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 ...

The interplay between hydraulic capacitance and stomatal regulation strategy affects soil–plant hydraulics and transpiration

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2988-3000, June 2026.
Summary Plant water storage contributes to transpiration, but it is unclear how its relevance in supporting transpiration depends on the stringency of stomatal regulation. Here, we show the compounding effect of stomatal regulation and hydraulic capacitance on plant water use, by means of a soil–plant hydraulic model and measurements of leaf water ...

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 ...

Microbial Atrazine Breakdown in a Karst Groundwater System and Its Effect on Ecosystem Energetics

, 2010
In the absence of sunlight energy, microbial community survival in subterranean aquifers depends on integrated mechanisms of energy and nutrient scavenging.

Phenylalanine 15N enrichment likely indicates fungal‐derived organic nutrient acquisition in mycoheterotrophic plants across fungal guilds

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3990-4001, June 2026.
Summary Beyond fully mycoheterotrophic plants, many green plants may also obtain carbon from fungal partners. However, bulk stable isotope analyses often lack sufficient resolution in arbuscular mycorrhizal and rhizoctonia‐associated orchid systems, limiting inference of fungal‐derived organic nutrient acquisition.

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 ...

Spatial differentiation characteristics and controlling factors of the epikarst thickness in Southwest China

Geoderma
The epikarst, a critical link between surface and subsurface in karst regions, plays a vital role in regulating groundwater cycle, sustaining biogeochemical cycles, and securing water resources.

Tree‐ring structure determines the temporal coordination between xylem growth and the gain in hydraulic conductivity in the outermost ring

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3732-3746, June 2026.
Summary The study of seasonal xylem hydraulics has predominantly focused on embolism‐induced losses, whereas growth‐driven increases in hydraulic capacity have received little attention. We assessed the intra‐annual dynamics of xylem formation and gain of conductivity in the current‐year ring of three species with contrasting tree‐ring structure ...

Microplastic and microfiber pollution in the Proteus anguinus habitats. Preliminary investigations in the Classical Karst Region

Microplastic (MP) and microfiber (MF) pollution in karst environments is poorly studied. The Classical Karst Region is characterised by the presence of dissolution feature in carbonate rock, protected at European level habitats and species, such as the ...

[War consequences as the potential hazard for the Croatian karst ecosystem].

Arhiv za higijenu rada i toksikologiju, 2007
In the recent war in Croatia, the karstic area of the country was endangered by hazardous waste, which calls for particular attention because of its exceptional ecological sensitivity. There are strong indications that various organic pollutants have entered the environment.
