Community Trait Distributions Drive Biomass Stand Allocation Trade‐Offs in Karst Forests

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
In this study, multi‐source data (functional traits of dominant species, topography‐soil parameters, and biomass) of the dynamic monitoring plot of Maolan Dynamic Plot of Karst Forest Ecosystem in South China were collected. The partial least squares structural equation model (PLS‐SEM) was adopted to study the biomass trade‐off strategy of the karst ...

Conserving Large Old Trees in Guangxi, South China: Diversity, Distribution, and Preservation Strategies

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study comprehensively analyzes the diversity and distribution of over 500 year old large old trees (LOTs) in Guangxi, China, identifying 2630 LOTs from 149 species with a notable latitudinal gradient in richness. Tree vitality was found to be highest in rural and natural habitats like villages and scenic spots, compared to residential areas.

Handheld Thermal Devices Can Facilitate Population Monitoring of the Critically Endangered Delacour's Langur Trachypithecus delacouri in Difficult Terrains

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study demonstrates that handheld thermal devices can effectively complement traditional ground‐based surveys for monitoring the critically endangered Delacour's langur in northern Vietnam. Fieldworks also revealed a population increase and reduced survey effort, highlighting thermal handhelds as a practical alternative amid drone flight ...

Detecting and modeling topography‐induced differences in plant productivity across a grassland ecosystem gradient

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Understanding spatial variation in grassland productivity is critical for ecological modeling and management. The Great Plains of North America, a vast grassland region east of the Rocky Mountains, exhibits strong gradients in aboveground net primary production (ANPP) linked to precipitation and finer scale topoedaphic variation.
