A protracted phenology: Post‐diapause larval development of a threatened butterfly

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Larval survival during diapause was high; hibernaculum webs were mostly located near Succisa pratensis plants, which often retained vital leaves through winter. Post‐diapause developmental time varied strongly depending on exposure to different microclimates, being reduced by litter cover, solar radiation and a higher heat load index.

Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials Sträucher und Bäume als natürlicher Insektenschutz für Weidetiere in der Schweiz und im Alpenraum: Eine systematische Literaturübersicht über in vitro‐, in vivo‐ und klinische Studien

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

The promise of digital herbarium specimens in large‐scale phenology research

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The online mobilization of herbaria has made tens of millions of specimens digitally available, revolutionizing investigations of phenology and plant responses to climate change. We identify two main themes associated with this growing body of research and highlight a selection of recent publications exemplifying: investigating phenology at ...

Increased arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal biomass and diversity in soil under long‐term climate drying and warming

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 ...

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.

Understanding barriers to upscaling ecosystem restoration: evidence from restoration projects

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
International policy efforts championing ecosystem restoration are underway in response to human‐induced ecosystem degradation. At the national scale, Norway is attempting to integrate restoration as a key policy target into its environmental governance and policy frameworks.

Characterizing and Detecting Multiscenario Degradation of the Maidika Alpine Wetland Nature Reserve in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau Using Landsat Time Series

Journal of Remote Sensing
Monitoring alpine wetland degradation on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau is crucial for understanding the responses to and resilience against climate change but has been challenging due to limited images in cloudy high-mountain areas.

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).

The (Im)possibilities of Repopulation: How Supply‐Side Factors Hinder the Revitalisation of Vacant Houses in Rural Mountain Regions

The Geographical Journal, Volume 192, Issue 2, June 2026.
Short Abstract Industrialisation has reshaped European rural areas, leading to both depopulation and, in some cases, lifestyle‐driven repopulation. Our research highlights supply‐side barriers to Alpine repopulation by unpacking the impossibilities of vacant farmhouses revitalisation. Both land transfer traditions ingrained over generation (micro‐level

Frost Tolerance Increases With Plant Height Among Co‐Occurring Alpine Species in the Central Tibetan Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Frost tolerance (LT50) varies greatly among species coexisting in an alpine community. Taller plants are more frost‐tolerant, reversing the expected intra‐community pattern. Evidence for a frost survival trade‐off: avoidance in short plants vs. tolerance in tall plants.
