Efficient water‐soluble blue/red‐emissive carbon dots matching plant absorption spectra: Synthesis, tunable control, and their applications in promoting plant growth

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Guided by the spectral demand of plant photosystems, this review summarizes the synthesis, emission regulation, dual‐emission design, and gram‐scale production of CDs for agricultural applications. Spectrally matched blue‐ and red‐emissive CDs enhance plant light utilization by converting underutilized light into photosynthetically active radiation and

Bidirectional Plant‐Microneedle Responses to Guide Biomaterial Design

Small, EarlyView.
We examine bidirectional interactions between plants and polymeric microneedles to develop effective compound delivery strategies. Material chemistry and architecture determine stability in the plant environment, cargo–matrix interactions, and the magnitude and duration of the plant response. Plant microneedles should therefore be designed as a coupled

Route‐Dependent Toxicity and Ecological Selectivity of Melaleuca alternifolia Essential Oil in Apis mellifera Linnaeus, 1758 (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The intensification of agricultural practices has led to an increase in the use of insecticides, raising concerns about the exposure of non‐target organisms, particularly pollinators. In this context, plant‐derived essential oils have been proposed as environmentally friendlier alternatives due to their low persistence; however, their ...

Within‐crown microclimatic variation and growth‐stage shape oak leaf chemistry with limited consequences for herbivore performance

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mature trees exhibit distinct vertical gradients in temperature and light. These within‐crown microclimatic gradients have been linked to spatial variation in leaf chemistry and herbivory.

Root‐associated fungi modulate plant recruitment in Mediterranean forests

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Established plants affect directly and indirectly the success of juvenile plants recruiting in their close vicinity, what is defined as a canopy–recruit interaction. Such interactions affect plant species demography and community dynamics.

Increasing susceptibility to priming of soil N mineralisation across a subarctic tundra‐forest ecotone under N fertilisation

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change is driving shrub encroachment and treeline advance in the Arctic, increasing inputs of plant‐derived carbon (C) to soil. These inputs could enhance or reduce microbial decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) (‘priming’), affecting the soil C balance ...

From foraging to decomposition: Large vertebrates as biotic drivers of trace element cycling across landscapes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We highlight an overlooked pathway in ecosystem functioning: the role of animal carcass decomposition in trace element cycling. By linking animal life cycles to landscape‐scale processes, we explain how large animals redistribute scarce elements and influence spatial heterogeneity, with implications for ecosystem functioning and restoration.

Offspring performance does not explain oviposition preference in the leafminer Stigmella sorbi (Lepidoptera: Nepticulidae): a tri‐trophic perspective

Insect Science, EarlyView.
We studied oviposition site selection in a leaf‐mining moth (Stigmella sorbi) on rowan trees (Sorbus aucuparia) in northwestern Russia, assessing larval performance across different shoot types, leaf positions, and leaflets. Larval survival was highest on long vegetative shoots, yet females showed no preference for these optimal sites.
