High atmospheric pressure rescues plant growth under humidity stress: A model for climate‐resilient deep underground agriculture

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
High atmospheric pressure (120 kPa) in deep underground counteracts humidity‐induced physiological stress in plants, stabilizing water balance and enhancing antioxidative defenses. This synergy boosts biomass despite elevated humidity, demonstrating sustainable deep underground agriculture potential under climate uncertainty.

Biotic and abiotic drivers of ecosystem functioning differ between a temperate and a tropical region

Ecography, EarlyView.
Any single ecosystem will provide many ecosystem functions. Yet, we lack large‐scale, systematic studies of how abiotic factors can directly or indirectly – via effects on biodiversity – drive ecosystem functioning. In this study, we assessed the impact of climate, landscape and biotic community on ecosystem functioning in the temperate and tropical ...

Spatial variation in liana effects on host‐tree allometry and biomass in an intact tropical forest

Ecography, EarlyView.
Lianas are increasing in abundance across the tropics, yet local spatial variation in their effects on host‐tree allometry and biomass, and the drivers of this variation within forests, remain poorly understood. Using field inventory, drone photogrammetry, and terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) across a 50‐ha plot on Barro Colorado Island, Panama, we ...

Climatic thresholds and temporal decoupling drive reproductive phenology in Neotropical cloud forests: a 36‐year analysis

Ecography, EarlyView.
Reproductive phenology influences ecosystem functioning and climate sensitivity in tropical montane cloud forests, but phase‑specific climatic thresholds and the temporal coupling between flowering and fruiting remain poorly quantified over decadal scales. We analyzed a 36‑year monthly record (1983–2018) from a Venezuelan cloud forest (15 focal species)

Global patterns of treeline predictability and the gap between the forest and the treeline

Ecography, EarlyView.
The alpine treeline is the highest elevation at which trees can grow, which is assumed to be controlled by temperature and globally predictable. However, many upper forest limits (UFLs) do not reach this elevation, due natural factors and human disturbance.

Spatial variation and predictors of plant species' intrinsic climate sensitivity across the conterminous United States

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how species' sensitivity to climate varies spatially across their ranges and elucidating the important causes is essential for identifying ecologically meaningful geographic units and conservation actions for biodiversity. In this study, we estimated climatic occurrence niches of vascular plants to explore the spatial variation in species'

Challenges in Implementing European Regulation on Water Reuse for Sustainable Agriculture

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Regulation (EU) 2020/741 on minimum requirements for water reuse is a key policy for sustainable water management under growing water scarcity in Europe. This paper examines expert perspectives on the challenges involved in implementing EU regulation for water reuse in agriculture, aiming to broaden existing research, which is largely ...

Perceptions of Governance (Il)Legitimacy Mediate Climate Change Adaptation in the Lake Victoria Basin, Uganda

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Governance is a well‐known dimension of adaptive capacity across various frameworks, however specific links between perceptions of governance (il)legitimacy and adaptive capacity remain relatively unexplored. In this study, we investigate connections between climate change adaptation and perceptions of governance (il)legitimacy using focus ...

Assessing Policy‐Oriented Learning About Climate‐Related Forest Disturbances in Europe

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European forests provide multiple ecosystem services but are increasingly under pressure from climate‐related disturbances such as droughts, storms and insect calamities. Forest policy is an important driver for the adaptation of forest management practices to climate change.

Climate‐related exposures and seizures in children: A systematic review

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Climate‐related exposures, including air pollution, temperature extremes, humidity, and atmospheric conditions, are increasingly recognized as potential seizure triggers. As climate change intensifies, understanding the environmental contributors to pediatric seizure risk has important implications for anticipatory guidance and ...
