Soil functions are amplified along increasing planting densities via nutrient trade‐off driven by rhizobacteria in drought‐prone environment

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 360-373, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract It is unclear how plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) affect soil multifunctionality (SMF) and production function (SPF) along planting densities. To address this issue, Bacillus licheniformis (PGPR) was inoculated in maize fields with five planting densities ...

Soil extracellular enzymes drive soil carbon accumulation under elevated CO2

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 347-359, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐driven increases in atmospheric CO2 (eCO2) are stimulating plant growth, thereby increasing the input of plant‐derived carbon into soils. The fate of this additional carbon depends on the capacity of soil microbiomes to decompose and transform organic matter, a ...

The role of tropical forest fragment vegetation in maintaining arthropod diversity and spillover to adjacent sugarcane fields O papel da vegetação de fragmentos de floresta tropical na manutenção da diversidade de artrópodes e na sua disseminação para campos de cana‐de‐açúcar adjacentes

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 82-93, February 2026.
Tree diversity increases arthropod richness and the abundance of beneficial arthropod groups within Atlantic Forest fragments. Higher insect richness in forest fragments is associated with greater richness in adjacent sugarcane fields, and both habitats share insect families, suggesting spillover.

Multiple Key Hosts and Network Structure Shape Viral Prevalence Across Multispecies Communities of Bees

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study develops a quantitative framework that integrates field data, epidemiological models, simulations, and Bayesian inference to identify key viral hosts in multispecies bee communities. By estimating species‐specific R0 values from flower‐visitor networks and viral screening, we show that honeybees, as well as other wild bees, can drive the ...

From Local Biodiversity to Global Food Security: Antioxidant Evidence of Unconventional Edible Plants (2020–2025)

open access: yesJournal of Food Process Engineering, Volume 49, Issue 2, February 2026.
This scoping review (2020–2025) compiles validated evidence on the antioxidant potential of unconventional edible plants (PANCs). Thirty species showed high phenolic content and strong radical‐scavenging activity, reinforcing their role as natural antioxidants and sustainable alternatives to synthetic additives within biodiversity‐based food systems ...

Trap Cropping to Maximize Agricultural Yield: Balancing Land Allocation Trade‐Offs Between Main Crop Production and Effective Pest Management

open access: yesNatural Resource Modeling, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Trap cropping is a pest management strategy where a grower plants an attractive “trap crop” alongside the primary crop to divert pests away from it. We propose a simple framework for optimizing the proportion of a grower's field or greenhouse allocated to a main crop and a trap crop to maximize agricultural yield.
