Ecology 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.

Ecology 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.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.Forest structure accounted for a larger unique fraction of vascular plant compositional variation in Southern Apennine old‐growth forests (23.5%) than topography alone (12.8%), with a substantial shared contribution between the two predictor sets.

Environmental and Evolutionary Correlates of Extinction Risk in a Global Biodiversity Hotspot
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.We show that larger genera have a greater number of threatened and near‐threatened species, and that extinction risk is uncoupled with evolutionary history (diversification, speciation, extinction rates and lineage age). The decoupling of diversification rates and lineage age with current extinction risk suggests drivers of extinction risk are ...

Ecology 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

Ecology 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 ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.This study examined the distribution, habitat associations, and functional and taxonomic composition of native and introduced plant species across a highly managed university campus landscape. Native and introduced taxa differed in their associations with major habitat types and in growth‐form and taxonomic composition, while substantial functional ...

Ecology 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 ...

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,
