A densely sampled molecular phylogeny of Tachigali (Leguminosae), an evolutionarily successful lineage of neotropical ant-housing canopy trees
Despite recent advances in revealing the evolutionary history of speciose tropical plant clades, many species radiations are still poorly understood...

Host identity and neighborhood trees affect belowground microbial communities in a tropical rainforest
The roots and rhizospheres of trees harbor diverse microbial communities that can modulate plant competition and facilitation, thereby influencing...

Symbiotic nitrogen fixation strategies relate to phenotypic plasticity but not invasion risk
Many invasive plant species are symbiotic N-fixers that can have strong impacts on ecosystem processes. Nitrogen-fixing plants use a diversity of...

Factors driving the positive resorption of aluminum and iron from old leaves
PurposeLeaf resorption is an important mechanism for plant nutrient conservation, but not all elements are resorbed by plants. It is generally...
-
Soil Nitrogen Dynamics and Management in Agroforestry Systems for Ecological Sustainability
The apparent benefits of improving soil health and providing ecosystem services associated with agroforestry systems have led to the attraction of...

Potentials of Indigenous Fruit Trees in Enhancing Nutrition, Income and Biodiversity Conservation in African Agroforestry
Indigenous fruit trees are in abundance as wild in the forests of Africa and play very significant role in food, nutrition, income and livelihood...

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria and Oxalis – evidence for a vertically inherited bacterial symbiosis
BackgroundPlant-endophyte symbioses often revolve around nitrogen metabolism, and involve varying degrees of intimacy. Although evidence for vertical...
