New #OA paper in Plant Cell & Environment led by Juri Felix in collaboration with Phil Stevenson. We explored the mechanisms of assisted migration effects on oak–herbivore interactions in the Climate Match tree diversity experiment #TreeDivNet 🌳🐛☀️ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pc…

📢 In a new #OA Forum paper in Oikos we discuss the underlying mechanisms of temporal shifts in tree diversity effects on forest ecosystem functioning and use the Satakunta forest diversity experiments as a case study 🌳🌲 📈 #TreeDivNet doi.org/10.1111/oik.10…
