Shrubs inhibit plant diseases by intercepting light in alpine meadows

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1644-1655, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change is disproportionately impacting mountain ecosystems, leading to widespread shrub expansion into alpine meadows. Shrub encroachment alters the albedo, carbon budget and warming rate in alpine grasslands, but it remains challenging to predict how shrub ...

IAM‐FIRE: A Climate Emulator–Based Framework to Project Wildfire Impacts and Risks for Integrated Assessment Models

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
Current models can overestimate how much carbon forests can store if they ignore the growing threat of wildfires. To solve this, we develop a new tool called IAM‐FIRE to predict global wildfires and associated carbon emissions through the year 2100. The results show how future fire impacts depend on human choices. If we rapidly cut emissions and ensure

Vegetal Infrastructure: Rwanda's Eucalyptus Boom and the Material Politics of Tree Planting as a ‘Nature‐Based Solution’

The Geographical Journal, Volume 192, Issue 2, June 2026.
Short Abstract This article analyses the political ecology of Rwanda's eucalyptus boom, situating it as a site of tension within a global push towards ‘nature‐based solutions’. It develops the concept of vegetal infrastructure, demonstrating how certain tree species become legible to global environmental governance while making local social ...

Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2778-2813, June 2026.
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...
