Mycorrhizal associations modify tree diversity-productivity relationships across experimental tree plantations
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2024)Decades of studies have demonstrated links between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, yet the generality of the relationships and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, especially for forest ecosystems. Using 11 ... -
Effects of plant diversity on productivity strengthen over time due to trait-dependent shifts in species overyielding
(Nature Publishing Group, 2024)Plant diversity effects on community productivity often increase over time. Whether the strengthening of diversity effects is caused by temporal shifts in species-level overyielding (i.e., higher species-level productivity ... -
Bio-based phase change material for enhanced building energy efficiency: A study of beech and thermally modified beech wood for wall structures
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2024)This study investigated the impregnation of beech and thermally modified beech (TMB) with a ternary mixture of capric acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid as a bio-based phase change material (BPCM). Finite element method ... -
Semantic segmentation of plant roots from RGB (mini-) rhizotron images-generalisation potential and false positives of established methods and advanced deep-learning models
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2023)Background Manual analysis of (mini-)rhizotron (MR) images is tedious. Several methods have been proposed for semantic root segmentation based on homogeneous, single-source MR datasets. Recent advances in deep learning ... -
