Drivers of invertebrate community assembly during ecosystem restoration
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Ecosystems are complex multi‐trophic systems, and successful restoration needs to consider the mechanisms that underpin the reestablishment of biotic interactions. Critical to supporting this is improved understanding of the ecological processes that govern community assembly.

Robel Pole Method Can Estimate Cereal Rye Biomass to Optimize Termination Timing
Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2026.Abstract Fully realizing the benefits of cover crops and minimizing the yield penalty requires knowing when to terminate them. Cereal rye (Secale cereale L.) is the dominant cover crop used in the Midwest US, and previous work has shown that corn (Zea mays L.) yield penalties began to occur more frequently when cereal rye is at ∼1000 lb dry biomass ac ...

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Multispectral three‐dimensional (3D) imaging offers substantial potential for plant phenotyping, yet manual segmentation of plant organs remains a bottleneck in breeding programs. We developed a color‐based filtering workflow for faba bean (Vicia faba L.) point clouds that optimizes lower and upper thresholds of spectral indices and broadband ...

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2448-2466, October 2026.ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Design and Deployment of a Regulation‐Compliant Infrared Heating System for UK Field Trials
Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.ABSTRACT Free‐air warming systems are essential for simulating climate change in field conditions, yet most are not designed to meet UK or EU health and safety standards. We present the design and field deployment of a hexagonal temperature‐free air controlled enhancement (T‐FACE) system that meets UK and EU health and safety requirements for outdoor ...
