Comparing the development of naturally colonised and planted temperate forests across a 60‐year chronosequence

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 10, October 2026.
During forest creation in temperate, agriculturally dominated systems, tree planting accumulates above‐ground biomass more quickly than natural colonisation, whereas naturally colonised forests are more open and structurally heterogeneous. Differences in above‐ground biomass persist for decades where differences in structural heterogeneity reduce with ...

Multifactorial diagnosis of drought‐induced decline in Mediterranean conifer forests

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 10, October 2026.
A multi‐proxy approach integrating radial growth, leaf morphology, stable isotopes, elemental composition and soil properties revealed interacting mechanisms underlying drought‐induced dieback in Mediterranean pine populations. Declining trees showed stronger drought impacts on growth, altered stomatal regulation, nutrient imbalances and accelerated ...

‘More Beastliness Than Beauty’: Gendering Pica in Seventeenth‐Century English Medicine and Culture

Gender &History, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 752-764, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Today, defined as the ‘persistent eating of non‐nutritive substances’, pica is a lesser‐known eating disorder with a long history. Defined in early modern England as the ‘desire to eat absurd things’, pica was explicitly gendered, associated with pregnant women and pubescent girls.

The Material Basis of 18th‐Century Meissen Porcelain

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 908-918, October 2026.
ABSTRACT In the summer of 1708, the quest for making hard‐paste porcelain from Saxonian clay and other mineral resources succeeded. This was achieved by applying as its essential ingredient newly discovered pure kaolin from Heidelsberg near Aue, western Saxon Ore Mountains.

Vegetation Diversity of Trampled Habitats in the Transcaucasian Region: Comparison of Classifications

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, October/December 2026.
The first comprehensive survey of trampled vegetation in the phytosociologically understudied region of Transcaucasia revealed concordance between expert‐based and numerical classifications, consistently identifying both widespread and region‐specific community types. The relationships of Transcaucasian communities to European vegetation units are also

Changing climates and environments within the complex Middle to Late Pleistocene fill of an overdeepened valley at Niederweningen, Switzerland

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 964-992, October 2026.
Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...

Single‐grain K‐feldspar luminescence dating on primary and re‐deposited aeolian sediments in Mongolia

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 1187-1207, October 2026.
Owing to its location in the semi‐arid region of northern Central Asia, Mongolia is highly sensitive to climate change and therefore provides an excellent setting for palaeoenvironmental research. Proxy data from different sediment types are crucial for interpreting past climate changes and landscape evolution, while burial ages provide chronological ...

Changes in land‐snail communities and steppe environments in the lower Rhône valley during the Lateglacial–Holocene transition

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 1160-1186, October 2026.
Land snail successions in the lower Rhône valley allow us to reconstruct the postglacial recolonization. From the Lateglacial period onwards, Mediterranean steppe communities appeared. The arrival of forest taxa was significantly delayed by aridity. The question of glacial refugia, both local and distant, primarily concerned Mediterranean species of ...

From Reactive Remediation to Predictive Prevention: A Systems Synthesis of Global Soil Salinization and Sodicity

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
Salty soils are spreading across the world's farmland, often building up unnoticed for years before crop yields fall sharply and repair becomes slow and costly. Our review shows that this damage comes from linked problems in soil chemistry, water management, and policy, so fixing any one of them alone rarely works.
