Protistan Predators Outshine Fungi in Forest Soil Activity

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite extensive research on fungal communities in forest soils, our understanding of the whole eukaryotic diversity and distribution remains limited. Moreover, traditional amplicon sequencing methods often introduce severe PCR and primer biases, further hindering accurate assessment of the microbial community composition in forest soils.

So close yet so far: Movement patterns of livestock guarding dogs in a shared landscape in Romania

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April/June 2026.
We used GPS collars to track 36 livestock guarding dogs (LGDs) from 11 sheep flocks in the Romanian Carpathians to assess how closely they remained with their sheep and how often they roamed in a landscape shared with people and large carnivores. Overall, LGDs were attentive, typically staying within 100 m of sheep at night and 200 m during the day ...

Somatic Embryo Formation on Mature Abies alba × Abies cephalonica Zygotic Embryo Explants

Biologia plantarum, 2003
Somatic embryogenesis was achieved from mature embryos excised from stored hybrid Abies alba × Abies cephalonica seeds. Embryogenic tissue formation occurred on SH medium supplemented with 1 mg dm−3 benzyladenine. The formation of embryogenic tissue was influenced by the time of storage of seeds.

Why Size Does Not Matter: Sex Driven Home Range Differences in Brown Bears

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This is a novel anlaysis of unique dataset never find anywhere more than 60 collared free ranging brown bears movement data. ABSTRACT Sex, body size and environmental conditions are key determinants of home range size in large mammals, yet their relative importance within populations remains unclear for many wide‐ranging carnivores such as brown bears.

Artefacts Associated With Cryogenic Vacuum Distillation Do Not Compromise Plant Source Water Extraction From Soil and Xylem for Isotope Analysis

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 3, April/May 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the oxygen and hydrogen isotopic composition (δ18O and δ2H values, respectively) of plant source water is fundamental for tracing water uptake in ecohydrological studies. However, discrepancies between cryogenic vacuum distillation (CVD)‐extracted soil and xylem water and known plant source water δ18O and δ2H values continue to ...

Effect of soil waterlogging on below-ground biomass allometric relations in Norway spruce [PDF]

, 2010
An increasing importance is assigned to the estimation and verification of carbon stocks in forests. Forestry practice has several long-established and reliable methods for the assessment of aboveground biomass; however we still miss accurate predictors ...

Stomatal patchiness in conifers: experiments with Picea abies (L.) Karst. and Abies alba Mill.

Trees, 1994
Strong evidence for the occurrence of pronounced stomatal patchiness in needles of Picea abies (L.) Karst. and Abies alba Mill. was found using various indirect methods. Anatomical investigations revealed a septate leaf anatomy for both species, a phenomenon expected if a patchy distribution of stomatal aperture is present.
