Fine‐root trait variation in temperate trees follows arc‐shape pattern along deep soil profiles

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1101-1115, August 2026.
Root trait variation along the soil depth profile in four temperate tree species. Summary Roots are plants' interface with the soil, controlling access to water and nutrients. Yet, fine‐root trait variation along deep soil profiles and its functional implications remain poorly understood.

Employing a Hysteresis Approach to Analyze Shifts in Tree Physiological Thresholds in Response to Drought

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 4850-4871, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Drought‐induced tree mortality underscores the need for improved physiological models to predict tree responses to water stress. We employed a hysteresis modelling approach analyzing diel water absorption and desorption cycles to understand drought‐induced shifts in physiological thresholds.

A global review of mistletoe frugivory and seed dispersal: The plant perspective

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1303-1314, August 2026.
We reviewed studies on mistletoe frugivory and seed dispersal worldwide. Although mistletoes are relatively well studied, major taxonomic, geographic, and methodological gaps remain. We conclude that modern technologies offer new opportunities to address long‐standing but still poorly explored questions about these interactions.

Batteries From Reused, Recycled, and Surplus Materials

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 7, July 2026.
Batteries can become more circular by combining reuse, direct recycling, metallurgical recovery, and material sourcing from industrial surplus streams. This Review highlights how recycled and waste‐derived metals, carbons, polymers, electrolytes, and active materials can be reintegrated into current and emerging batteries, while emphasizing design ...

End‐of‐season corn stalk analysis as a tool to fine‐tune potassium and nitrogen management

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Corn (Zea mays L.) requires proper nutrient management for optimal growth, and tissue testing plays an important role in refining recommendations. Corn stalk nitrate test (CSNT) is used to evaluate nitrogen (N) management; however, a comparable plant‐based diagnostic tool for potassium (K) is lacking. This study evaluated extractants for stalk‐

Analysis of the Compound Impact of Antecedent Dry Spell and Rainstorm Events on Urban Surface Water Quality

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 5, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Urban runoff is a key factor in the deteriorating ecological state of urban water bodies. Longer dry spells followed by heavy rains (cascading event) are thought to aggravate water quality deterioration due to large flushes of accumulated contaminants from urban surfaces into water bodies.

Valorisation of brazilian pine-fruit shell residue (araucaria angustifolia) in the production of biopolyols

, 2016
The valorisation of agro-forestry residues, namely the ones which do not have commercial value, have attracted the interest of academia and industrials contributing to generate new alternatives in the eld of chemicals and materials. The purpose is not only promoting their reuse to generate value- added products, but also highlight the production of bio-
