Coyotes are fairly new to the US east coast. Here's a curious one exploring a mixture plot in the #BiodiversiTREE tree diversity experiment in Edgewater MD (taken by Cathy Fahey). Will be interesting to see how these top predators affect food webs. #treedivnet

Chemically mediated plant–enemy interactions promote positive biodiversity effects on young tree growth A large-scale tree diversity experiment reveals that early growth of trees is influenced by phytochemically mediated trophic interactions. Specifically, foliar chemical diversity is higher for trees ...

led by Cathy Fahey, we used #metabolomics in the #BiodiversiTREE experiment to show that chemically mediated plant–enemy interactions promote positive biodiversity effects on young tree growth - Journal of Ecology #treedivnet besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

There’s no such thing as a dead tree 💀
