Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Our overall aim was to assess the sustainability of exploitation of slow‐growing, long‐lived intertidal Ascophyllum nodosum forests. They have been mechanically harvested for almost 50 years in Breiðafjörður, Iceland, but there is a lack of long‐term local research as various local factors can impact the recovery time of Ascophyllum.

Balancing tracks and trees: Assessing railroad impact on Brazilian biodiversity
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1345-1356, July 2026.The Brazilian West–East Integration Railway (FIOL) aims to boost the national economy by improving commodity transport; however, it crosses three of Brazil's most biodiverse and fragile regions: the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Using digitised plant records and land‐use analyses, our study reveals significant vegetation loss within the ...

Kelp forests modulate fish community dynamics and responses to ocean warming
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.Our spatially resolved benchmark indicates that abundant kelp cover can delay tropicalisation by lowering the realised thermal affinity of reef‐fish communities, while increases in fish biodiversity may signal the early stages of this process. Abstract Kelp forests are foundation habitats that create structurally complex and biodiverse marine ...

Effects of applying Trichoderma asperellum to rice (Oryza sativa) on phytobiome and plant responses
Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.We investigated the effect of dipping at transplanting or post‐transplanting spray application on the root‐associated microbiome or leaf epiphytes via amplicon sequencing, and on plant responses via RNA‐seq. Both root dipping and foliar application with Trichoderma asperellum spore suspension only had a limited impact on the leaf epiphytes and root ...

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.ABSTRACT Global increases in tree mortality from climate change and land‐use are altering forest structures, impacting canopy‐dwelling plants like vascular epiphytes, which depend on host trees (phorophytes). When a phorophyte dies standing, it becomes a snag, the local substrate conditions change and microclimatic exposure may increase, particularly ...

Plants on Plants – The Biology of Vascular Epiphytes [electronic resource] /
This book critically reviews advances in our understanding of the biology of vascular epiphytes since Andreas Schimper’s 1888 seminal work. It addresses all aspects of their biology, from anatomy and physiology to ecology and evolution, in the context of

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Recent kelp forest declines and growth in the kelp aquaculture industry have fueled increasing interest in ecological and evolutionary research on kelp forests, including kelp population genomics. Although many kelp management activities have inherent genetic and evolutionary implications, kelp management in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of ...

Contrasting Forest Trajectories Drive Changes in Bird Functional Traits
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Aim We investigated how bird functional diversity varies across forest habitat types with distinct successional trajectories, namely (1) natural succession forests, with naturally regenerating forests established on former grasslands; (2) secondary forest remnants resulting from deforestation; and (3) conserved forests.
