Partial mycoheterotrophy: a common strategy in arbuscular mycorrhizal plants?

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3096-3110, September 2026.
Proposed autotrophy to mycoheterotrophy continuum among arbuscular mycorrhizal plants. Summary The vast majority of land plants transfer part of the organic carbon they produce by photosynthesis to arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi inside their root cells; the fungi in turn help plants to take up nutrients and water from the soil.

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

open access: yesPlant, 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 ...

Environmental Filtering and Microbial Interactions Drive Soil Bacterial and Fungal Community Assembly in Subtropical Forests

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10324-10339, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil microbial communities are pivotal to forest ecosystem functions, yet the mechanisms shaping their assembly across complex environments remain poorly understood. This study examined bacterial and fungal communities within topsoil and subsoil under subtropical coniferous forest (CF), mixed conifer–broadleaf forest (MF), and broadleaf forest

Functional Effects of the Pioneer Fern Dicranopteris on Soil Fertility and Its Spatial Patterns in Degraded Hilly Landscapes

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10340-10354, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vegetation recovery is vital for reversing soil degradation in subtropical red soil regions. This study evaluates the role of the pioneer fern Dicranopteris in enhancing soil fertility and its spatial variability across degraded hills in South China.

Combating Farmland Degradation and Abandonment: The Rehabilitative Role of High‐Standard Farmland Construction in China

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10371-10386, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Farmland abandonment, driven by rapid urbanization and rural labor migration, has become a major catalyst for land degradation and threatens agricultural sustainability in China. While the High‐Standard Farmland Construction (HSFC) program was initiated to rehabilitate degraded soils and upgrade agricultural infrastructure, empirical evidence ...
