Screening of Native Plant Species in the Artisanal Gold Mining Sites of Doko, Guinea: Perspectives for Phytoremediation

CLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 54, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study focuses on phytoremediation in a gold mining‐contaminated area in Doko, Guinea. Plant, soil, and rhizospheric soil samples were collected and subjected to physicochemical analyses to quantify heavy metal content. Biological indicators: bioconcentration factor (BCF), translocation factor (TF), and biological accumulation coefficient (BAC ...

Influence of Geomorphic Disturbance on Phenotypic Species Plasticity and Vegetation Cover in High‐Elevated Belts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Climate change increases geomorphological disturbances, which in turn affect vegetation establishment in high‐elevation areas; understanding species' responses to such disturbances is essential. We analysed vegetation across disturbed and undisturbed alpine sites to identify environmental drivers and assess species trait plasticity.

Century‐long trends in plant diversity of temperate mountain vegetation are modulated along elevation gradient

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
Resurvey studies in mountain forests of the Tatra Mountains (Central Europe) show that plant diversity has increased over the past century, particularly at lower elevations. These shifts were associated more with increased nitrogen deposition and reduced grazing pressure than with direct climate warming.

Effects of Ungulate Herbivores on Temperate Forest Understory Vegetation—Implications From a Large‐Scale Wildlife Exclosure Experiment in Central Europe

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Fenced ungulate exclosure (foreground) with unfenced control plot (background). ABSTRACT Question Ungulates play a key role in influencing understory vegetation and ecosystem dynamics in temperate forests. However, how soil conditions modulate ungulate effects on understory communities remains insufficiently understood.

Vegetation of Akkerendam Nature Reserve, Northern Cape: Delineation and dynamics over 100 years

Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 2019
Background: Akkerendam Nature Reserve is the second oldest proclaimed municipal nature reserve in the Northern Cape, yet to date no vegetation map has been produced. The possible expansion of the reserve is under consideration.

Using recommender systems to analyze and predict plant communities from partial assemblages

Ecological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Safeguarding biodiversity requires a detailed understanding of the biosphere, especially regarding the distribution and state of habitats. Citizen science data offer a rich source of useful information, but they usually only contain partial records of species assemblages, as predominantly opportunistic observations of individual species are ...

Playground tree diversity: A driver of well‐being in preschool children

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 486-503, February 2026.
Abstract Urban greenspaces benefit mental health in adults, with increasing evidence that biodiversity might also play a role. However, we know very little about the impact of urban biodiversity on preschool children's well‐being, despite the critical importance of the formative years.

Biological corridors are crucial habitat features that boost biodiversity in agroecological systems of Argentina

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
Our work shows for the first time in the region that biological corridors increase biodiversity and promote interactions between different components of the production system, using a methodology never before used in Argentina such as the Griffon index.
