Two Wiener-Anspach Fellows, researchers David Bauman and Guillaume Delhaye, are currently working together in Oxford, under the supervision of Prof. Yadvinder Malhi (School of Geography and the Environment). In the framework of their postdoctoral fellowship, they have authored, with other colleagues, a paper entitled “Interspecific trait integration increases with environmental harshness: A case study along a metal toxicity gradient”. The study is available on the website of the journal Functional Ecology.
David Bauman has recently published two other papers:
“Tree growth, recruitment, and survival in a tropical dry woodland: the importance of soil and functional identity of the neighbourhoodt” (Forest Ecology and Management, 15 March 2020, available here).
“Past human disturbances and soil fertility both influence the distribution of light-demanding tree species in a Central African tropical forest” (Journal of Vegetation Science, 28 January 2020, available here).
David Bauman is carrying out a second year of research on “Influence of Climate and soil constraints on the mechanisms of tropical tree meta-community assembly – a functional and multi-scale approach”, while Guillaume Delhaye’s research project is entitled “The determinants of species abundance in communities: importance of intraspecific trait distribution and covariance”.
