Variation in mycorrhizal communities and the level of mycoheterotrophy in grassland and Forest populations of Neottia ovata (Orchidaceae)

Functional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 7, Page 1948-1961, July 2023., 2023
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Orchid mycorrhiza forms unique symbiotic associations between members of the Orchidaceae and multiple ecological guilds of fungi. Because orchids associate with a wide variety of fungi with different ecological functions, they represent an ideal study system to address ...

Environment regimes play an important role in structuring trait‐ and taxonomy‐based temporal beta diversity of riverine diatoms

Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 6, Page 1442-1454, June 2022., 2022
Our study provides a new perspective into temporal beta diversity of daily riverine diatom communities. The results highlight the importance of taxonomic and functional temporal beta diversity and its decomposition, which is co‐driven by hydrology, nutrient and metal ions. We provide further evidence that environment regimes (e.g.

Electronic Modulation of CoNi Nanoparticles by N‐Doped Carbon for Efficient Lignin Hydrogenolysis to Aromatic Monomers

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Cost‐effective and efficient non‐noble‐metal catalysts for selective lignin hydrogenolysis remain elusive, representing a significant challenge in biorefinery. Here, we prepared a nitrogen‐doped carbon supported CoNi bimetallic catalyst, which was successfully derived from zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) via high‐temperature pyrolysis ...

Fabricating Highly Efficient Ternary Mn–CeOx/Co3O4 Catalysts for Low Temperature Thermal Desorption of Persistent Perfluorooctanoic Acid in Soil

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Developing efficient catalytic thermal desorption systems is of great significance in the field of sustainable soil remediation. Herein, novel Mn–Ce solid solution modified Co3O4 nanocrystals were successfully prepared for the removal of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in soil.

Nitrogen Anchoring Effect Triggering Improved Reversible Hydrogen Storage of Mg(BH4)2

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This research uncovered the influence of nitrogen‐doped MXene Ti3CN on the reversible hydrogen storage properties of Mg(BH4)2. The Mg(BH4)2‐20Ti3CN composite began releasing hydrogen at a temperature of 80°C. In addition, the composite discharged over 8.8 wt% hydrogen at a comparatively lower temperature of 270°C, whereas the pure Mg(BH4)2 ...

High nitrogen enrichment buffers plant photosynthesis against herbivory damage

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 229-238, January 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivorous insects and nitrogen deposition are key drivers of ecosystem productivity under global change. However, their combined effects on plant photosynthesis, particularly during insect outbreaks, remain poorly understood in natural ecosystems.

Plant functional trait dissimilarity drives plant mixture effects on fine root biomass and trait variations

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 764-776, January 2026.
Summary Fine roots are critical for soil resource uptake, yet how declining plant diversity alters fine root biomass (RB) and traits remains unclear. We tested how plant functional trait dissimilarity in shade tolerance, drought tolerance, growth rate, and nitrogen‐fixation ability drives variation in root attributes.

Factors influencing fine roots decomposition rates in response to nitrogen addition vary across root characteristics

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3504-3516, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nitrogen (N) deposition strongly affects litter decomposition and nutrient release, thereby reshaping carbon cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Although most studies have focused on above‐ground litter, the effects of N addition on fine root decomposition and their ...

Altered nutrient cycling functionality in seagrass meadows under a simulated future marine heatwave event

New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 6, Page 2616-2629, September 2025.
Summary Seagrasses are important contributors to environmental nutrient cycling in marine ecosystems and can improve water quality by absorbing excess nitrogen (N). However, these ecosystems are vulnerable to human‐mediated pressures, including marine heatwaves (MHWs), particularly those of longer duration. We performed an experiment simulating a 30‐d,
