Assessing multifunctional mountain landscape in an Eastern European framework

open access: yesGeographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2026.
The research introduces the Biocultural Resilience Index (BRI), a novel tool for assessing multifunctional landscape sustainability. By integrating biological, cultural, and socio‐economic indicators, the BRI identifies vulnerable areas and informs strategies for sustainable management.

Estimation of the Number of Nuisance Bears in the Oshima Peninsula, Hokkaido

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, Volume 68, Issue 2, April 2026.
In this study, we aimed to estimate the number of nuisance bears based on damage and occurrence reports collected from 2009 to 2023 in the Oshima Peninsula, Hokkaido. For the estimation, we assessed the harmfulness level (from Condition 0 to 3) of the bears based on the details of the reports and developed a method to remove double or more overcounts ...

Continuous Stem Water Potential Measurements With Microtensiometry Reveal Species Identity and Soil Matric Potential Control of Stem Water Potential in Temperate Forests

open access: yesEcohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 3, April/May 2026.
ABSTRACT Water potential gradients govern water fluxes, and plants respond with species‐specific hydraulic traits that influence ecosystem function. While understanding these traits is key to predicting vegetation responses to climate change, traditional methods like the pressure chamber limit temporal resolution and continuity.

Vegetal residue‐based formulation of Trichoderma ossianense, a new indigenous vineyard species adapted to alkaline pH with potential biocontrol ability against Black‐foot disease pathogens

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 2910-2924, April 2026.
The study identifies Trichoderma ossianense, was can be isolated from grapevine roots, is capable of growing at alkaline pH and controls black‐foot pathogens, highlighting the vegetal residue‐based formulations that preserve its viability. Abstract BACKGROUND Fungi of the Trichoderma genus are used in vineyards as biological control agents mainly ...

Unravelling the spatial and temporal variability of natural disturbances in European forests

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
The heterogeneity of natural disturbance patterns and high temporal variability across European Forest suggest the need of adopting context‐dependent management strategies tailored to both the dominant disturbance agent and local environmental conditions, particularly in the most vulnerable regions, such as the Iberian Peninsula—with large and frequent

Stand Dynamics and Disturbance History of Champlain Valley Clayplain Forests [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Studies of stand dynamics can explain how species interactions and disturbances drive forest structure and recruitment patterns of tree species. It is difficult to generate an understanding of stand dynamics and successional trends of forests in areas ...

Silver fir seed viability varies with age, fir‐associated forest cover and abiotic conditions of seed harvest stands across Austria

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
As climate change, habitat loss and fragmentation intensify, seed‐sourcing strategies should explicitly incorporate ecological filters when selecting stands for seed harvest to safeguard seed viability and genetic diversity for nursery production. Seed stand management should be refocused on promoting structural conditions that enhance reproductive ...

Unveiling the Hidden Drivers: How Vegetation Cover, Season and Forest Management Shape the Soil Microbial Community in Two Mediterranean Forest Ecosystems

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Forest management affects microbial community composition depending on forest type. Vegetation type has the strongest effect on microbial composition, while management alters community structure without affecting function, highlighting the importance of vegetation in forest soil ecosystem dynamics.

Breeding in natural nesting sites can improve the resilience of local Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni) populations to environmental changes

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 2, Page 465-478, April 2026.
The identification of key habitats of threatened species and of extrinsic environmental factors that influence their resilience to human‐induced environmental changes are the foundation for the definition of conservation objectives. Using the presence and numerical abundance data collected in a long‐term survey (2000–24) of breeding colonies of Lesser ...
