Now published in @newphyt.bsky.social, @1pantunes.bsky.social and I review evidence for the "Novel Weapons Hypothesis" and the role of allelopathy during invasion. Bottom line: there is very good reason to be skeptical.

New paper out today - Microplastic fibers, not bulkier shapes, disrupt soil carbon cycling, cutting CO₂ emissions ~25%. Grateful for the collaboration with lead author Serra-Willow Buchanan and Marie Sauvadet, Ryan Prosser and Kari Dunfield.

Happy to share this work co-authored with Ylva Lekberg and Jonathan Plett. In a world plagued by war and environmental destruction, research into how mycorrhizal fungi can advance the UN sustainability goals might seem irrelevant. It is not.

Very pleased to share that, as of June 1st, I'll be serving as an Editor at New Phytologist; interactions section.
It’s an honour, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to contribute to a journal I've always admired, and that has played such an important role in advancing plant science.
