Impact of reintroduced elaphure on soil carbon storage in eastern Jiangsu Province, China

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The reintroduction in the wild of elaphure or Père David's deer (Elaphurus davidianus) in a coastal wetland in Dafeng, Jiangsu Province, in the absence of an apex predator has been shown to negatively impact the ecosystem through overgrazing, which, over time, can also degrade the soil's ability to sequester atmospheric carbon ...

Shore Protection Effect of Vegetation on the Yangtze River Bank Slopes Under a Complex Erosion Environment

Applied Sciences
In response to the complex erosion environment caused by periodic water level fluctuations, dry–wet cycles, and long-term water flow scouring on the Yangtze River bank, three typical soil-fixing and bank-protecting plants, Cynodon dactylon, Carex ...

UAV‐based RGB and multispectral vegetation indices as alternatives to light box‐derived dark green color index for turfgrass color assessment

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Traditionally, turfgrass color has been assessed through visual ratings or light box‐based digital image analysis, methods that are either subjective or labor‐intensive. In this study, we evaluated the potential of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)‐based multispectral and red‐green‐blue (RGB) imagery as a high‐throughput alternative for capturing ...

Evaluating soil amendments for establishment of centipedegrass sod

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Soil amendments are frequently incorporated prior to turfgrass sod installation to improve rooting and establishment; however, these materials represent a substantial cost to contractors, sod producers, and homeowners. Despite the widespread use of compost, topsoil, and sand, limited information exists on whether these amendments provide ...

Complete Chloroplast Genome of Indonesian Sugarcane (Saccharum ‘Bululawang’): Comparative, Structural, and Evolutionary Analysis of Photosystem I‐Encoding Genes

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Sugarcane is one of the most important crops, providing the majority of global sugar production and serving as a major feedstock for bioenergy. Increasing demands for sustainable sugar production under climate and productivity constraint have intensified the need for molecular‐level characterization of elite cultivars.

Species Turnover and Environmental Filtering Structure Plant Communities in Moist Temperate Forests

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Plant biodiversity in moist temperate mountain forests is strongly structured by elevational and edaphic gradients that drive community differentiation over short spatial scales. Using integrated vegetation classification, diversity partitioning, and multivariate analyses, we show that species turnover, rather than nestedness, dominates beta diversity,

Reciprocal relations shape cultural landscapes: Women's environmental stewardship in Ait Bouguemez (High Atlas, Morocco)

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2847-2865, August 2026.
Abstract Mountain social–ecological systems encompass steep ecological gradients and diverse cultural practices, yet the relative roles of these factors in shaping mountain landscapes remain underexplored. In particular, the knowledge and practices of women in coproducing biocultural landscapes are often invisible in the academic literature. In the Ait

Allergen‐specific immunotherapy guided by skin prick testing in a Canadian shepherd dog with atopic dermatitis

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, August 2026.
Abstract This case report describes the successful use of allergen‐specific immunotherapy guided by skin prick testing in a Canadian shepherd dog with atopic dermatitis. The dog presented severe pruritus, hypotrichosis, erythema and generalised scaling. Hyperpigmentation and lichenification were observed on the hindlimbs, thoracic and lateral abdominal

Ecosystem openness to nitrogen and phosphorus controlled by fertilisation, mowing and plant diversity in a grassland

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2506-2519, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecosystem openness to nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) is determined by the balance of N and P inputs (e.g. fertiliser) and outputs (biomass removal). Plant biodiversity enhances nutrient use efficiency due to species' complementary uptake driven by their variation in ...

Salt glands in exo‐recretohalophytes: Development, physiological functions, and prospects for improving crop salt tolerance

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2368-2387, August 2026.
This review examines salt glands in exo‐recretohalophytes, in which epidermal stem cells differentiate into unicellular, bicellular, or multicellular salt glands. Salt ions are transported to the leaves via the transpiration stream and enter salt glands through symplastic and apoplastic pathways. Finally, salt glands actively secrete salt ions from the
