing season to a broader period?😲
It looks like, in the long term, stumps vigor gets more and more even😌

The effects of cutting season on stump mortality and resprouting in southern European Sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) coppices
Historically, Sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) has played a key role in the southern European rural economy. In the last century, due to the spr…

Interested in simplifying ring count and measurement in shrubs? Have a look at our preprint!
papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
Here we proved INBD (github.com/alexander-g/...) to be a fast, simple, and reliable tool for measuring rings in 2 shrub species, and to improve cross-dating!

Environmental Conditions Modulate Warming Effects on Plant Litter Decomposition Globally
Empirical studies show substantial variability in plant litter decomposition responses to warming, leaving the overall impact of climate change on decomposition uncertain. Our meta-analysis of 109 ex...
