Detecting social‐ecological fit in Natura 2000 governance and management: Evidence from LIFE projects focused on forest protected habitat types

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2521-2540, August 2026.
Abstract Protected areas represent complex social‐ecological systems that require governance and management approaches that valorise and enhance positive relationships between people and nature. This study analyses the alignment between social and ecological systems to detect the social‐ecological fit of projects focused on biodiversity conservation ...

Redefining taxonomic boundaries of the genus Galtonia (Hyacinthaceae) and a new genus, Stellifloris, described

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Genera form the basis for higher taxonomic classification and should be easily recognizable, predictive, and stable, and should reflect the evolutionary history of their constituents, with monophyly as a key principle of modern classification.

Ecology of reintroduced Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep in Dinosaur National Monument La Ecología de Borrego Cimarron de las Montañas Rocosas Reintroducido en el Monumento Nacional de Dinosaurio

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 223, Issue 1, August 2026.
We synthesized GPS telemetry, genetic, and pathogen data to evaluate metapopulation processes in a reintroduced Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis) population in Dinosaur National Monument. We estimated subpopulation‐specific abundances and found 4 small subpopulations with high genetic diversity, partial connectivity, and ...

Spatial Heterogeneity and Nonlinear Influencing Mechanisms of Vegetation Carbon Sequestration Capacity in the Southwest China Karst Region

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Understanding of the spatiotemporal dynamics of vegetation carbon sequestration capacity (VCSC) in Southwest China's contiguous karst region is critical for regional carbon cycling. Using MOD17A3 data from 2001 to 2023, we analyzed spatial heterogeneity in vegetation net primary productivity (NPP) and applied Geodetector to evaluate nonlinear ...

Widespread Landslide Activity in an Extreme Wet Season and Implications for Regional Sediment Management, Eastern San Francisco Bay Area, California

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Watershed sediment production is expected to increase in a warmer future with more extreme rain, with cascading effects throughout drainage and sediment‐transport networks. This study investigated landscape‐scale sediment movement in the eastern San Francisco Bay area, California, USA, during the extreme 2016–2017 wet season that brought major

Nitrogen addition alters adaptive strategies of a dominant plant species in an alpine meadow via shifts in traits and trait coordination

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2657-2667, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nitrogen (N) deposition significantly impacts plant functional traits in alpine meadows, yet the adaptive strategies of dominant species remain unclear. Understanding these strategies is crucial for predicting alpine grassland vegetation changes and ecosystem ...

Integrating experimental and observational approaches facilitates scaling species interactions to biodiversity patterns

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2421-2435, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract To investigate how niche and fitness differences determine the outcome of species interactions and shape local biodiversity patterns, research has typically focused on either simplified experimental systems that test specific mechanisms or observational studies where ...
