Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

Root hair plasticity in cereals under abiotic stress

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
An integrative perspective on how to study the regulation of root hair plasticity to increase the resilience of cereals to abiotic stress. Summary Abiotic stress is a constant threat to crop growth and yield in the context of climate change. Root systems that can best adapt their architecture to environmental challenges contribute to enhanced ...

Land use overrides climatic controls on soil organic nitrogen transformations: Contrasting responsiveness between forest and cropland ecosystems

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2128-2142, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil organic nitrogen (SON) transformation is critical for global nutrient cycling and ecosystem productivity, yet how its responsiveness to climate change differs across diverse land use types remains poorly resolved.

丹江口库区石渣土土壤水分有效性研究

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2002
土壤水分有效性的高低是制约石渣土生产能力的关键因素之一。对丹江口库区郧县石渣土 3种不同土石比土壤水分有效性的研究表明 :土壤水分有效性与土壤中的土 (2 mm)比关系密切。土壤蒸发、持水、导水和供水能力均与土壤中的土石比的大小有关。 3种土壤的持水能力 ,以石砾含量较少、质地较粘的土壤最强 ,以石砾含量较多、质地为壤质的土壤最低。而土壤水分蒸发能力与砾石含量呈负相关 ,土壤水分扩散率则与砾石含量呈正相关。适中土石比的土壤可提高入渗性能 ,减少蒸发量 ,提高供水性能。

The underappreciated roles of fog and dew on vegetation and biocrusts

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 46-63, July 2026.
Summary Fog and dew represent minor components of ecosystem water budgets in most ecosystems. However, fog and dew can play an essential role in ecosystem dynamics and are particularly important for water‐limited systems. In addition to serving as direct water inputs, fog and dew can influence microclimate and water redistribution, thereby promoting ...

水土保持森土壤肥力及其评价指标

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2000
水土保持林作为保持水土、防止土壤侵蚀的特有林种，对于提高土壤肥力具有重要作用。常见的评价土壤肥力的指标有土壤酶活性、土壤有机质含量、土壤有机－无机复合体和微团聚体、土壤颗粒组成、土壤微生物数量以及土壤的其它理化性状等。通过分析不同水土保持林的土壤酶活性和土壤有机质含量。对其土壤肥力进行了评价。结果表明，有林地土壤肥力高于无林地；油松－阔叶树混交林土壤肥力比油松纯林更高；同一林分随着林龄的增长 ...

Root exudates mediate microorganisms to improve rhizosphere nutrient availability and crop productivity under straw mulching and slow‐release nitrogen fertilizer

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1725-1739, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Root exudates play a key role as signals and nutrients in mediating plant–microbe communication. However, critical knowledge gaps remain regarding how root exudates mediate soil–microbe–plant interactions to regulate crop yield under long‐term straw mulching combined ...

Sustainable Nanocellulose‐Based Materials for Environmental Remediation: Structure–Function Relationships and Applications

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Environmental pollution across water, air, and soil systems poses escalating threats to human health and ecosystem stability, driven by heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, particulate matter (PM), bioaerosols, and toxic gases. Conventional remediation technologies often suffer from limited selectivity, insufficient efficiency, and the
