Phenology and developmental stage mediate symbiotic N fixation in a hairy vetch breeding program
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) is an overwintering annual legume valued for its ability to provide N through symbiotic N fixation (SNF). Although SNF is a high‐priority trait for farmers, evaluating SNF in a breeding program is a challenging endeavor. Our objective was to evaluate how SNF varies within and among hairy vetch genotypes and how

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract The agricultural sector contributes to the greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes in the United States. In livestock systems, grass–legume mixtures provide agronomic benefits, but their role in GHG mitigation remains understudied. This study evaluated the short‐term effects of two forage treatments on nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), and carbon ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2016 The species within the Lolium/Festuca grass complex have dispersed and colonized large areas of temperate global grasslands both naturally and by human intervention. The species within this grass complex represent some of the most important grass species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.This study examines the role of slope aspect in mediating the spatial homogeneity of alpine meadow communities on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau through the lens of modern coexistence theory. We found that slope aspect strongly mediated community homogeneity by altering niche differences, but not fitness differences, with this effect being significant ...

Maximising trait evenness promotes the recovery of plant species richness in managed grasslands
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.Land‐use intensification threatens biodiversity, and restoring degraded ecosystems remains challenging due to the difficulty of identifying the rules governing community assembly and dynamics. Investigating the temporal dynamics of trait‐abundance distributions (TADs) along long‐term time series offers a promising approach to disentangle the influence ...

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.Understanding how global change reshapes mountain plant communities is essential for predicting biodiversity and ecosystem function in a warming world. Using resurvey data from over 1400 non‐forest vegetation plots across the European Alps, we show that community‐weighted means of key functional traits capturing important dimensions of plant ecological
