Contrasting Osmotic Stress Responses and Provenance Effects on Seed Germination and Seedling Performance in Two Andean Species

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Oreocallis grandiflora was highly drought‐sensitive, whereas Salvia corrugata recovered and showed adaptive traits. Provenance effects were strong in O. grandiflora but weak in S. corrugata. These results reveal species‐ and provenance‐dependent responses to water limitation, highlighting the importance of selecting suitable species and seed sources ...

Regulating sink-source ratio optimizes cotton defoliation efficiency during the early-to-mid flowering and boll stages

Industrial Crops and Products
The sink-source relationship significantly influences chemical defoliation in cotton. However, studies on the effects of sink-source manipulations at different phenological stages remain limited.

Vegetation, Water Infiltration, and Soil Carbon Responses to Adaptive Multi‐Paddock and Conventional Grazing in Northern Great Plains, USA, Ranches

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Adaptive Multi‐Paddock (AMP) grazing involves alternating short‐duration, high‐intensity grazing with extended recovery periods. It offers the potential to regenerate degraded rangelands while enhancing productivity. We compared vegetation, soil carbon, and water infiltration responses between nine matched pairs of ranches in North and South ...

Deep Learning for Satellite‐Based Forest Disturbance Monitoring: Recent Advances and Challenges

WIREs Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, Volume 16, Issue 2, June 2026.
Overview of key research challenges in forest disturbance monitoring, including the detection of disturbances of varying severity, the attribution of disturbance agents, and the development of models capable of generalizing across regions. ABSTRACT Climate change and land use pressures are intensifying forest disturbances in many world regions, as ...

Genome and transcriptome‐based identification and expression profiling of chemosensory gene families across developmental stages and tissues in Sirex noctilio (Hymenoptera: Siricidae)

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 270-283, June 2026.
The first draft genome of Sirex noctilio was produced. Fifteen S. noctilio transcriptomes were sequenced to study chemosensory gene expression patterns. SnocOR16 and SnocSNMP1 displayed tissue‐ and sex‐specific expression patterns. Abstract The Sirex woodwasp (Sirex noctilio; Hymenoptera: Siricidae) is among the most destructive invasive pests ...

Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2778-2813, June 2026.
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

Cultural methods for controlling docks in organically farmed grassland (extension 1998-99) (OFT0115T) [PDF]

, 1999
Docks are considered to be one of the main weed problems of grassland. The absence of an effective non-chemical control may be a deterrent to organic-conversion for farmers accustomed to using herbicides for dock control. This work addresses this problem

Late‐summer nitrogen fertilization rate effects on herbage mass, nutritive value, and fertilizer recovery efficiency of stockpiled bermudagrass

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Stockpiled bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.) can potentially provide nutritious forage and extend the grazing season in the upper southeastern US Coastal Plain. This multi‐location 1‐year study evaluated the effects of four N fertilizer rates (from 0 to 135 kg ha−1) and four harvest dates (from October to January) on leaf‐to‐stem ...

Climate Change Shapes Suitable Habitat and Ecological Niche Overlap Between Hyphantria cunea and Its Parasitoid Chouioia cunea in China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
*Hyphantria cunea* is a highly invasive forest pest in China, and its parasitoid *Chouioia cunea* is widely used for biological control, though climate change may alter their spatial matching. Using ensemble species distribution models under multiple SSP scenarios, we found that suitable habitats for both species are projected to expand, with ...

Will It Survive? Evaluating the Effects of Damage and Silviculture on Tree Seedling Survival Using Multi‐State Models

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Plantations are the spearhead of adaptive silviculture, yet we do not understand how damage from abiotic and biotic agents relates to seedlings’ survival. In this study, we used multi‐state models, which originate from the medical field, to evaluate the relation between ‘damage history’, silvicultural treatments, and planted tree survival.
