Adjacent Forests Enhance Spontaneous Revegetation and Phylogenetic Similarity on Mountainous Roadside Slopes: Implications for Ecological Restoration and Forest Edge Management

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The native‐dominated vegetation on roadside slopes primarily originates from adjacent forests, with long‐distance dispersal traits enhancing spontaneous colonization in these disturbed environments. The species composition and phylogenetic similarity between slope and forest communities are significantly influenced by the adjacent forests (species ...

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Plant–Soil–Enzyme Interactions in Intertidal Wetlands

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study reveals that during the exposure period in the Shengjin Lake intertidal wetland, the temporal gradient serves as the primary driving force for changes in the plant–soil–enzyme system, followed by alkaline phosphatase activity, nitrate nitrogen, and pH.

Wing and Pappus Appendages Decrease Seed Terminal Velocity: A Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This meta‐analysis integrated terminal velocity records for 1479 species from various sources and explored descriptive patterns by taxonomic group, seed dispersal vector, and seed appendage type. This study revealed that wing and pappus appendage decrease seed terminal velocity with a robust analysis using regression models to predict terminal velocity.

Leaf Economics and Local Adaptation: Genetic and Plastic Responses Within Mediterranean Annual Species to Macro‐ and Microclimatic Aridity Gradients

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study examined how Mediterranean annual plants adjust leaf traits (SLA and LDMC) across rainfall gradients and microclimates, considering both genetic differentiation and plasticity under drought and competition. Contrary to expectations from the Leaf Economics Spectrum, populations from drier macroclimates evolved more acquisitive leaves (higher ...

Dynamics of Vegetation and Soil in Long‐Term Artificial Sand Control Projects in the Ulan Buh Desert

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study investigates the long‐term synergistic evolution of vegetation and soil in artificial sand‐control projects (using straw checkerboard barriers) in China's Ulan Buh Desert. By analyzing areas with different restoration times (0–15 years), it identifies ~10 years as a critical inflection point where plant communities mature into stable, near ...
