Las plantas que son adaptadas para vivir en el dosel experimentan una compensación con mortalidad más alto cuando estén en contacto con el suelo terrestre. Estudios siguientes deben explorar el papel de los microbios de la tierra y las limitaciones... besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

What a loss. 💔I feel fortunate to have gotten to know Gabe many years ago on BCI and nerded out about our mutual love of tropical plants over the years. 🌱

Dear Gabe,
You grew a forest. We, the forest, your friends, colleagues, and peers, will always miss you. But we are certain that you will continue to light up this forest forever.
With love,
Your friends from UC Berkeley
