Thinles Chondol: Survival strategy in the hostile Himalayan Mountain: Marcescence

In this new post, Thinles Chondol – a PhD candidate at the University of South Bohemia – presents her work “Ecological significance of marcescence in Himalayan plants: Why is standing dead phytomass more important in demanding, resource-limited environments?” She shows the importance of marcescence for plant persistence, discusses how looking at your study system can lead to new questions and shares how her love for … Continue reading Thinles Chondol: Survival strategy in the hostile Himalayan Mountain: Marcescence
