Cation responses to global changes alter ecological processes in ombrotrophic systems

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
Ombrotrophic bogs, which store large amounts of carbon as peat, receive all their mineral nutrition through deposition, making them particularly sensitive to cation‐displacing global changes. Here, we review the limited yet compelling evidence that cation availability is a key determinant of ecological processes across scales of ecological organisation

Understanding barriers to upscaling ecosystem restoration: evidence from restoration projects

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 5, July 2026.
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.

Benthic Biodiversity in Subarctic Stream Networks: Headwaters as Upholders of Variation Through Space and Time

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Headwaters often contribute disproportionately to network‐scale benthic biodiversity as differences in community composition between separate headwater streams (β‐diversity) can be high although local (α) diversity may be low. Most research on stream β‐diversity has adopted a spatial perspective, whereas temporal β‐diversity remains largely ...

Determinants of Soil Microarthropod Community Biodiversity in the Svalbard High Arctic: Locality or Vegetation Community?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Arctic ecosystems like Svalbard are rapidly changing, yet soil microarthropods remain difficult to monitor due to limited baseline data and demanding field and identification work. Using 172 soil samples from 33 localities, we tested whether vegetation maps could serve as proxies for soil microarthropod communities.

Habitat‐Driven Sexual Dimorphism in Triplophysa strauchii Between Oxbow Lake and Stream: A Geometric Morphometric Analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The combined effects of sexual selection and natural selection give rise to sexual dimorphism in operculum and eye morphology of T. strauchii across the two river basins. And our study reveal the fine‐scale responses of fish sexual dimorphism to diverse selective forces.

Reducing Spatial Bias at Heterogeneous Sites: A Novel Eddy Covariance Filtering Approach Integrating Footprint Modeling and Remote Sensing

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Eddy covariance (EC) measurements of net ecosystem exchange (NEE) over sites with multiple land cover classes may suffer from significant uncertainty due to heterogeneity in biological source/sink distribution and flux footprint variation, masking the “true” signal of the target system.

The carbon balance of an alpine peatland in Northern Italy

, 2015
It is well known that peatlands store a vast amount of carbon in their soil and that with the ever-changing climate the stability of these carbon pools is under threat. But peatlands in high altitude regions are studied far less than peatlands in high latitude regions.

Advancing species-level vegetation mapping of alpine peat bogs using UAV imagery, machine learning and texture features

Frontiers in Plant Science
Alpine peat bogs are valuable, highly heterogeneous wetland ecosystems with specialized and often rare species, where spatial variation in species composition reflects fine-scale hydrological and ecological gradients.

Carbon Storage in Alpine Mires: A Case Study From Platzertal (Austria)

Mires and Peat
Alpine peatlands play a crucial role in mountain watershed functions and services while supporting high biodiversity. Their reliance on cool and humid conditions makes them particularly vulnerable to climate change, including rising temperatures and ...

Animal board invited review: A biocultural perspective of animal farming systems in Europe

Animal
Europe’s landscapes have evolved through the intricate interplay of natural processes and human activities, one of which is animal farming; thus, historically creating biocultural landscapes rich in biological and cultural diversity.
