New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) support critical ecosystem services including plant resource acquisition and productivity. AMF functional traits such as relative biomass investment in root vs soil colonization or drought tolerance are thought to be evolutionarily conserved within AMF lineages and might influence AMF community responses to ...

Multi‐Omics Insights Into Anthraquinone Biosynthesis in Rheum tanguticum
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rheum tanguticum is renowned for its medicinal properties, including purgative, anti‐inflammatory and hepatoprotective effects, primarily attributed to anthraquinones (AQs). However, the molecular mechanisms of AQs biosynthesis have largely been hindered by insufficient genomic resources and functional genomics investigations.

Soil microbiomes conditioned by long‐term warming affect plant belowground performance
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Soil microbial communities conditioned by long‐term warming affect the plant performance of Anthoxantum odoratum and Agrostis capillaris by reducing belowground biomass. Abstract Global change affects plant performance, both directly through warming and indirectly through changes in their biotic and abiotic surroundings.

Afforestation priority for multiple objectives at national scale: Italy as a case study
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Afforestation is increasingly recognized as a key strategy to address climate change and ecological degradation, offering multiple ecosystem services. However, strategic planning is needed to ensure that afforestation actions are ecologically effective and economically efficient by targeting areas where ecosystem service provision

Climate Controls on Carbon Dioxide Fluxes in a High‐Elevation Grassland
Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.Climate change is significantly influencing high‐elevation grasslands, possibly unbalancing CO2 exchanges and the sink‐source dynamics. Cumulated heat available for plant growth and vegetation cover were identified as the main controllers of phenological development and, via direct or mediated effects, of CO2 fluxes (ER and GPP).

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand
New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.
