Understanding Plant Parasitism: Hydnora Africana and European Scientific Practice in the Early Nineteenth Century**

open access: yesBerichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 315-334, September 2026.
This article will analyze the uncertainties around collecting and classifying Hydnora africana in the first half of the nineteenth century. Emerging from the distinctive dryland ecologies of South Africa, Hydnora was interpreted as strange and cryptic by Europeans primarily because it is a root parasite—a complex floral trait that was little understood.

Comparative Assessment of Landsat‐8 and SPOT‐7 Satellite Data With Field Spectral Measurements for Estimating Plant Diversity in Sandy Grasslands

open access: yesBiological Diversity, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 136-148, September 2026.
We compared Landsat‐8 OLI, SPOT, and hyperspectral data for estimating vascular plant diversity in China's Hunshandak Sandland. SPOT data showed the strongest correlation with alpha diversity, followed by hyperspectral data, with Landsat‐8 performing the weakest.

Metabolomic Characterization of 16 Malpighiaceae Species From Brazilian Biomes by UHPLC‐MS/MS and PCA

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 9, September 2026.
Sixteen species belonging to the Malpighiaceae family were analyzed by UHPLC‐MS/MS in both positive and negative ionization modes, and the resulting metabolomic data were subjected to chemometric analyses to investigate the patterns of chemodiversity across different Brazilian biomes.

Inoculation with old‐growth microbes improves restoration quality and reduces non‐native encroachment after seven years

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 6, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding the mechanisms that promote native seedling establishment in disturbed ecosystems is key to improving the biodiversity and function of landscape restorations. Over seven growing seasons, we examined the effects of site preparation technique, soil microbial inoculations, and their interactions on native plant establishment in the ...

Evolutionary Imprints on the Foliar Elementome: Biogeochemical Niche Differentiation Among Fagus Species

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study compared the biogeochemical niches of three Fagus species (F. grandifolia, F. sylvatica, and F. crenata) using foliar nutrient data from 328 sites, revealing distinct elemental compositions and unique nutrient acquisition strategies. Phosphorus and calcium primarily distinguished F. sylvatica, whereas F.

Investigating Genetic Spillage in a Mimulus cardinalis (Syn. Erythranthe cardinalis) Common Garden Experiment

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
In this study, we investigated a possible spillage of genetic material from an existing common garden experiment of monkeyflower and found no evidence of the unknown population of monkeyflower to be escapees but represent a natural population in that region.

Current and Future Distributions of Allium karataviense and A. turkestanicum in Central Asia Using MaxEnt Modeling

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
The study used Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) modeling to assess the current and future potential distributions of Allium karataviense Regel and A. turkestanicum Regel. The modeling was conducted under three climate change scenarios (SSP1‐2.6, SSP2‐4.5, and SSP5‐8.5) across three future periods, 2030s, 2070s, and 2090s. Based on the results, the Western Tien

Unearthing Forest History: Integrating Soil Charcoal Macrofossils and Pollen Reveals Delayed Forest Responses to Holocene Climatic Transitions in Boreal–Temperate Ecotone

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study reconstructs long‐term vegetation dynamics at the boreal–temperate forest ecotone in eastern Canada using soil charcoal, pollen records, and forest inventories. Results reveal a delayed expansion of thermophilous tree species and a late borealization of the landscape in relation to climate change, alongside recent stand‐scale shifts driven ...

Changes in Potential Suitable Habitats, Species Turnover, and Conservation Gaps of Wild Plants in the Tarim Basin, China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Using ensemble species distribution models for 608 wild plant species, this study assessed future changes in potential suitable habitats, species richness, species turnover, and conservation gaps in the Tarim Basin under climate change. The results show shrinking and fragmented high‐richness areas, increasing habitat loss risk, and high species ...
