Scenario Simulation of Tea Expansion Impacts in Karst Ecosystems

Ecosystem Health and Sustainability
Over the past 20 years, tea plantation areas in the karst region of Qianbei have expanded at an average annual rate of 14.09%, making the tea industry a key driver of regional economic development. However, the impact of land-use and cover change (LUCC) driven by tea plantation expansion on local habitat quality (HQ) remains unclear.

Long‐term effects of clear‐cutting forestry on ectomycorrhizal fungi in boreal forest

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2818-2831, September 2026.
Summary Clear‐cutting is detrimental to ectomycorrhizal fungi in a short time perspective, but long‐term effects on species richness and community composition are uncertain. To evaluate ecological sustainability of rotation forestry, we examined to what extent communities similar to those in old forests develop within the time frame of a rotation ...

Water Availability and Hydraulic Strategies Control Leaf Thermoregulation and Damage During Heat Stress and Recovery in Temperate Tree Species

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 6296-6310, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Heatwaves are intensifying worldwide, often coinciding with high vapour pressure deficit (VPD) and soil drought. Yet, how temperate tree species tolerate these combined stresses remains elusive. Using single‐tree gas‐exchange chambers, we examined the response of leaf gas exchange and thermoregulation of three broadleaved tree species to a ...

Quaternary Climate Oscillations Shape Genetic Diversity and Spatial Structure of Viola hybanthoides (Violaceae) Endemic to Danxia Landscape

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We adopted ddRAD‐seq and chloroplast genome sequencing to explore the genetic characteristics of the danxia‐endemic species Viola hybanthoides. This species exhibits extremely low within‐population genetic diversity and obvious genetic differentiation, which is mainly driven by habitat fragmentation, restricted gene flow and Quaternary climatic changes.

Dominant Role of Habitat Transformation in Driving the Divergence of Health‐Risk Related Microbial Functional Genes in Karst Mountain Parks: A Metagenomic Study

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This manuscript elucidates the impact of transforming karst mountain forests into urban parks on health‐risk related microbial functional genes and its implications for mitigating potential public health exposures. Distinctively, the study advances prior research by evaluating the variation in health‐related functional genes within parks of varying ...
