Great Slave Lake as a Key Modulator of Dissolved Organic Carbon Fluxes From Boreal Landscapes to the Mackenzie River

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Understanding dissolved organic carbon (DOC) fluxes in boreal freshwater systems is critical for constraining high‐latitude carbon budgets and anticipating climate‐driven changes. Here, we present a retrospective assessment (2000–2024) of DOC fluxes in the Upper Mackenzie River watershed, focusing on Great Slave Lake (GSL), a key hydrological ...

Cross‐realm incidental and cobenefits in freshwater and terrestrial biodiversity conservation planning

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Single‐realm planning can yield cross‐realm cobenefits, demonstrating strong potential for integrated conservation strategies. Integrating these cobenefits into cross‐realm planning is key to advancing the ‘30 × 30’ biodiversity targets. Abstract Freshwater species face greater threats than terrestrial ones; however, conservation efforts for freshwater

Independent pathways of soil and vegetation govern soil organic carbon under grazing in alpine wetlands: Implications for restoration of a critical carbon sink

Global Ecology and Conservation
Restoring degraded alpine wetlands is critical for reviving their role as vital carbon sinks. These ecosystems, historically used as pasturelands, have suffered significant functional decline.

Assessment of Heavy Metals Pollution in Selected Alpine Wetlands of Lesotho

The catchments that contain ecologically critical wetlands supplying the Mohale and Polihali dams under the Lesotho Highlands Water Project (LHWP) are increasingly threatened by expanding agriculture, mining activities, and uncontrolled livestock grazing.

Under fire and heat: Managing mountain grasslands in a hotter world

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our findings suggest that, although plant community composition appeared resistant to direct warming, warming increased biomass, with potential implications for fuel accumulation and fire severity. Differences in biomass and vegetation among fire frequencies mediated the effects of warming on near‐surface microclimate, including soil and surface ...

Do ecosystem types tell the full biodiversity story? Potentials of ecosystem types as indicators of plant species richness

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our study demonstrates that the commonness and red‐list status of ecosystem types can be informative of biodiversity measures in terms of species richness at selected spatial scales. The scale‐dependence of these indicators and the inverse relationship between red‐list status and commonness illustrate that conservation strategies must consider several ...

Beyond species loss: Community reshuffling shapes biodiversity along the urban–rural gradient

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our results indicate that species turnover is a general ecological mechanism shaping vertebrate communities along the urban gradient, driven by taxon‐ and species‐specific responses to environmental and spatial features. Community differences primarily reflect habitat suitability rather than dispersal limitation, highlighting the potential of targeted ...

Alpine wetlands degradation leads to soil nutrient imbalances that affect plant growth and microbial diversity

Communications Earth & Environment
Alpine wetlands degrade rapidly due to climate change and human activities. Studying degradation effects on flora, soil, and microbes, and their mechanisms, can aid wetland management and global carbon dynamic insights.

Scenarios and strategies for future‐proofing ecosystem management under climatic novelty

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Climate change is driving unprecedented declines in dominant, habitat‐forming foundation species across marine and terrestrial ecosystems globally. As climatic novelty becomes the norm, ecosystem reassembly will become increasingly common. Predicting and understanding these transitions, and their implications for future ecosystem functioning ...
