One questionnaire—Two points in time: Has plant species knowledge of laypeople changed over a period of 20 years?

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1916-1928, June 2026.
Abstract Concern has been raised that in recent decades knowledge of plant species has severely declined in western countries. However, in the absence of regularly repeated and standardized surveys, no reliable statement can be made as to whether plant species knowledge has actually declined in recent decades.

Analysis of Spontaneous Plant Species in an Urban Green Space in Southern Spain

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a detailed floristic inventory of the spontaneous flora in La Asomadilla urban park in Córdoba, southern Spain. In addition to being the largest urban park in the city, La Asomadilla is characterized by irregular terrain, a transitional location between the Guadalquivir river plain and Sierra Morena mountains, and the ...

Phytotherapeutic Regulation of Matrix Metalloproteinases in Diabetic Foot Ulcer: Molecular Mechanisms and Wound Healing Perspectives

open access: yesPhytochemicals in Food and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
Chronic inflammation in diabetic foot ulcers elevates MMP activity and suppresses TIMP and growth factor signaling, impairing tissue repair. Phytochemicals modulate NF‐κB/MAPK pathways and enhance Nrf2–TIMP expression, restoring MMP/TIMP balance, promoting collagen deposition, angiogenesis, and re‐epithelialization, leading to effective wound healing ...

Colonization and spatiotemporal distribution of bruchid pests in lentil and faba bean fields

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 5780-5794, June 2026.
This study of 104 fields identifies Bruchus signaticornis in lentils and B. rufimanus in faba beans as the sole grain‐damaging species. Their uniform distribution within fields and the strong effect of regulatory factors on larvae and egg survival emphasize the need for species‐specific, phenology‐based and spatially informed integrated pest management

Fully Organic Agroforestry Practices in Rice Cultivation: Effects on Soil Bacterial Microbiota, Soil Health and Grain Quality

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Sustainable practices are increasingly recognised for benefiting soil biodiversity, health, and overall grain quality. This study examined a unique rice agroecosystem adopting fully organic practices and agroforestry through a seasonal characterisation of soil bacterial microbiota and physicochemical parameters.

Lupin (Lupinus angustifolius) as a Protein‐Rich Emerging Crop Adapted to Uruguay: Nutritional and Functional Potential

open access: yesSustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2026.
Characterization of Lupinus angustifolius cultivated in Uruguay. The figure summarizes the experimental workflow applied to six Lupinus angustifolius samples cultivated in Uruguay. After sample preparation, different analytical approaches were performed: Proximate composition determination of moisture, ash, crude protein, and crude fat by standard AOAC

A role for environmental niche divergence in the rapid radiation of Nicotiana section Suaveolentes (Solanaceae)

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Nicotiana sect. Suaveolentes is a group that has undergone recent and rapid radiation, a clade that originated ca. six million years ago and has since rapidly speciated throughout Australia, with a few taxa on Pacific Islands and one in Namibia (Africa). Post‐tetraploidisation, species in N. sect.

Shrubs inhibit plant diseases by intercepting light in alpine meadows

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1644-1655, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change is disproportionately impacting mountain ecosystems, leading to widespread shrub expansion into alpine meadows. Shrub encroachment alters the albedo, carbon budget and warming rate in alpine grasslands, but it remains challenging to predict how shrub ...

The influence of a cluster‐rooted species on Bossiaea linophylla (Fabaceae) under extremely phosphorus‐impoverished conditions: Phosphorus competition and altered plant–microbe interactions

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1709-1724, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Phosphorus (P) limitation may intensify plant competition. However, in severely P‐impoverished soils of south‐western Australia, cluster‐rooted Banksia attenuata (Proteaceae) can facilitate P acquisition of neighbouring species by mobilising tightly bound P from soil ...
