Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Oak woodlands are among California's least protected yet most ecologically important ecosystems, providing critical habitat for a wide variety of plant and animal species. These foundational plant communities are increasingly threatened by drought, wildfire, and other climate‐driven disturbances, which have contributed to significant declines ...

Long‐term trends in greenness in the alpine zone of northeastern North America from remote sensing
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Alpine zones above treeline in the Appalachian Mountains and adjacent ranges of northeastern North America support distinctive ecological communities that thrive where conditions are too harsh for trees to grow. These communities differ from alpine zones elsewhere on the continent and are a regionally important source of floristic biodiversity,

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 3, September 2026.Geochemical constraints imposed by ultramafic lithologies strongly affect soil and ecosystem development, typically signified by elevated trace element concentrations, nutrient imbalances and reduced biological productivity. In a reconnaissance study, we assessed the variability of soil and ecosystem conditions across a moraine complex with mixed ...

Giant phytoplankton revealed by in situ imaging
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2026.Abstract Deployment of an autonomous Zooglider in the western Mediterranean Sea revealed the presence of long phytoplankton chains attaining maximum lengths of 6.4–10.4 mm suspended in situ. Elongate chains included the diatoms Guinardia, Proboscia, two other diatom morphologies, and solitary filaments of the cyanobacterium Trichodesmium. Most elongate
