Relationship between ecosystem productivity and photosynthetically-active radiation for northern peatlands [PDF]

, 1998
We analyzed the relationship between net ecosystem exchange of carbon dioxide (NEE) and irradiance (as photosynthetic photon flux density or PPFD), using published and unpublished data that have been collected during midgrowing season for carbon balance ...

Variety in evolutionary strategies favours biodiversity in habitats of moderate productivity [PDF]

, 2011
The mechanism whereby biodiversity varies between habitats differing in productivity is a missing link between ecological and evolutionary theory with vital implications for biodiversity conservation, management and the assessment of ecosystem services ...

An Analysis of Vegetation and Microbiome Recovery in Abandoned Agricultural Fields

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study investigated the natural recovery of biodiversity in formerly cultivated fields in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, by comparing plant and bacterial communities across different successional ages. We found that diversity levels in old fields began to resemble natural conditions for both community types, indicating a positive recovery ...

Longer thaw seasons increase nitrogen availability for leaching during fall in tundra soils [PDF]

, 2016
Climate change has resulted in warmer soil temperatures, earlier spring thaw and later fall freeze-up, resulting in warmer soil temperatures and thawing of permafrost in tundra regions.

The Role of Leaf Wettability and Morphology on Leaf Surface Water Storage: A Cross‐Biome Synthesis

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 1, January‐February 2026.
ABSTRACT The presence of water on leaves impacts plant function and ecosystem fluxes by supplementing moisture, reducing evapotranspirational demand and encouraging pathogen spread. Maximum phytoelement water storage capacity (MWSC)—the maximum amount of water that can be held on the surface of the leaf‐ is an important but poorly constrained parameter

Decoupling of alpine wetland degradation and regional development

Ecological Indicators
Wetland is the core functional system of the global alpine region. However, with the development of the social economy in the past few decades, the alpine wetland ecosystem has suffered serious shrinkage, drying, degradation and landscape fragmentation ...

How the small host the small: cryptogam trait‐mediated structuring of Antarctic microarthropod communities

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Primary producers shape terrestrial biodiversity, but most research has focused on vascular plants, while the role of cryptogams (mosses, lichens and algae) remains under‐explored. Cryptogams dominate Antarctic vegetation and support diverse microarthropod communities. However, how cryptogam traits influence these communities remains poorly understood.

Rare and Vulnerable: Mires of the Western Alps Are Changing Rapidly Under Climate Pressures

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 29, Issue 1, January/March 2026.
Resurveys of Sphagnum‐dominated mires in the Western Alps revealed marked vegetation changes over 12‐ and 25‐year periods. Observed patterns include increased species richness, woody plant encroachment, and declines in mire specialists, indicative of the progressive drying.
