Global distribution and biogeography of ericoid mycorrhizal fungi

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2135-2151, August 2026.
Global predictions of local ericoid mycorrhizal fungal richness, its latitudinal trends and environmental predictors. Summary Ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) fungi play a crucial role across terrestrial ecosystems, forming mutualistic symbiosis with Ericaceae and contributing to soil organic matter dynamics.

Not only reseeder or resprouter plants: Trait syndromes and post‐fire responses of three iconic Mediterranean woody species

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1399-1410, August 2026.
Post‐fire plant functional strategies of Mediterranean woody species can be less fixed than often thought when intraspecific variability of fire‐related traits is considered. Abstract Fire can profoundly affect ecosystem dynamics, species distribution and plant traits, especially in open biomes.

The biology of mycorrhiza in the Ericaceae [PDF]

New Phytologist, 1995
summaryIn acid mor‐humus soils of heathland ecosystems fungi are a significant part of the soil biomass. In these organic soils chitin and hyphal wall hexosamines are major potential sources of nitrogen (N). The ability of the ericoid mycorrhizal fungus Hymenoscyphus ericae (Read) Korf & Kernan to degrade purified chitin and the hexosamines, N ...

C: N P stoichiometry of Ericaceae species in shrubland biomes across Southern China influences of climate, soil and species identity

Journal of Plant Ecology, 2018
Aims Carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) stoichiometry strongly affect functions and nutrient cycling within ecosystems. However, the related researches in shrubs were very limited.

Advancing the pneumatic method to assess xylem vulnerability to embolism among distinct growth forms

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1385-1398, August 2026.
Our study shows that pneumatic vulnerability curves can be constructed across contrasting growth forms, with P50 showing the closest agreement across methods. Repeated relative water content measurements improved water potential estimation for graminoid culms. Abstract Drought‐driven plant mortality is closely linked to xylem embolism. Building useful,

Pre‐industrial land‐use limits contemporary shrub encroachment in the French Alps

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Shrub encroachment has become a global phenomenon in recent decades. While global warming in the Arctic is often cited as the primary cause, human‐managed mountain regions have experienced intense historical land‐use that may also play a considerable role.

Alpine flora of Kashmir Himalaya: floristic assessment, life history traits and threat status

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Alpine ecosystems in the Himalaya are considered to be at a higher risk to anthropogenic global change drivers. The Kashmir Himalaya, located in the north‐western side of the Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, harbors a diverse alpine flora, which remains systematically little investigated.

A Novel Pollen Transfer Mechanism by Honey Bee Foragers on Highbush Blueberry (Ericales: Ericaceae)

Environmental Entomology, 2018
Honey bees (Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae)) are effective pollinators of many crops but are thought to be inefficient in pollinating blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) due to their inability to buzz pollinate.

Leveraging machine learning and citizen science data to describe flowering phenology across South Africa

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1132-1144, July 2026.
Recent shifts in flowering times are an index of, and a response to, human driven climate change. However, most information on these flowering changes is heavily skewed to the northern hemisphere. This imbalance limits our understanding of how climate change is affecting ecosystems, including the mismatches of flowering times between species, increased
