Mycorrhizal colonization and its relationship with plant performance differs between exotic and native grassland plant species
Many grasslands have been transformed by exotic species with potentially novel ecological interactions. We hypothesized that exotic and native plant species differ, on average, in their percentage mycorrhizal ...

Nitrogen and phosphorus cycling in an ombrotrophic peatland: a benchmark for assessing change
Slow decomposition and isolation from groundwater mean that ombrotrophic peatlands store a large amount of soil carbon (C) but have low availability of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). To better understand the...
