Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are crucial components of dryland ecosystems; however, they are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic disturbances, particularly trampling caused by grazing. To evaluate the impacts of trampling on biocrust structure, microbial communities, and soil functions, we conducted a mesocosm‐based simulated disturbance ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Shrub encroachment is rapidly transforming alpine meadow ecosystems worldwide, yet its consequences for belowground microbial organization remain insufficiently understood, particularly when different shrub species exert contrasting ecological effects.

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.A zero‐dimensional perovskite‐inspired scintillator (Cs3Cu2I5) is developed as a high‐radiation‐resilient radionuclide analyzer capable of operating under extreme γ‐ray environments. Even after 200 kGy irradiation, the device fully restores its original spectroscopic performance through simple thermal annealing, demonstrating intrinsic defect ...

Oikos, EarlyView.No‐analogue futures are characteristic of the Anthropocene, but how global change, and societies' responses, will affect plant invasions remains unclear. Conducting research now to address future needs is crucial for guiding invasion management and policy.

Oikos, EarlyView.The ecological and epidemiological consequences of species expanding into new areas are growing concomitantly with climate change. Those aiming to monitor species expanding in range must make optimal use of finite resources to deliver effective surveillance capable of detecting new incursions and range expansions.

Oikos, EarlyView.Climatic conditions shape phenotypic evolution by driving adaptations that optimise organismal function. Invasive species provide valuable systems to study these processes, as they often encounter novel climatic conditions in their introduced ranges. The European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus, native to the Iberian Peninsula, has established populations

Globally widespread weeds show preadaptation to non‐analogue climates: a common garden approach
Oikos, EarlyView.Climatic niche shifts have been documented for plant species introduced into new regions, however the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Niche shifts into novel climates are particularly difficult to predict as previous occurrence data cannot reveal whether these novel climates are within species' fundamental niche limits.
