Sustained Livestock Grazing Enhances Soil Organic Carbon Storage in Sub‐Arctic Grassland

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2026.
We studied long‐term effects of grazing cessation on 34 grassland and heathland sites in Iceland. Grazing cessation was associated with lower SOC, nitrogen and root carbon in the top 10 cm of soil providing evidence for enhanced SOC in grazed land, showing that grazing is a climate change mitigation strategy.

Mowing Modulates Nitrogen Saturation Thresholds of Aboveground Productivity in a Meadow Steppe via Dominant Species and Stoichiometric Regulation

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2026.
Aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) reached saturation at approximately 10 g N m−2 year−1, while mowing increased the nitrogen saturation threshold to a higher nitrogen‐addition level. This nonlinear saturation response was mainly driven by increased dominance of the dominant species, with plant stoichiometric thresholds further promoting the ...

A Trial of Ground‐Based Methods for Controlling Osmunda regalis L. Invasion of Waikato Wetlands, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 4, December 2026.
Over 90% of palustrine wetlands in New Zealand have been lost, and those remaining face ongoing threats such as plant invasions. In the northern North Island, there is concern about widespread invasion of wetlands by royal fern (Osmunda regalis), a fast‐growing exotic fern introduced to New Zealand in 1890.

Evaluation of uncrewed aerial system‐derived vegetation indices for forage trait phenomic prediction in oat–pea intercrop breeding trials

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Accelerating genetic gain in intercrop forage breeding requires scalable phenotyping approaches that can capture both yield and quality variation across complex genotype combinations. This study evaluated the use of uncrewed aerial system (UAS)‐derived multispectral vegetation indices (VIs) for predicting forage yield and nutritive quality in ...
