Effects of Climatic Factors and Disturbance on Plant Above‐Ground Biomass and Species Diversity of Chinese Grasslands: A Meta‐Analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This meta‐analysis across China reveals that grassland biomass is primarily driven by human disturbance and precipitation, while biodiversity is more influenced by climate. Both metrics perform better under mowing and fencing than grazing, with biodiversity and biomass generally sharing a positive linear relationship.

Reforestation Under Climate Change—A Cross‐Regional Deadwood Retention Experiment to Develop Multifunctional Forests on Disturbed Norway Spruce Areas

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
The interdisciplinary “ResEt‐Fi” project investigates ecological and economic responses to different deadwood management practices within post‐disturbance landscapes. This article presents the rationale behind different deadwood treatments, the design of our cross‐regional field trial in Central Europe, and outlines an ecological response framework ...

Anthropogenic Disturbance Shapes Native–Alien Community Patterns Across Urban–Rural Gradients in a Neglected Invertebrate Model System

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Urbanisation and habitat disturbance are well‐known to promote the spread of opportunistic and alien species, but their effect on alien land snails has seldom been investigated. This research aimed to test whether alien snails presence and abundance can be influenced by proximity to roads, water sources and human structures, as well as the site size ...

First South Korean Record of Beetle Suborder Myxophaga Extends Its Documented Range in Continental East Asia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We report Sphaerius sp. from South Korea, representing the first record of Myxophaga from the Korean Peninsula and extending its known continental East Asian range northeastward. SEM‐based morphology and COI barcode data support its placement in Sphaerius.

Invasive mammals disrupt sea–land nutrient inputs over 169 years on subtropical oceanic islands

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Invasive mammals have severely impacted oceanic islands, reducing or extirpating seabird populations and driving the collapse of nutrient flows with lasting ecosystem effects. We investigated these dynamics on contrasting subtropical oceanic islands in the South Pacific: Rangitāhua, a large island where goats, cats, and rats caused the ...

Divergent Blue Carbon Trajectories in the Yellow River Delta Post‐1976 Diversion: Hydrological Stability and Human Disturbance Contrasts Revealed by Multi‐Source Remote Sensing (1984–2023)

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11417-11437, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Coastal wetlands are critical blue carbon sinks, yet their spatiotemporal dynamics under environmental change remain insufficiently quantified. Taking the Yellow River Delta (YRD) as a natural laboratory, this study synthesizes multi‐source remote sensing data, including optical and radar imagery spanning from 1984 to 2023, to explore the ...

Zooplankton reliance on autochthonous and allochthonous resources across mountain lakes revealed through essential amino acid δ13C analysis

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Terrestrial subsidies shape aquatic ecosystem structure and function, serving as important energy channels for consumers when phytoplankton and other autochthonous resources are limited. Despite this, quantifying the assimilation of allochthonous nutrients by aquatic consumers can be challenging. Here, we show terrestrial plants, benthic algae,

Checklist of Orchidaceae From Brazilian Amazon Restingas

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
In Brazil, restingas (coastal sandbank vegetation) are distributed along the coast in the Atlantic Forest, Caatinga, Cerrado, and Amazon phytogeographic domains. Orchidaceae is one of the botanical families with the greatest species richness in restingas in the Atlantic Forest but has been poorly documented in Amazonian restingas, resulting in limited ...

Plastic Inputs to Lake Rotorua: An Initial Assessment of Stormwater Stream Plastic Loads and Capture Devices

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 3, September 2026.
Plastics are a known but inconsistently researched challenge to Aotearoa New Zealand's inland freshwater systems. Understanding plastic origins, movement, and removal options for individual water bodies can enhance management efforts. This exploratory study quantified meso‐ and macroplastics entering Lake Rotorua through stormwater streams and assessed
