Herbivore decline switches a high Arctic plant community from top‐down to bottom‐up control

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 4, April 2026.
Declining abundance of large herbivores in the Arctic loosens the top‐down control on the vegetation, which now responds primarily to the changing climatic conditions and follows the general greening pattern observed in a warming Arctic. These changes may impact terrestrial ecosystem element cycling, with knock‐on effects on the dynamics in adjacent ...

Dormancy in reproductive vegetative buds in creeping perennials dominating the agricultural weed flora in Scandinavia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Dormancy, which is the inability to initiate normal growth under otherwise favourable conditions, is an adaptation to escape sprouting prior to seasonal cold temperatures and/or drought in areas where winters are harsh or summers dry.

Historic disturbance events overruled climatic factors as drivers of ruderal species distributions in the Scandinavian mountains

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
The contemporary interaction of climate and disturbance drives vegetation composition and species distribution shifts, making their respective roles difficult to disentangle. This study describes the long‐term ruderal plant species distributions along the ‘Rallarvägen' in Abisko, subarctic Sweden.

Identification and characterization of BAHD hydroxycinnamoyltransferases in the fern Neoblechnum brasiliense

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 1, April 2026.
Significance Statement Nine BAHD acyltransferases have been identified and characterized in the fern Neoblechnum brasiliense transferring hydroxycinnamoyl units onto various alcohol and amine acceptor substrates. Kinetic characterization showed that shikimic and quinic acids for ester formation as well as 3‐hydroxyanthranilic acid and tryptamine for ...
