Assessing multifunctional mountain landscape in an Eastern European framework

open access: yesGeographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2026.
The research introduces the Biocultural Resilience Index (BRI), a novel tool for assessing multifunctional landscape sustainability. By integrating biological, cultural, and socio‐economic indicators, the BRI identifies vulnerable areas and informs strategies for sustainable management.

Impact of river management history on the community structure, species composition and nutrient status in the Rhine alluvial hardwood forest [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The present-day Rhine alluvial hardwood forest (Querco-Ulmetum minoris, Issler 24) in the upper Rhine valley (France/Germany) is comprised of three vegetation units, one still flooded by calm waters (F) and the two others unflooded, one for 30 years ...

Forest Recovery or Shrubland Assembly? Vegetation Dynamics in Abandoned Atlantic Forest Highland Pastures

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding successional trajectories in abandoned lands is critical for predicting forest recovery potential in the Atlantic Forest, a global biodiversity hotspot. Over a decade of field monitoring (2014–2025) in permanent plots in the subtropical highlands of southern Brazil, we analyzed the dynamics of tree‐shrub components in abandoned ...

Is 500m2 an effective plot size to sample floristic diversity for Queensland’s vegetation? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Species area curves from 37 sites spanning the diversity of native vegetation in Queensland were examined. For the majority of sites investigated a 500 m2 plot captured about 80–90% of the vascular plant species present at the time of sampling. Floristic

Forest Disturbance Drives Changes in the Functional Traits of Soil Bacteria: A Metagenomic Study of Kauri (Agathis australis) Forest Ecosystems

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study reveals how ecological disturbances reshape the structure and function of soil bacterial communities in kauri forests, which are critical for ecosystem resilience. By linking disturbance regimes to shifts in bacterial diversity and functional capacity, it highlights the wider effects of ecosystem disturbance on soil ecological function ...

Koenigia bingchachaensis (Polygonaceae), a Remarkable New Species from the Alpine Subnival of Bingchacha, Zayü, Xizang, China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Koenigia bingchachaensis Bo Xu & H. Sun (Polygonaceae), a remarkable new species from the alpine subnival of Zayü County, Xizang, China, is described and illustrated. The integrative evidence from morphology and phylogenetics confirms the status of K. bingchachaensis as a new species, which also highlights the ongoing discovery of unique biodiversity ...

Vegetational Characteristics in Natural Habitat and Population Structure of the Endangered Plant Tigridiopalma Genus

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
First comprehensive ecological assessment of the endangered genus Tigridiopalma, covering two China endemic Plant Species with Extremely Small Populations (PSESP), T. magnifica and the newly described T. exalata. T. magnifica exhibits broader habitat diversity and understory resilience, while T.

Moth Communities Are More Diverse in the Understory Than in the Canopy of a Tropical Lowland Rainforest in NW Ecuador

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We investigate the stratification of five clades of Lepidoptera: Erebidae‐Arctiinae, Geometridae, Hedylidae, Saturniidae, and Sphingidae in a tropical rain forest of the Chocó region in NW Ecuador. Average species richness was higher in the understory, median sample sizes were similar between strata and we found more species in regenerating forests ...

European Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) as a Functional Keystone Species Shaping Woodland Flora in the UK

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Ash trees have distinct ecological attributes—their canopy allows a high level of light to penetrate and their foliage decomposes rapidly. Here we used woodland survey data to explore if the prevalence of ash trees has an impact on associated plant communities at a fine spatial scale.
