Matchmaking: a meta‐analysis of plant growth‐promoting microbial partnerships driving tree seedling performance in the Atlantic Forest biome

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The Brazilian Atlantic Forest (BAF) is a biodiversity hotspot, and inoculating native seedlings with plant growth‐promoting microorganisms (PGPMs) may enhance seedling vigor for forest restoration. Objectives We performed a meta‐analysis to evaluate the effects of PGPMs on BAF seedlings and identify strategies to optimize ...

Impacts of reclamation approaches on plant establishment in an arid environment during copper mine revegetation

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Revegetation using native vegetation is a commonly used technique to reclaim landscapes degraded by mining activities. Revegetation efforts in the arid Southwestern United States face physical, geochemical, hydrological, and biological challenges unique to drylands.

THE INTEGRATION OF AMF INOCULANTS, GREEN MANURE AND ORGANO-MINERAL FERTILIZATION, IN BANANA PLANTATIONS ON CALCIC HAPLIC PHAEOZEMS

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2020
Background. Banana plants require large amounts of nutrients but fertilizer price is restrictive for many farmers, so it is important to develop technologies that support the productivity of banana crops relying on local nutrient sources by enhancing ...

Plant and soil biodiversity reveals past and potential future states of naturally regenerating and planted native forests

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Forest restoration can be achieved by promoting natural regeneration or planting tree seedlings, but the relative benefits of these widely used approaches are questioned. Soil communities may influence restoration outcomes but are usually ignored by monitoring schemes.

Impact of Fire and Heat Stress on Soil Microorganisms: A Review of Community Changes, Molecular Responses and Plant‐Beneficial Roles

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
This work reviewed the direct and indirect effects of fires on microbial communities and the resilience strategies microbes use to withstand high temperatures . ABSTRACT Fire, whether occurring on the surface or underground, significantly influences soil microbial dynamics by reshaping community composition, functional diversity and overall soil and ...

Comparative Analysis of Lavandula Dentata Rhizosphere Microbiota Across Different Developmental Stages in a Semi‐Arid Area

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study aims to give deeper insight into the relationship between the dynamics of the rhizospheric microbiota and the developmental stages of L. dentata growing spontaneously in a semi‐arid environment. To achieve this objective, we examined and monitored the biomass (using phospholipid fatty acid, PLFA analysis), diversity and network complexity of

Ecological predictors of plant responses to sequential herbivory: a meta‐analysis

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 1128-1140, April 2026.
Summary Plants evolved alongside herbivores for over 400 million years and show remarkable plasticity in responses to attack by multiple herbivores. However, it is often debated which herbivore traits predict plant responses and it is poorly understood how plant life‐history traits contribute to the variation observed in plant responses.

Fungal ecology in the age of 'omics

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 822-833, April 2026.
Summary The advancement of technology in recent decades has given us an unprecedented ability to observe the natural world. With modern sequencing and bioinformatics technologies, we can obtain more information about the microscopic world, and its interactions with the macroscopic world, than ever before.

Reconciling links between diversity and population stability across global plant communities

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 154-165, April 2026.
Summary Maintaining ecological stability is essential for sustaining ecosystem functions and the benefits they provide to society. Ecological theory predicts that plant diversity destabilizes local populations, yet empirical studies report variable effects.

Differences in mycelial turnover and persistence of wood‐decay fungi at the microscale

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 577-590, April 2026.
Summary How long do fungal hyphae persist in the environment? And how does this differ between groups and species of fungi? Despite growing knowledge of fungal contributions to decomposition and soil carbon cycles, surprisingly little is known about the turnover of mycelia: What happens to fungal hyphae over time? And how this impacts different fungi's
