Synergistic and Trade‐Off Effects of Plant Communities on Slope Runoff and Sediment Yield

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant community functional structure plays an important role in regulating slope runoff and sediment yield on the Loess Plateau. Based on runoff plot monitoring and vegetation surveys in the Yangjuangou catchment, we used partial least squares regression (PLSR) and variable importance in projection (VIP) analysis to assess the effects of ...

Forest Vapor Pressure Deficit Sensitivity: A Potential Indicator of Soil Carbon Stability Under Atmospheric Drying

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This Short Report examines an underexplored link between atmospheric drying and soil organic carbon (SOC) stability. Rising atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is becoming an increasingly important hydroclimatic stressor for terrestrial ecosystems.

Two new endemic species of Portulaca (Portulacaceae) from the Brazilian Pampa grasslands

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Portulaca L. is a monophyletic, cosmopolitan genus of succulent plants comprising ca 153 species, with particularly high diversity in xerophytic ecosystems in tropical and subtropical regions. Based on morphological evidence, we describe and illustrate two new species from the Brazilian Pampa, Portulaca guaritensis and Portulaca guenoa.

Near‐T2T genome assembly of Erigeron sumatrensis provides insights into polyploid evolution and the herbicidal efficiency of HPPD inhibitors

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
The near‐T2T genome assembly of Erigeron sumatrensis reveals an allohexaploid origin, evolution, and the interaction between the herbicidal target of the HPPD family and mesotrione. Abstract Species of Erigeron, members of the family Asteraceae, have invaded and adapted to agricultural fields and uncultivated habitats worldwide. Erigeron sumatrensis is

Elevation‐dependent soil and plant responses to a decade of warming and species removal

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding how ecosystems retain or release carbon under warming is a critical challenge. Dominant plant species, which contribute the most biomass, can mediate ecosystem responses to warming by modifying microclimate and nutrient cycling. To investigate how warming and shifts in plant dominance interact to affect carbon and nutrient dynamics, we ...
