Anyway, after seven(!) desc rejections, which is by far my record, we made it through in @oikosjournal.bsky.social. Thanks, Oikos, for appreciating the resolution over extent! ❤️

Our cover for November! 🧫

Rodríguez-Uña et al. (2025) reveal that trees can maintain water uptake during drought by drawing from deeper soil layers, but dry conditions reduce the diversity of their root-associated fungi—threatening vital ecosystem processes.

But how consistent are their impacts across sites?
