Is a plant truly plastic? Nutrients and neighbours induce trait‐specific responses, but performance depends on response direction

Oikos, EarlyView.
Plants live in a heterogeneous world, where nutrient and neighbour distributions vary in space and time. Plants can respond to this variation through plastic responses in individual organs, which are assumed to be coordinated among traits to support a coherent, adaptive strategy, maintaining plant growth in varying environments.

Made in the shade: Leaf responses of native wildflowers to single‐axis photovoltaic solar energy

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As solar energy expands globally, balancing renewable power generation with biodiversity and ecosystem health has become an urgent challenge. This study investigated how native wildflowers respond at leaf level to the unique microclimates created by rotating solar panels in California's Central Valley.

Solar farms can mitigate negative impacts of whiplash weather on plant communities in a dryland ecosystem

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Utility‐scale solar energy (USSE) development generates novel questions regarding coupling clean energy production with terrestrial ecosystem services (e.g., forage production, pollinator support). We found that a USSE array sited in a fallowed cropland maintained a reseeded native plant community even a decade post‐restoration and that the array ...

ECOSTRESS‐derived semi‐arid forest temperature and evapotranspiration estimates demonstrate drought and thinning impacts

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that ECOSTRESS lands surface temperature (LST) data are sensitive to forest thinning, regional drought, and their interaction. Consistent with high‐resolution UAV images, ECOSTRESS LST data indicate thinned forest had significantly greater temperature across years.

Effects of Pyrolysis Control Parameters on the Structural Properties of Biomass‐Derived Activated Carbon Materials and Their Energy Applications

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Tubular pyrolysis synthesis is a widespread method to produce activated carbons (ACs). This review focuses on the different controlling parameters of the tubular pyrolysis synthesis method and their influence on the performance of synthesized ACs, thereby considering both experimental aspects and the use of plant‐based biomasses (PBBs) as feedstock ...

New opportunities for grassland species in warming temperate winters

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Temperate winters are getting warmer, the length of the growing season is increasing and mid‐winter fluctuations of warm and freezing temperatures are more frequent. Although typically winter dormant, some herbaceous perennials can maintain or grow green leaves during ...

Renewal bud traits as a link between whole plant traits and herbaceous species phenology

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Overwintering below‐ground buds and organs determine spring regrowth of perennial herbs in temperate regions. This effect could also manifest further in the timing and duration of plant growth and flowering and has been documented in some species and organ types ...

Geological Substrate Is Related to Tooth Senescence and Population Dynamic: The Case Study of Alpine Chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra L.)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In Alpine chamois, the complete wear of the first molar coincides with the beginning of senescence and the progress of tooth wear on calcareous substrate is slower than the one on other substrates, increasing life expectancy. Thus, the first molar wear may actually be considered as an effective descriptor of senescence stage.

Evaluation of Native Festuca Taxa for Sustainable Application in Urban Environments: Their Characteristics, Ornamental Value, and Germination in Different Growing Media

Soil Systems
This research is part of a Hungarian Research OTKA project that examines the vegetation of sandy grasslands along the Danube. During this study, Festuca wagneri and Festuca tomanii were identified as potentially suitable grass species for urban planting ...
