The role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the competition between invasive and native plants depends on the soil nitrogen form

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2642-2656, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant invasion and nitrogen (N) deposition are escalating global change threats. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are increasingly recognized as critical mediators of plant invasion success, largely through their role in enhancing host nutrient acquisition.

Trade‐offs between soil biodiversity and agricultural expansion: Evidence from litter decomposition dynamics in Madagascar

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2560-2574, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Home‐Field Advantage (HFA) theory—positing that litter decomposes faster at its site of origin—allows us to disentangle the respective influences of litter quality, soil biota composition, and microclimate on shifts in litter decomposition following land use conversion.

Long‐term changes in functional diversity and its implications for mammalian conservation and ecological restoration in a grassland ecosystem

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2379-2391, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Paleontological data provide information on natural environments prior to human influence, which are useful for tracking changes in ecosystem functioning through time. During the Late Pleistocene, about 10% of terrestrial mammalian species were extinct in South America.

The loss of an Indigenous‐maintained She‐Oak woodland in southeast Australia

open access: yesGeographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2026.
A 2600‐year multi‐proxy palaeoecological record (pollen, charcoal, and sediment) from Balfour Swamp, east Gippsland, reveals the persistence of an open, grassy She‐Oak woodland maintained by GunaiKurnai. This vegetation community, resilient to climatic variability and fire, was lost following the disruption of Aboriginal land management and replaced by

Integrating Artificial Intelligence Into Drug Discovery From Medicinal Plants: Current Applications and Infrastructural Challenges

open access: yesChemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 108, Issue 2, August 2026.
This review presents a systems‐oriented roadmap for integrating artificial intelligence into medicinal plant drug discovery to overcome persistent bottlenecks like extract complexity. It highlights that advancing toward reproducible therapeutics requires making phytochemical datasets AI‐ready via rigorous harmonization and phyto‐centric foundational ...
