After 3 years of research on how forest plants 🌿 and fungi 🍄 recover in reforested agricultural areas, I just submitted my PhD! 🥳 Grateful to my supervisors and colleagues for their support. Next steps: publishing and preparing for my defense. #PhD #Reforestation #Biodiversity

Individual species responses reveal that forest structure and soil factors can be as important for forest multi-taxa biodiversity. 🌳🌳🍄🪲🪳. Check out our new paper. tinyurl.com/4fvbtzmj David Byriel Aslak Kappel Hansen #ForestEcologyandManagement

Out now in NatureEcoEvo! Led by Dr. Lidong Mo & Dr. Constantin Zohner, we studied global wood density variation & its drivers🪵🌍 Our research reveals a latitudinal gradient, whereby wood in the tropics is 30% more dense than in boreal forests. Why? Learn more: doi.org/10.1038/s41559…
