From mainland to islands: the evolution of resistance and tolerance to herbivory in long‐lived oaks

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Island biogeography theory predicts that island plants should exhibit reduced defences compared with their mainland relatives due to relaxed herbivory pressure. However, growing empirical evidence challenges this prediction, revealing substantial variation among systems, plant lineages and defence types.

Impact of harvest intensity on ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic fungal communities in forest soils

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3146-3160, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Low‐intensity tree harvesting has been proposed as a sustainable forest management practice to balance and preserve forest productivity, carbon storage and resilience to climate extremes. Soil fungi play a central role in driving tree performance and soil carbon storage,

Changing climates and environments within the complex Middle to Late Pleistocene fill of an overdeepened valley at Niederweningen, Switzerland

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 964-992, October 2026.
Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...

Crescimento e nutrição de erva-mate influenciados pela adubação nitrogenada, fosfatada e potássica

Ciência Florestal, 2013
Ilex paraguariensis is considered a low P-requiring species because it grows naturally in soils with low P content, although no much information is also available for N and K requirements.

Changes in land‐snail communities and steppe environments in the lower Rhône valley during the Lateglacial–Holocene transition

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 1160-1186, October 2026.
Land snail successions in the lower Rhône valley allow us to reconstruct the postglacial recolonization. From the Lateglacial period onwards, Mediterranean steppe communities appeared. The arrival of forest taxa was significantly delayed by aridity. The question of glacial refugia, both local and distant, primarily concerned Mediterranean species of ...

Development of a Rapid, Field‐Based Method and a Real‐Time Multiplex PCR for Simultaneous Detection of Multiple Forestry Phytophthora Species

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT There are currently several Phytophthora species that are of major concern for forestry. Three of these species: P. pluvialis, P. pseudosyringae and P. ramorum, share a similar host range across the British Isles and display similar symptoms and disease progression. As P. pluvialis and P. ramorum are regulated pathogens in Great Britain, early

The Role of Environmental Parameters in the Evolution of Holm Oak (Quercus ilex L. subsp. ballota (Desf.) Samp) Decline: Studies in the Iberian Peninsula

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The combination of geographical factors (climate, slope, orientation, lithology, water availability, etc.) and the pathogenicity of agents such as the oomycete from the kingdom Straminopile Phytophthora or Pythium species causes the plant disease known as oak decline in the Iberian Peninsula. Leaving aside the presence of the pathogen, the aim

Remediation of Pb-, Zn-, Cu-, and Cd-Contaminated Soil in a Lead–Zinc Mining Area by Co-Cropping Ilex cornuta and Epipremnum aureum with Illite Application

Agriculture
Phytoremediation is considered an effective strategy for remediation of heavy-metal-contaminated soil in mining areas. However, single-species plants cannot reach the highest potential for uptake of heavy metals due to inhibition of their growth by high ...

Are novel and co‐xenic associations common in alien fungal and fungus‐like plant pathogens?

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 2, Page 843-860, October 2026.
Possible scenarios for plant–pathogen associations during invasion. An introduced plant may occur in a new area without its pathogen (enemy release) or together with its pathogen (co‐introduction). The presence of the alien plant (in red) and its co‐introduced pathogen (in dark red) can result in pathogen spillover to co‐occurring plants. Host jumps to
