Abstract Coastal marshes are critical blue‐carbon ecosystems, yet regional quantification of vegetation‐derived carbon burial and living biomass carbon stocks within marshes remains limited. Here, we developed a transparent, measurement‐based framework integrating Sentinel‐2 data (2019–2024), field biomass measurements, marsh‐type distribution maps ...

Abstract Agrivoltaic grazing systems, or the integration of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy generation with livestock grazing, are the most common form of multi‐use solar energy in the United States and much of the world. However, there is a substantial gap in our understanding of the ecological impacts of combining PV and grazing in these novel ...

Abstract Mediterranean wetlands significantly influence terrestrial carbon storage but lack comprehensive, long‐term carbon flux measurements, particularly those that distinguish fluxes between vegetated and open‐water surfaces. Inundation‐based restoration primarily aims to arrest drainage‐driven soil‐carbon loss; whether a re‐flooded wetland also ...

Shrubs benefit from being functionally more conservative and distinct from neighbour trees
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Multi‐strata forests can enhance ecosystem functioning, with interactions between overstorey trees and understorey shrubs playing a pivotal role. However, how the structure and composition of neighbouring trees, together with shrub traits, influence shrub growth remains

Reduction of Tree Water Stress by Large Herbivores in an African Savanna
Using a long‐term herbivore exclusion experiment across a rainfall gradient, we found that excluding large mammals increased savanna tree growth but elevated water stress. Tree sensitivity to exclusion varied among species with contrasting water‐use strategies, indicating that physiological responses may drive shifts in tree communities under altered ...

ABSTRACT Weedy rice (Oryza spp.) provides a unique model for studying adaptive evolution because herbicide resistance can arise through both crop‐to‐weed gene flow and independent mutational events. In Brazil, nearly two decades of cultivation of imidazolinone (IMI)‐resistant rice have imposed intense selection for acetolactate synthase (ALS ...
