In our second podcast in the EcoGist series, Justin Dohn of Colorado State University in Colorado, USA, describes his paper on tree effects on grass growth in Savannas. P.S. To give credit where it’s due, EcoGists are modeled after the 60 second science podcasts of Scientific American. If you haven’t heard them before, definitely go have a…
We are introducing a new type of podcast: the EcoGist. These are short (from 1 to 2 minutes) podcasts in which the author or I briefly describe their paper, with motivating question, how they did it, what they found, and what it means.
