Variation in Climate Shapes Seedling Recruitment Along Resource Gradients in a Northern Hardwood Forest

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
Seedling counts over 26 years revealed that wetter‐site temperate tree species struggle to recruit in warmer, drier years, whereas drier‐site species are more climate‐tolerant. Shadier forests buffered seedlings from heat and drought. Local soils and canopy cover strongly shaped outcomes, revealing considerable differences among species in climate ...

Early Physiological and Transcriptomic Responses of Container‐Grown Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L. ‘Sierra’) to Partial Substrate Replacement With Biochar

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Biochar has been widely investigated for its potential to improve substrate properties and plant performance, offering a potential partial replacement for peat in soilless cultivation amid declining peat availability. However, information on its short‐term physiological and molecular effects during the early establishment of container‐grown ...

Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2778-2813, June 2026.
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

The interplay between hydraulic capacitance and stomatal regulation strategy affects soil–plant hydraulics and transpiration

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2988-3000, June 2026.
Summary Plant water storage contributes to transpiration, but it is unclear how its relevance in supporting transpiration depends on the stringency of stomatal regulation. Here, we show the compounding effect of stomatal regulation and hydraulic capacitance on plant water use, by means of a soil–plant hydraulic model and measurements of leaf water ...

Similar Relative Carbon Costs for Construction and Storage of Sun and Shade Branches in Mature Temperate Trees

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 3351-3362, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Irradiance strongly affects the morphology, carbon (C) uptake and construction costs of leaves and branches. Within tree crowns, light decreases from the top downwards, but whether this translates to differences in the C balance of sun and shade branches remains unclear. Here, we combined a light‐driven photosynthesis model, parameterised with

Quantifying the Rapid Propagation of Rainfall and Evapotranspiration Signals Into Soils

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Precipitation and evapotranspiration are major drivers of soil moisture dynamics, which in turn influence plant water availability, biogeochemical reactions, and trace gas emissions. However, it has been unclear whether evapotranspiration signals propagate through soil columns differently than precipitation signals do.
