Conservative roots confer a larger microbial carbon pump efficacy than acquisitive roots by regulating microbial life‐history strategy

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Root activity creates unique microbial hotspots in the rhizosphere by influencing the metabolic activities of surrounding soil microorganisms, profoundly regulating the dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC). However, how root economic strategies affect the formation and

Structured machine learning modeling to support conservation of deep‐sea benthic biodiversity

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim).

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.

Wings of Change: Motivations, Challenges, and Environmental Concerns Among Birdwatchers 变革之翼:观鸟者的动机、挑战与环境关切

Wildlife Letters, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 83-93, June 2026.
Birdwatching in Nepal has high potential to support avain biodiversity and tourism. Conservation was identified as the primary motivation for birdwatching, followed by enjoyment and achievement purposes. Health/wellbeing benefits, social and economic factors showed moderate representation, whereas academic motivation played a relatively minor role ...

Community Assembly Mechanism of Woody Plants at Different Successional Stages in Karst Areas Based on Functional Traits and Phylogeny

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study reveals a shift in woody plant community assembly from competitive exclusion in early succession to habitat filtering in later stages within karst areas. Environmental distance (80.54%) contributed significantly more than geographical distance (9.95%), providing strong quantitative evidence that niche processes, particularly habitat ...

Machine Learning Model for an App‐Based Tool to Assist With the Diagnosis of Canine Atopic Dermatitis

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 236-246, April 2026.
Canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) is a chronic condition requiring life‐long management. Accurate diagnosis can be challenging, with no reliable diagnostic test. This study aimed to generate a simple diagnostic model for cAD. This model is a relevant prototype for an app‐based tool to support general practitioners in the diagnosis of cAD alongside ...

Inversion of Net Photosynthetic Rate in Winter Rapeseed Based on UAV Multispectral Vegetation Indices and Texture Features

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Net photosynthetic rate (Pn) serves as a key indicator for evaluating plant growth and yield. In order to explore an effective method for monitoring winter rapeseed Pn using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) multispectral technology, the winter rapeseed was taken as the research object and the multispectral images were obtained through UAVs in ...

Trait‐Based Prediction of Extinction Risk and Conservation Strategy for Traditional Chinese Medicinal Plants in China 基于性状的中药植物灭绝风险预测与保护策略研究

Integrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 150-163, March 2026.
Our research allows us to understand the predictors of extinction risk in traditional Chinese medicinal (TCM) plant species with known threat status, and incorporate this knowledge to predict other TCM plants with unknown conservation status in China so as to improve the overall effectiveness of conservation strategies.

Mycorrhiza‐induced alterations in the spatial structure of stands in a subtropical forest

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 668-678, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Spatial aggregation patterns represent snapshots of ecological processes that occurred over an extensive period. Such processes can shape both the conspecific and the heterospecific spatial structure of plants across woody habitats.
