A starting guide to root ecology: strengthening ecological concepts and standardising root classification, sampling, processing and trait measurements
In the context of a recent massive increase in research on plant root functions and their
impact on the environment, root ecologists currently face many important challenges to keep …

Why does metabolism scale with temperature?
At a fundamental level, all of ecology is underpinned by the laws of thermodynamics, the
conservation of matter and the general physical principles that dictate how gases and liquids …
