Moderate Biochar–Compost Mixture Is More Effective in Improving Biomass, Nutrient Fluxes, and Photosynthetic Outputs for Sustainable Land Restoration and Soil Fertility

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 16, Page 12004-12017, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil nutrient depletion severely constrains crop productivity in degraded and saline environments. Strategies such as biochar–compost integration could be useful for sustainable agriculture and land restoration on a global scale. This study evaluated the effects of biochar (1% Bc), compost (1% Co), and their blends (0.5% Bc + 0.5% Co and 1% Bc

Reindeer grazing induces spatial and functional shifts in root systems of boreal pine forests

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
The spatial distribution of roots, laterally and vertically, is critical for nutrient and water uptake and for driving root‐associated carbon inputs and turnover. Large herbivores, such as reindeer, influence ecosystems belowground by altering aboveground vegetation composition and soil microclimate.

The importance of biodiversity components differs among wood‐based material Nature's contributions to people (NCP) in a tropical montane ecosystem

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Biodiversity can influence forest productivity, but this does not necessarily translate into higher provision of wood‐based Nature's contributions to people (NCP), as only a subset of the wood produced is used for each NCP. Biodiversity–NCP relationships therefore require further assessment.

Comprehensive Review of Hybridization of Kenaf Fiber/Banana Fiber Filled Polymer Composites in Automobile and Aerospace Industries

SPE Polymers, Volume 7, Issue 4, October 2026.
Hybridization of kenaf and banana fibres in aerospace and automobile applications. ABSTRACT Natural fiber reinforced polymer composites have been extensively studied as a result of the automotive and aerospace industries' need for lightweight, durable materials and the growing environmental concerns surrounding the production of synthetic fibers.

Almond Shell‐Derived Cellulosic Microfibres: Extraction, Characterisation and Applications in Sustainable Paper‐Based Packaging

Packaging Technology and Science, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 1231-1251, October 2026.
Cellulosic microfibres were extracted from almond shells using organosolv, soda and kraft processes, and comprehensive physicochemical, surface, thermal and morphological characterisation demonstrated their strong potential as sustainable fillers for paper‐based packaging application. ABSTRACT This study develops pathways for the valorisation of almond

Coupled Mechano‐Chemical Pretreatment of Poplar Wood to Enhance Enzymatic Hydrolysis for Low‐Cost Biorefinery

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Common methods of lignocellulose pretreatment (such as acid method, alkali method, and organic solvent method) have been severely restricted in their development due to issues such as harsh reaction conditions, high cost of reagents, and heavy environmental burden.

How Data Uncertainty Influences Estimates of Root Zone Water Storage Capacity

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Root zone water storage capacity (SR ${S}_{R}$) sets the lower limit on the water available to plants and is critical for modeling terrestrial water and carbon fluxes. Due to subsurface heterogeneity in soils, roots, and geology, in‐situ measurements of SR ${S}_{R}$ are infeasible at regional to global scales.

Intraspecific variability rivals interspecific differences in root traits of temperate tree seedlings

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3114-3132, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Global change and associated disturbances are increasing the risk of regeneration failure for tree species in temperate forests. Seedlings are particularly vulnerable to water stress due to their shallow root systems, making below‐ground plasticity a potentially key ...
