Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Global change and associated disturbances are increasing the risk of regeneration failure for tree species in temperate forests. Seedlings are particularly vulnerable to water stress due to their shallow root systems, making below‐ground plasticity a potentially key ...

Impact of harvest intensity on ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic fungal communities in forest soils
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Low‐intensity tree harvesting has been proposed as a sustainable forest management practice to balance and preserve forest productivity, carbon storage and resilience to climate extremes. Soil fungi play a central role in driving tree performance and soil carbon storage,

Apex predators exploit advantageous snow conditions across hunting modes
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Advantageous snow conditions—in terms of snow depth and density—are among the most important features of the winter landscape for two apex predators, regardless of hunting strategy. In a warming climate, the knock‐on effects of a diminishing snowpack may reduce the hunting success of multiple large carnivore species.

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.

Understanding natal emigration in group‐living carnivores
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Dispersal is a key ecological and evolutionary process, yet drivers of variation in emigration under human‐modified conditions remain understudied. Using a novel genetic approach applied to harvested grey wolves in Idaho, USA, we found that prey availability and population density shape natal emigration patterns in a cooperative breeder.

Elements on the move: How ungulate migration expands Alpine biogeochemical footprints
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Using a spatially explicit model parameterized with GPS telemetry, we show that migratory and resident red deer play distinct roles in nitrogen redistribution across alpine landscapes. Migrants uniquely transport nitrogen upslope and up elevation, linking ecosystem element pools and revealing how the loss of migration alters large‐scale ecosystem ...
