Spatial Heterogeneity and Nonlinear Influencing Mechanisms of Vegetation Carbon Sequestration Capacity in the Southwest China Karst Region

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Understanding of the spatiotemporal dynamics of vegetation carbon sequestration capacity (VCSC) in Southwest China's contiguous karst region is critical for regional carbon cycling. Using MOD17A3 data from 2001 to 2023, we analyzed spatial heterogeneity in vegetation net primary productivity (NPP) and applied Geodetector to evaluate nonlinear ...

Classification and Conceptualization of Karst Recharge Processes Through Spectral and Change Point Analysis of Drip Water Dynamics

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Karst aquifers are notoriously heterogeneous, making it challenging to characterize recharge dynamics using traditional, static indicators. Percolating (drip) water records, when analyzed at high temporal resolution, offer insights into flow mechanisms in karst vadose zones.

Evergreen vs. deciduous species: Whose water use efficiency can influence the plant trait spectrum in the karst evergreen-deciduous mixed broad-leaved forests?

Forest Ecosystems
Unraveling the drivers of the plant trait spectrum is crucial for explaining species coexistence, especially in biodiverse ecosystems. Focusing on the Maolan Nature Reserve, a typical karst evergreen-deciduous mixed forest, this study examined the ...

Vegetation Analysis of Tree Species in the Hungayono Karst Ecosystem

Jurnal Biologi Tropis
Karst ecosystems possess distinctive edaphic and hydrological characteristics that influence vegetation structure, yet information regarding tree vegetation in the Hungayono karst area remains limited. This study aimed to analyze species composition, vegetation structure, and community patterns of tree vegetation in the Hungayono Karst Ecosystem ...

Distribution pattern and driving factors of mite communities in karst cave ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution
AbstractMites are among the most abundant invertebrates in subsurface ecosystems, and their community assemblages and distributions are often significantly influenced by the diversity of habitat resources. The cave ecosystem encompasses drastic changes in nonbiological factors, such as changes in lighting conditions from bright to extraordinarily dark ...

Regeneration response to post‐disturbance forest management in Central Europe

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
As disturbance activity intensifies, forest management must identify strategies to facilitate the rapid recovery of disturbed sites. By studying 868 disturbed sites across Central Europe, we found that active post‐disturbance management significantly enhanced tree regeneration in regional disturbance hotspots.

Variation of the Start Date of the Vegetation Growing Season (SOS) and Its Climatic Drivers in the Tibetan Plateau

Plants
Climate change inevitably affects vegetation growth in the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Understanding the dynamics of vegetation phenology and the responses of vegetation phenology to climate change are crucial for evaluating the impacts of climate change on ...

Benchmarking Full‐Length ITS Metabarcoding Across Illumina 2 × 500, PacBio, and Oxford Nanopore Sequencing Using Mock and Soil Communities

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 6, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Metabarcoding is a powerful tool for biodiversity comparisons, where standard‐size DNA barcodes (> 500 bases) offer better taxonomic resolution than shorter ones. Still, the choice of sequencing platforms and bioinformatics pipelines may strongly affect inferred diversity due to various technical biases. We assessed the relative performance of

Quantitatively Simulating Flood Processes Under Different Karst Landforms and Water‐Bearing Media

Water Resources Research
Landforms and water‐bearing media in karst regions greatly influence the patterns of hydrological processes (runoff generation and confluence) and water circulation, resulting in notable differences in the formation and propagation of flood processes ...
