Ecological niches and biogeography of nitrogen‐fixing plants in Europe

open access: yesPlant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1349-1360, August 2026.
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 ...

The antioxidant role of low molecular metabolites and polyphenol oxidase of bryophytes in post-technogenic territories

open access: yesБіологічні студії
Background. The antioxidant system (AOS), which includes both high-molecular and low-molecular antioxidants, plays an important role in protecting plants from oxidative stress.

The role of catastrophic floods in shaping the morphology of river beds in small mountain catchment areas

open access: yesLeśne Prace Badawcze, 2017
Mountain streams are subjected to the continuous reshaping of their river beds during floods, with the greatest changes occurring during extreme floods caused by sudden and heavy rainfall.

Climate Change Predicted to Trigger an Upward Altitudinal Range Shift and Boost the Abundance of a Montane Rock Face Specialist, the Wallcreeper (Tichodroma muraria)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
The distributional range of the Wallcreeper in Switzerland is predicted to greatly expand with global warming, primarily due to expansion of suitable conditions during the winter. ABSTRACT Montane species are predicted to respond to climate change by moving upslope, particularly high elevation specialists with thermal niches adapted to cold ...

Pre‐industrial land‐use limits contemporary shrub encroachment in the French Alps

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Shrub encroachment has become a global phenomenon in recent decades. While global warming in the Arctic is often cited as the primary cause, human‐managed mountain regions have experienced intense historical land‐use that may also play a considerable role.

Busy Beavers: The Turbidity Signature of Ecosystem Engineers at Work

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 7, July 2026.
Conceptual model of the impacts of beaver wetlands on water turbidity. A: Stream reach without beaver modification. B: Stream reach following beaver modification in the form of dam construction and canal and burrow excavation (first two ponds in a cascade shown).

Pastoralist views and positions on coexistence with large carnivores. An overview from conflict areas across Europe

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2200-2211, July 2026.
Abstract While large carnivore expansion is a conservation success, it increasingly challenges pastoralism. Beyond economic value, pastoralism provides critical biodiversity and sociocultural benefits, recognized by the UN and the EU's ‘High Nature Value farming’ designation.

Aquatic vegetation in the Syra Pogonia massif, Rivnenskyi Nature Reserve (Polissia, Ukraine): classification and ecological specificity

open access: yesБіологічні студії
Background. Aquatic vegetation is a sensitive indicator of wetland ecosystem conditions, particularly peat bogs. In the Syra Pogonia protected area, vegetation reflects the effects of past anthropogenic impacts (land reclamation).

Regulating bark beetles with mechanical bark treatments: Trade‐offs among pest control, operational efficiency and biodiversity

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Three times harvester processing and motor‐manual bark gouging effectively reduce bark beetles, enabling two options: permanent on‐site retention for biodiversity conservation, or up to 2 years of intermediate on‐site storage with no treatment effect on blue‐stain fungi colonization or energy content, thereby buffering operational bottlenecks during ...
