Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Biomass‐based hydrogels are widely regarded as ideal substrates for self‐powered wearable sensors. However, the practical applications of hydrogels are commonly limited by their inherent low strength and toughness, which restrict their capacity to withstand repeated stretching, bending and other mechanical loads arising from human motion in ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 9, Page 2843-2860, September 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Drylands are mainly structured by both vascular plants and biological soil crusts (biocrusts), the latter often regarded as a self‐organizing component of these ecosystems.

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2021 为了解地形对草地恢复与土壤物理性质的影响以及草地恢复与土壤物理性质之间的影响机制，因地制宜为当地生态恢复提供科学依据。选择吴起县枣庄沟小流域为研究区，对退耕坡面不同坡位草地恢复与土壤物理性质分异特征进行研究。从峁顶到沟底设置8个采样位置，在4面坡共布设128个采样点进行植被调查和土样采集，将0—40 cm土壤分0—10，10—20，20—40 cm 3层进行土壤物理性质测定，并分析其与植被分布的相关关系。结果表明：不同坡位植被分布与土壤物理性质均表现出沟缘线以上的下坡位较优，沟缘线以下的陡沟坡较差的趋势；

Integrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 192-204, June 2026.We developed an effective ex‐situ conservation approach for an endangered orchid species, Dendrobium sinominutiflorum. A compatible fungal strain Tulasnella sp. was obtained by using in‐situ seed baiting technique. The Symbiotic germination with Tulasnella sp. significantly promotes seed germination and seedling growth.

四川大学学报. 自然科学版, 2011 在矿山人工植被恢复过程中,人工植被恢复坡面植物的状况能很好的反应出工程的恢复效果.选取浙江舟山具有代表性的庆丰采石场为主要研究对象,对人工恢复坡面植物群落、周边原生植被以及土壤物理性质进行观察,研究表明,豆科及禾本科植物适合作为先锋物种进行早期人工恢复坡面的水土保持,且在群落中占据着主要的优势;在植被演替过程中,菊科及禾本科植物入侵明显,但是周围灌木、乔木的乡土种较难入侵;随着时间的进行,草本植物种类显著增加,群落多样性增加,坡面生态系统日趋稳定,其中坡中、坡下的植被恢复效果明显优于坡上 ...

Informing spatial conservation prioritization with species’ traits
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract New Guinea, the most botanically diverse island on the planet, is the location for one of the boldest conservation initiatives. The Manokwari Declaration aims to achieve 70% conservation designation for the Bird's Head Peninsula. This is 40% higher than the 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework target.

Robust metrics for quantifying and comparing resistance and recovery in experimental studies
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 6-14, January 2026.Abstract Various indices have been developed to experimentally quantify resistance and recovery (two components of engineering resilience) in response to anthropogenic and natural disturbances. This diversity complicates the selection of appropriate metrics for comparing resilience across ecosystems and studies.

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 3255-3268, November 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The biotic resistance hypothesis (BRH) of Elton posits that diverse communities are more resistant to biological invasions. While the effects of climatic stresses and human disturbances on community invasibility have been extensively studied individually, their combined

Assessing the Corn Belt as an anthropogenic barrier to migrating landbirds in the United States
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.Abstract Migrating landbirds adjust their flight and stopover behaviors to efficiently cross inhospitable geographies, such as the Gulf of Mexico and the Sahara Desert. In addition to these natural barriers, birds may increasingly encounter anthropogenic barriers created by large‐scale changes in land use. One such barrier could be the Corn Belt in the
