Time tells: plasticity and developmental asynchrony underlie trait variation in a dune‐building grass

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Habitat‐modifying plants engineer landscapes through plant‐environment feedbacks. The strength of these feedbacks is determined by above‐ and below‐ground traits shaping landscape morphology. Besides interspecific differences, recent findings highlight that intraspecific trait variation, such as shoot density, can also influence landscape morphology ...

Science-based restoration monitoring of coastal habitats, Volume Two: Tools for monitoring coastal habitats [PDF]

, 2005
Healthy coastal habitats are not only important ecologically; they also support healthy coastal communities and improve the quality of people’s lives. Despite their many benefits and values, coastal habitats have been systematically modified, degraded ...

Rapidly declining seagrass meadows in Brazil: Findings from satellite imagery and local knowledge

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1155-1171, May 2026.
Abstract Due to the limitations of individual monitoring approaches, integrating social perceptions with multiple advanced technologies provides a new opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of ecosystem degradation. We combined historical aerial mapping, satellite imagery, semi‐structured interviews with local stakeholders, and a bilingual ...

Generation and Dissipation of Infragravity Waves Over Natural and Engineered Chenier Plain During Hurricane Laura

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Infragravity (IG) waves play a crucial role in nearshore hydrodynamics and sediment transport; however, their generation and dissipation mechanisms during extreme storms remain challenging to assess due to limited data availability, site‐specific characteristics of natural landscapes, and anthropogenic effects.

Entrainment of Muddy Sediment From Immobile Gravel River Beds

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This study examines the transport of fine muddy sediment through a gravel‐bed reach. In such cases, mud is often conceptualized as a size fraction that interacts little with the bed (i.e., as washload). However, previous studies have shown that mud can deposit within gravel beds.

Mechanisms of Vegetation Community Self‐Organization Driven by Water Availability in Arid Northwest China

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Precipitation is scarce in arid regions, making water redistribution a key driver of vegetation patterns, especially for non‐zonal vegetation in oases. Nevertheless, the coupling and mutual feedback mechanism between water and vegetation distribution is complex, and it has not been fully addressed. Taking an arid region of Northwest China as a

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

Recombination suppression in plant adaptation and speciation

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2061-2077, May 2026.
Summary Recombination suppression is increasingly recognized as an important facilitator of genomic divergence and speciation, especially under ongoing gene flow. In plants, however, the broader evolutionary consequences and the mechanisms by which recombination suppression arises and spreads are still incompletely understood, reflecting the inherent ...

OsMT2b Regulates Pollen Development and ROS Homeostasis in a Photoperiod‐Dependent Manner

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3051-3064, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are signalling molecules that promote programmed cell death in animal and plant systems. However, their role in rice (Oryza sativa L.) anther development is unclear. In this study, we show that lower transcript levels of the metallothionein gene OsMT2b in japonica rice plants obtained by RNA interference (RNAi ...
