There is uncertainty in whether there is a common pattern of nestedness and modularity in plant–arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi associations, partly because of limitations arising from the use of ...

🌷New Research highlight showcases Arrowsmith et al. (2025), which shows that temperature alone can shift pollinators’ floral choices in diverse plant–pollinator communities. Such thermally-driven species interaction rewiring may have important consequences. ➡️ buff.ly/i5QrFjd

¿Es rentable pagar a los agricultores por capturar carbono? El caso del olivar andaluz - Climática, el medio especializado en clima y biodiversidad
El 'carbon farming' (agricultura de captura de carbono) gana protagonismo en las políticas europeas, pero su efectividad y rentabilidad están en debate. Un estudio centrado en Andalucía y su olivar revela los límites –y también las oportunidades– de pagar a los agricultores por cuidar el suelo.
