Effects of agroforestry trees on microclimate and enset (Ensete ventricosum) morphophysiology in South Ethiopia

Admasu Yirgalem Bireda, Gezahegn Garo, Rony L. Swennen, Sabura Shara, Bart Muys, Olivier Honnay, Karen Vancampenhout

This study examines how agroforestry trees affect microclimate and enset morphophysiology in South Ethiopia, finding that tree canopy cover modifies temperature and moisture, with varying effects on plant traits.

Prolonged impact of fire on peatland fungi despite rapid recovery of vegetation, prokaryotes, and soil physicochemistry

Layla Maas, Erik Verbruggen, Marco Cosme, Tobias Ceulemans, Steven Jacobs, Yvonne Liczner, Keunbae Kim, Karen Vancampenhout, Rudy van Diggelen, Willem‐Jan Emsens

This study shows that while vegetation, soil chemistry, and prokaryotes recover quickly after a peatland wildfire, fungal communities show prolonged and distinct recovery patterns, indicating a decoupling between above- and belowground recovery.
