Dynamics of Vegetation and Soil in Long‐Term Artificial Sand Control Projects in the Ulan Buh Desert

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study investigates the long‐term synergistic evolution of vegetation and soil in artificial sand‐control projects (using straw checkerboard barriers) in China's Ulan Buh Desert. By analyzing areas with different restoration times (0–15 years), it identifies ~10 years as a critical inflection point where plant communities mature into stable, near ...

Unveiling Diet Preferences and Their Nutritional Drivers Through Metabarcoding: The Case of Alpine Marmot (Marmota marmota L.) in High Altitude Grazed Pastures

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The alpine marmot (Marmota marmota), a crucial component of alpine ecosystems, serves both as a key player in the food chain and as an ‘ecosystem engineer.’ Employing DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, this study investigated the diet composition and foraging strategies of four alpine marmot colonies across diverse alpine pasture ecosystems throughout

Influence of Dry and Steam Thermal Pretreatments on the Structural Properties and Flowability of Faba Bean Flours

open access: yesLegume Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Faba beans are emerging as a promising alternative protein source for bakeries, snacks, cereals and ready‐to‐eat foods. The quality and consistency of such products depend strongly on the processing behaviour of their flours, including handling, storage, mixing and extrusion performance, all of which are governed by flour flow and structural ...
