Soil Properties and Plant Species Identity Independently Influence Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Composition Across Lowland Tropical Forests

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We found that plant species identity and soil properties, especially soil phosphorus availability, independently structured arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) community composition in tropical forests across central Panama. We also found that soil nutrient availability may mediate the interaction networks between plants and AMF. ABSTRACT Plant species

Advancing Water Security in the Tropical and Subtropical Regions: An Integrative Topic Modeling Approach

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Water security in tropical regions faces escalating pressures from climate change, land‐use shifts, and population growth. We conducted a bibliometric review of 1146 peer‐reviewed articles (1964–2023) on tropical water security. Latent Dirichlet Allocation identified 13 thematic topics and their evolution. Publications rose sharply after 2012,

Inverse effects of soil moisture and litter quality on litter decomposition along a gradient from hyper‐arid to temperate climate

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
We hypothesized that litter decomposition (H1) and litter quality (H2) increase with increasing soil humidity, therefore litter from the wetter sites to have the highest litter quality and decompose fastest in each site, and fastest on the wet end of the gradient (H3).

Marked tree demographic variation along subtle elevation differences partially explains species' habitat associations in an Amazonian forest

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 10, Page 2860-2874, October 2025.
These findings show that even small differences in elevation can lead to biologically meaningful variation in resource access that translates into significant differences in tree growth and survival. However, resource access could not fully explain the patterns of topographically driven demographic variation we observed. While certain species may still

Community‐level trait variation of epiphytic bryophytes supports trade‐off aligned with leaf‐economic spectrum in vertically stratified tropical montane cloud forest canopies

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 9, Page 2300-2313, September 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Tropical montane cloud forests are among the most biodiverse ecosystems on earth and are vulnerable to climate change due to reliance on atmospheric moisture. Epiphytic bryophytes (i.e.

Above‐ground competition by Nephrolepis brownii inhibits tree seedling recruitment in a tropical restoration experiment

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 8, Page 1968-1979, August 2025.
As Nephrolepis brownii primarily interferes through above‐ground competition, management of above‐ground tissues may mitigate its impact. However, additional research on the efficacy of this management strategy and potential allelopathic traits is needed.
