Inundation Duration Shapes Germination of Native and Non‐Native Plant Assemblages From Floodplain Soil Seedbanks

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 3, April/May 2026.
ABSTRACT Episodic inundation regulates germination and recruitment from soil seedbanks, which are key processes driving vegetation dynamics in dryland floodplains. In the Murray‐Darling Basin, extensive floodplain modification and flow regulation have altered flow regimes so that anthropogenically controlled environmental watering is often required to ...

Total herbivore exclusion alters plant species dominance and trait expression in endangered grassy woodlands

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Herbivores are important drivers of plant community composition and dominance in grassy ecosystems, yet few studies have attempted to understand how different types of herbivores impact plant dominance and function. This study examined the biomass of dominant grass species and other plant functional groups after 3 years of nested herbivore ...

Silicon Nanoparticles Enhance Cold Tolerance in Elymus nutans Seedlings by Regulating Growth, Physiology, and Gene Expression Under Cold Stress

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Cold stress represents one of the primary abiotic stresses affecting forage growth, development, yield, and quality. As a novel agricultural nanomaterial, silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) demonstrate unique potential in regulating plant stress responses. However, their mechanism of action in forage cold responses remains poorly understood.

Independent Review of Direct Seeding Techniques to Restore Grassy Woodland: Five Case Studies on the Cumberland Plain

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the effectiveness of several direct seeding techniques in the restoration of Cumberland Plain Woodland, with a focus on understanding the influence of environmental variables and seeding techniques on outcomes. A series of direct seeding trials were conducted across nine sites previously dominated by exotic grasses on ...

Imaging of Molecular and Developmental Responses to Abiotic Stresses in Reproductive Tissues

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures, have profound effects on plant reproduction, often leading to reduced fertility and yield. Reproduction in plants involves complex interactions between diverse cells, necessitating spatiotemporal resolution to understand how stress impacts each component of this intricate ...

Eragrostis curvula cultivars improve soil bacterial diversity, extracellular enzyme activities, and nutrition in grassland ecosystem soils

Scientific Reports
Research on Eragrostis curvula has focused primarily on its value for pastures and as a potential food source, while the contribution of its cultivars to soil nutrient cycling in nutrient-poor grassland ecosystems is still poorly understood.

A review of grass species yields and growth rates in Northland, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1440-1463, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Pastoral farming is a major land use in New Zealand's Northland region, with 3,171 farm holdings and a total area of 637,500 hectares in 2022. The region's pasture grasses include temperate (C3) and subtropical and tropical (C4) grasses which support dairy, and sheep and beef production from grazing.

Herbivory mediates the response of below‐ground food webs to invasive grasses

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 10, Page 2103-2117, October 2025.
This study investigates for the first time experimentally and in the field the interplay between plant invasion and herbivores of different guilds, shedding light on a complex network of below‐ground interactions and providing precious insights to land managers.
