Haldane Prize 2025 | Jiangnan Li: Linking rock outcrop size and distance to soil multifunctionality in mountain ecosystems

2025 HALDANE PRIZE SHORTLIST: Haldane Prize 2025 | Jiangnan Li discusses the paper “Linking rock outcrop size and distance to soil multifunctionality in mountain ecosystems“, which has been shortlisted for Functional Ecology’s 2025 Haldane Prize for Early Career Researchers. About the Paper In our paper, we investigate how rock outcrop size and distance influence soil multifunctionality in mountain ecosystems. We aim to understand how these … Continue reading Haldane Prize 2025 | Jiangnan Li: Linking rock outcrop size and distance to soil multifunctionality in mountain ecosystems

Hana Skálová: Cations make a difference: Soil nutrient patches and fine-scale root abundance of individual species in a mountain grassland

Alt: Stable nutrient patches in the field seem attractive for plant roots In this new post Hana Skálová, from the Institute of Botany in Průhonice (Czech Republic), presents her recently published article “Cations make a difference: Soil nutrient patches and fine-scale root abundance of individual species in a mountain grassland.” She discusses the importance of overlooked nutrients on plant roots, highlights how new technology enables … Continue reading Hana Skálová: Cations make a difference: Soil nutrient patches and fine-scale root abundance of individual species in a mountain grassland
