Chemical Composition and In Sacco Degradation Kinetics of Four Common Biowastes in Canterbury

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
This research aimed to quantify the chemical composition and rumen degradation kinetics of three local and one imported biowaste using the in sacco nylon bag technique. Triplicate samples of oven‐dried biowastes ground to 4 mm were incubated in the rumens of four cows for 0 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 72 h.

The Vulnerability of New Zealand Forage Plants to Incursions by New Pests, Pathogens and Weeds, and the Case for Greater Protection

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

N2 fixation is linked to the ability to encroach in African savanna trees

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 517-533, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Encroachment is a globally ubiquitous phenomenon, characterised by increasing indigenous tree densities in savanna and grassland. Encroachment has been attributed to rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations fertilising tree growth and shifting the competitive balance ...

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Geranium sylvaticum*

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Geranium sylvaticum is a perennial forb of upland grasslands, woodlands and riverbanks in northern Britain, with scattered native occurrences also in Wales, central England and Northern Ireland. It has an extensive native range in Europe and Asia. The species is gynodioecious, with individual plants typically female or hermaphrodite.

Warming, elevated CO2 and drought in combination accelerates plant phenological shifts in managed montane grassland

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Plant phenology is key to plant and ecosystem functioning. Its responses to multiple interacting global change factors are still poorly understood. In a managed montane grassland, warming and elevated CO2 accelerated the spring development of species, while summer drought constrained their regrowth after cutting and advanced senescence.
