As the primary decomposers of organic material in terrestrial ecosystems, fungi are critical agents of the global carbon cycle. Yet our ability to link fungal community composition to ecosystem ...

Despite its central influence on the performance, lifespan and safety of the lithium-ion battery, knowledge about the Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) formation is still limited. The interphase that ...

Through a combination of lab and field experiments, researchers have developed a better understanding of the factors accounting for different wood decomposition rates among fungi. The new findings ...

Dry woodlands frequently experience fire, and the heterogeneous spatial patterning of vegetation cover and fire behavior in these systems can lead to interspersed burned and unburned patches of ...
