Climate‐Resilient Agriculture Practices for Enhancing Resilient Practices and Food Systems in Dry Regions

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Dry regions are primarily inhabited by smallholder farmers who have limited capacity to enhance agricultural productivity, particularly in crop production. These areas are characterized by low and erratic rainfall that does not support crops to maturity.

Fungi rather than bacteria explain home‐field advantage for decomposition of litter carbon fractions

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 405-416, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The home‐field advantage (HFA) hypothesis proposes that specific interactions between litter and microbial communities can accelerate litter mass loss in home habitats relative to away habitats.

Local species‐specific effect of trees and shrubs on the incidence of the millet head miner, Heliocheilus albipunctella (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae)

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 38-48, February 2026.
Abstract Understanding the interactions between crop pests, natural enemies and semi‐natural habitats in agricultural landscapes is crucial for developing ecology‐based pest management in agroecosystems. In the present study, we investigated the local‐scale species‐specific effect of tree and shrub cover and diversity on the incidence and natural pest ...

Changes in Key Biodiversity Area networks following national comprehensive assessments

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Making comprehensive assessments of Key Biodiversity Area (KBA) networks in a country greatly increases their number and area. Countries that have not yet done so will be missing about half of these globally significant sites and missing the opportunity to get 30 × 30 conservation in the right places. Abstract Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are sites of

Mapping area of habitat for inland wetland species

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Area of habitat (AOH) maps provide a high‐resolution representation of the habitat available in a species’ range and can support conservation policy and planning processes. However, until recently, there was insufficient knowledge on the distribution of inland wetlands and freshwater biodiversity to develop AOH mapping methods specifically ...

The construction of biodiversity in conservation policy discourse: A multiscalar analysis

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
This article examines how biodiversity is constructed in conservation policy discourses globally and in biodiversity priority countries, using Africa and Zambia as a case study, through critical discourse analysis and critical insights from political ecology.

Host Status of Brazilian Native Tree Species to Root‐Knot Nematodes

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Root‐knot nematodes (RKN, Meloidogyne spp.) are among the most important plant pathogenic organisms, causing significant damage, with a wide geographical distribution and being difficult to control. The ability of these nematodes to parasitize native trees from Brazilian biomes is little understood.

Quantifying the Spatial Footprint of Agriculture‐Driven Edge Effects in a Global Deforestation Hotspot

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.
Tropical dry forests face increasing pressure from agricultural expansion, but how this expansion impacts on remaining forests is unclear. We quantified and mapped agricultural edge effects on tree cover, shrub cover, and above‐ground biomass in the Argentine Chaco, a global deforestation hotspot.
