Plant roots have a large diversity of form and function, which is also related to their degree of mycorrhizal association. This is known as the fungal collaboration gradient, where thinner r...

This was a cool collaboration between modellers and field experimentalists where we implemented root traits and mycorrhizal fungi into a dynamic vegetation model. Led by the awesome Mateus Dantas de Paula! @tropiroot.bsky.social

The botanist Al Gentry changed tropical ecology and helped create the global science of today.

This new article celebrates Gentry's unique innovations, achievements and lasting influence, more than 30 years after his untimely death.
