Simulated Trampling Disturbance Alters Biocrust Microbial Communities and Soil Functions: A Container‐Based Mesocosm Experiment

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are crucial components of dryland ecosystems; however, they are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic disturbances, particularly trampling caused by grazing. To evaluate the impacts of trampling on biocrust structure, microbial communities, and soil functions, we conducted a mesocosm‐based simulated disturbance ...

Decades of Enclosure Protection Exert Composite Effects on Grassland Grasshopper Communities

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Decades of enclosure protection have altered grasshopper community structure, with species‐specific effects on population dynamics. For the low‐mobility grasshopper Chorthippus fallax, abundance did not differ strongly between exclosure‐protected and overgrazed areas, but its egg development duration was longer in exclosures. The two C.

Mowing Modulates Nitrogen Saturation Thresholds of Aboveground Productivity in a Meadow Steppe via Dominant Species and Stoichiometric Regulation

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2026.
Aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) reached saturation at approximately 10 g N m−2 year−1, while mowing increased the nitrogen saturation threshold to a higher nitrogen‐addition level. This nonlinear saturation response was mainly driven by increased dominance of the dominant species, with plant stoichiometric thresholds further promoting the ...

A recently evolved nonautonomous DNA transposon shapes DREB‐related DRF1 gene architecture in Triticeae

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract A nonautonomous DNA transposon was identified within the dehydration responsive factor 1 (DRF1) gene, a member of the DREB (dehydration responsive element binding) family involved in abiotic stress responses. The element was first detected in the Triticum durum TdDRF1 locus and subsequently in homologous genes from T.

Cuticular Waxes in Altered Environments and Their Role in Leaf Water Loss Dynamics

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 8014-8033, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Cuticular waxes undeniably form the primary barrier restricting uncontrolled water loss from leaves, yet the functional consequences of environmentally induced wax modifications for residual (cuticular) transpiration remain a matter of debate. This review summarises current knowledge on how major abiotic stimuli influence foliar cuticular wax ...
