Impacts of large herbivores on mycorrhizal fungal communities across the Arctic Mycorrhizal fungi play an integral role in nutrient and carbon cycling in soils, which may be especially important in the Arctic, one of the world's most soil carbon-rich regions. Large mammalian her...

🚨New paper in @ecography.bsky.social! First Pan-Arctic study on how large herbivore exclusion shapes mycorrhizal fungi, brilliantly led by @colebrachmann.bsky.social. Key insight: AM fungiβ€”often overlooked in Arctic researchβ€”respond most strongly to herbivory while EcM and ErM vary locally. Thread πŸ‘‡

Neither long-term warming nor grazing influence the quality of reindeer summer pastures in Finnmark – The Herbivory Network

Do long-term warming and grazing affect the nutritional quality of forage plants for #reindeer? Fanny Berthelot and colleagues used a large spatial sampling design to address this question at management relevant scales.

🌿 We need to raise the profile of #bryophyte ecological research 🌿 (and also a bryophyte emoji!)

In this opinion piece, we as a group of #ECRs outline barriers in bryophyte research and provide recommendations to overcome them across institutional levels & disciplines.
