Aridity‐dependent regulation of water‐use efficiency by leaf vein traits across grassland communities

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2462-2474, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Water transport is a fundamental constraint on plant growth in arid regions. Leaf vein architecture regulates carbon assimilation and transpiration through leaf hydraulic conductance (Kleaf), thereby influencing ecosystem water‐use efficiency (WUE) via community‐level ...

Direct and indirect effects of elevated CO2, warming and drought on plant–consumer interactions of Plantago lanceolata

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.
Experimental treatments of warming, elevated CO2, drought and their interactions had direct and indirect (plant‐trait‐mediated) effects on field Plantago lanceolata consumption and feeding preferences of the locust Locusta migratoria. The effects largely differed between consumption types, despite being studied on the same species in the same system ...

Beyond temperature: The environmental constraints of high‐mountain microrefugia

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.
Cold spots in an alpine landscape often sit on poor, rocky, carbon‐low soils rather than well‐developed ground. As climate warms, alpine plants may find these cold refuges too harsh to colonize, since many depend on richer soils than nival and subnival species do.

Sanitation felling against the European spruce bark beetle: A matter of intensity and forest type Tagli fitosanitari contro il bostrico tipografo: una questione di intensità e tipologia forestale

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 382-397, August 2026.
We assess the effect of sanitation felling performed in 2022 in North‐Eastern Italy on bark beetle damage that occurred in 2023 across eight spruce forest types, as evaluated using multispectral satellite imagery. Bark beetle damage was reduced only at very high or very low sanitation felling rates.

Host plant use is driven by microclimate not nutritional quality in a grassland butterfly

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 690-702, August 2026.
Small Copper butterflies (Lycaena phlaeas) choose to lay eggs on host plants growing in warmer microclimates, despite lower nitrogen content. Bare ground created by European Moles increases host plant temperatures and weakens the negative relationship between nitrogen content and microclimatic warmth.

A review on true dung beetles' evolutionary and ecological responses to temperature and impacts on ecosystem functions

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 621-638, August 2026.
True dung beetles are a speciose group of ecosystem engineers that play key roles as detritivores in natural and agricultural landscapes. Scarabaeine beetles show strong thermal plasticity and there is increasing evidence of rapid evolutionary divergence in response to temperature across ecological and evolutionary timescales, with likely consequences ...

Pollination Under Pressure: Grazing and Nutrient Enrichment Reshape Arctic Pollinator Communities and Interaction Networks

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Grazing exclusion reshaped Arctic flower‐visitor communities, increased plant‐pollinator interactions, and altered interaction networks, while nutrient enrichment had weaker, context‐dependent effects. Together the two drivers produced both independent and interactive effects, with tundra grasslands showing the greatest sensitivity to environmental ...

Future Projections of Burned Area in Europe Highlight the Importance of Human Action

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our simulations with two fire models and the LPJmL Dynamic Global Vegetation Model show that both biophysical and socio‐economic drivers shape future wildfire activity in Europe. Fire weather and fire management capacity dominate broad trends, while changes in land use, vegetation and population density shape regional patterns. Improved fire management

Thermophilization: Concepts, Methods, and Implications of Changes in Community Composition due to Global Warming

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
As many species shift their geographic ranges coldward due to global warming, communities will undergo “thermophilization”—the increasing relative abundance of warm‐adapted (“thermophilic”) species and the concomitant decrease of cold‐adapted species over time.

Growth responses of an alpine grassland to elevated CO2

Oecologia, 1996
Alpine plant species have been shown to exhibit a more pronounced increase in leaf photosynthesis under elevated CO2 than lowland plants. In order to test whether this higher carbon fixation efficiency will translate into increased biomass production under CO2 enrichment we exposed plots of narrow alpine grassland (Swiss Central Alps, 2470 m) to ...
