Seed dispersal disruption limits tropical forest regrowth | PNAS Identifying linkages between biodiversity loss and climate change is required for understanding the scope of these interconnected challenges and de...

Our new study shows how animal biodiversity loss is a climate problem: tropical forests recover far less carbon where seed dispersers have declined.

We’re not just losing forests – we’re losing their ability to regrow.

Reversing that trend could align biodiversity recovery with climate solutions.🧵

The Unexpected Benefits of Herbivory Under Drought Herbivores might help young oak trees survive drought by reducing their water loss, which could be important for recovering...

Can plant damage actually benefit oak survival? Research shows herbivory reduces water loss in drought-stressed oak seedlings, benefiting vulnerable species.
