Why are trees hollow? Termites, microbes and tree internal stem damage in a tropical savanna Open
Wood plays a vital role in the terrestrial carbon cycle, both sequestering and subsequently releasing carbon to the atmosphere via decomposition. Decomposition has largely been studied in fallen and standing deadwood; much less is known ab…
Modelling internal stem damage in savanna trees: Error in aboveground biomass with terrestrial laser scanning and allometry Open
Forests and woodlands are critical terrestrial carbon stores. Tree aboveground biomass (AGB) can be estimated using allometric models and terrestrial laser scanning (TLS). However, internal tree stem damage from biotic decay is an unresolv…

Why are trees hollow? Termites, microbes, and tree internal stem damage in a tropical savanna Open
1. Wood plays a vital role in the terrestrial carbon cycle, serving as a significant carbon store that is then released back to the atmosphere during decomposition. Decomposition has largely been studied in fallen and standing deadwood; ho…

Comparing the effects of internal stem damage on aboveground biomass estimates from terrestrial laser scanning and allometric scaling models Open
Forests and woodlands are critical carbon stores, and methods for quantifying forest aboveground biomass (AGB) are increasingly relied upon for determining sequestered CO2 traded in carbon markets. AGB is traditionally measured using allom…
Divergent rainforest tree microbiomes between phases of the monsoon cycle, host plants and tissues Open
The Australian Monsoon Tropics (AMT) contain some of the most biodiverse forests on the continent. Little is known about the dynamics of rainforest plant microbiomes in general, and there have been no community‐level studies on Australian …
Communities of tropical soil fungi differ between burned and unburned forest, with corresponding changes in plant community composition, litter and soil chemistry Open
Fire is predicted to be more severe and frequent in forests of the Australian Monsoon Tropics over the coming decades. The way in which groups of ecologically important soil fungi respond to disturbance caused by fire has not been studied …

Fungal Planet description sheets: 1112–1181 Open
Novel species of fungi described in this study include those from various countries as follows: Australia , Austroboletus asper on soil, Cylindromonium alloxyli on leaves of Alloxylon pinnatum, Davidhawksworthia quintiniae on leaves of Qui…
Mycorrhizal associations and phylogenetic relationships of South-east Queensland Bulbophyllum orchids Open
Throughout their life cycles orchids are reliant on inorganic nutrients provided by mutualistic orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF), to which the plants allocate sugars produced in photosynthesis. In this study, fungi were isolated from the roo…
