Haldane Prize 2025 | Lifeng Wang: Soil fauna trophic multifunctionality mediates the release of elements from decomposing typhoon-generated leaf litter

2024 HALDANE PRIZE SHORTLIST: Lifeng Wang discusses the paper “Soil fauna trophic multifunctionality mediates the release of elements from decomposing typhoon-generated leaf litter“, which has been shortlisted for Functional Ecology’s 2025 Haldane Prize for Early Career Researchers About the paper Typhoons cause large pulse fluxes of leaves that have not undergone senescence (i.e. green litter) to forest soils, with consequences for biogeochemical cycling. Elements released … Continue reading Haldane Prize 2025 | Lifeng Wang: Soil fauna trophic multifunctionality mediates the release of elements from decomposing typhoon-generated leaf litter

Haldane Prize 2025 | Jiawei Zhang: Spatial distribution and driving factors of microbial necromass carbon in coastal wetlands of China

2025 HALDANE PRIZE SHORTLIST: Jiawei Zhang discusses the paper “Spatial distribution and driving factors of microbial necromass carbon in coastal wetlands of China“, which has been shortlisted for Functional Ecology’s 2025 Haldane Prize for Early Career Researchers. About the Paper Our paper explores how microbial necromass carbon (MNC)—carbon derived from dead microorganisms—is distributed across China’s coastal wetlands and what drives its accumulation. Coastal wetlands are key … Continue reading Haldane Prize 2025 | Jiawei Zhang: Spatial distribution and driving factors of microbial necromass carbon in coastal wetlands of China

Journal content, Meet the Editor

Meet The Editor: Michael P. Moore

Current Institution: University of Colorado Denver, USA Research interests: I study how physiology and ontogeny limit the ways that organisms adapt to their environments. I am especially interested in using information about these constraints to better forecast how organisms will respond to global change. Why did you choose to study your particular area of research? When I started graduate school, there was a ton of … Continue reading Meet The Editor: Michael P. Moore
