What controls forest litter decomposition? A coordinated distributed teabag experiment across ten mountains

Ecography, EarlyView.
Litter decomposition in mountainous forest ecosystems is an essential process that affects carbon and nutrient cycling. However, the contribution of litter decomposition to terrestrial ecosystems is difficult to estimate accurately because of the limited comparability of different studies and limited data on local microclimatic and non‐climatic factors.

Integrative taxonomy supports DNA barcoding in revealing an abundant cryptic species in the United States Coastal Plain

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
We present the most densely sampled phylogeny of Carex section Lupulinae to date (107 specimens) and describe herein a new cryptic species for science from the southern United States, which is locally abundant and found in well‐explored and densely populated areas. Combining DNA sequences with morphometric data obtained from 299 samples, we Demonstrate

The promise of digital herbarium specimens in large‐scale phenology research

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The online mobilization of herbaria has made tens of millions of specimens digitally available, revolutionizing investigations of phenology and plant responses to climate change. We identify two main themes associated with this growing body of research and highlight a selection of recent publications exemplifying: investigating phenology at ...

Specimen‐tailored ‘lived’ climate reveals precipitation onset and amount best predict specimen phenology, but only weakly predict estimated reproduction across a clade

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Herbarium specimens are widely distributed in space and time, thereby capturing diverse conditions. We reconstructed specimen ‘lived’ climate from knowledge of germination cues and collection dates for 14 annual species in the Streptanthus (s.l.) clade (Brassicaceae) to ask: which climate attributes best explain specimen phenological stage and ...

Isospin sum rules for the nonleptonic B decays

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
Isospin symmetry, as the most precise flavor symmetry, can be used to extract information about hadronic dynamics. The effective Hamiltonian for bottom quark weak decay is zero under the isospin lowering operators $$I_-^n$$ I - n , which allows us to ...

Provenance legacies override species effects in shaping oak rhizosphere microbiomes and metabolomes

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Graphical representation of experimental setup. Quercus spp. seeds were collected at two origins: upper Rhine basin (URB) and north German lowland (NGL). Summary As climate change drives more frequent drought‐heat extremes, selecting drought‐tolerant trees is crucial for future forest resilience. However, the role of tree–microbial associations remains

Multisite Field Evaluation of Oil Accumulation and Agronomic Performance in Grain and Sweet Sorghums Engineered for Lipid Hyperaccumulation

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oil sorghum (OS) has been developed by engineering grain (TX430) and sweet (Ramada) genetic backgrounds to accumulate triacylglycerols (TAG) in vegetative tissues as an energy‐dense feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and other biofuels. This study evaluated two TX430 OS lines (TxHO‐2, TxHO‐3) and two Ramada OS lines (RmHO‐1, RmHO‐2)

Not only reseeder or resprouter plants: Trait syndromes and post‐fire responses of three iconic Mediterranean woody species

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Post‐fire plant functional strategies of Mediterranean woody species can be less fixed than often thought when intraspecific variability of fire‐related traits is considered. Abstract Fire can profoundly affect ecosystem dynamics, species distribution and plant traits, especially in open biomes.

Ecological niches and biogeography of nitrogen‐fixing plants in Europe

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Despite sharing N fixation as a common trait, European legume and actinorhizal plant lineages occupy strikingly divergent ecological niches shaped by their evolutionary histories and physiological adaptations. Advanced symbiont control allows IRLC legumes to expand into northern, mesic regions, while non‐IRLC legumes are more common in Mediterranean ...
