Assessing multifunctional mountain landscape in an Eastern European framework

Geographical 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.

Screening of Native Plant Species in the Artisanal Gold Mining Sites of Doko, Guinea: Perspectives for Phytoremediation

CLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 54, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study focuses on phytoremediation in a gold mining‐contaminated area in Doko, Guinea. Plant, soil, and rhizospheric soil samples were collected and subjected to physicochemical analyses to quantify heavy metal content. Biological indicators: bioconcentration factor (BCF), translocation factor (TF), and biological accumulation coefficient (BAC ...

Gigantochloa falcihumeris (Poaceae, Bambusoideae), a New Paleotropical Woody Bamboo Species From Southwest Yunnan, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We describe Gigantochloa falcihumeris, a new species of paleotropical woody bamboo discovered in Southwest Yunnan, China. It is distinguished by its culm leaf sheath shoulders that prominently rise into a distinctive ca. 1 cm long falcate point.

Soil Microbial Functions Indicate Persistent Agricultural Legacies and Potential Alternative States Following Restoration Plantings

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Soil microbial functions are key indicators of ecosystem recovery but can be obscured by taxonomic redundancy. Using shotgun metagenomics, we show that while overall functional diversity remains stable across land conditions, functional composition shifts persist in restored soils, particularly in relation to phosphorus metabolism.

Floristic Diversity and Indicator Species Analysis Along Altitudinal Gradients of the Upper Indus Basin, Northern Pakistan

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Altitudinal gradients substantially influence floristic diversity and indicator species. Three vegetation communities were identified, each shaped by specific environmental variables. Mantel test shows that altitude, Ca, K, Na are key drivers of species diversity and association.

Patterns of understorey bird diversity across Amazonian forests: survey effort and range maps predict local species richness

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Species diversity typically increases from higher to lower latitudes, but the regional‐scale variation along this geographic gradient remains unclear. It has been suggested that species diversity throughout Amazonia generally increases westward toward the Andes, but this pattern and its environmental determinants require further investigation for most ...

Moss diatoms show regional structuring, high potential endemism, and an inverse latitudinal diversity gradient in the Arctic

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Microorganisms perform essential functions in Arctic terrestrial ecosystems. Yet, their ecology and biogeography are poorly understood, despite being necessary to predict microbial responses to future climate change. Here, we provide the first large‐scale floristic and biogeographic study of the moss diatom flora in the tundra regions of the North ...

Mycochemical Diversity and Therapeutic Potential of Hymenochaetoid Fungi from Central Asia: Regional and Global Perspectives

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Central Asia harbors a rich yet understudied assemblage of wood‐inhabiting Hymenochaetoid fungi. This review delivers the first comprehensive synthesis of 43 poroid species representing 18 genera documented across montane forests, steppes, and xeric habitats.

Untargeted Metabolomics Reveals Organ‐Specific and Extraction‐Dependent Metabolite Profiles in Endemic Tajik Species Ferula violacea Korovin

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Ferula violacea Korovin, an endemic Tajikistani plant with purported medicinal properties, remains understudied. This study employs untargeted metabolomics to characterize the metabolite profiles of ethanol extracts and juices from F. violacea roots and seeds.

Detecting and attributing climate change effects on vegetation: Australia as a test case

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 461-485, March 2026.
Climate change is contributing to vegetation changes that threaten life support systems. Yet, inherent climatic variability and past and present human actions—such as clearing, burning and grazing regimes—also alter vegetation and complicate understanding of vegetation change. Australian ecosystems exemplify such complexity.
