Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.A hysteretic model predicts a time lag in the response of herbaceous layer variables (e.g., cover, diversity) to decreasing N deposition. To the contrary, virtually all such variables displayed a surprising sensitivity to decreased N. ABSTRACT Increases in nitrogen (N) emissions during the 20th century resulted in the atmospheric deposition of N ...

Grassland Research, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 169-181, June 2026.Under steady–state conditions, potential nitrogen mineralization in soil under grasslands is closely tied to potential carbon mineralization. This study provides supporting evidence that field–specific nitrogen fertilizer recommendations could be indicated by using a simple and rapid analysis of soil–test biological activity.

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2933-2945, June 2026.Summary Roots are responsible for soil water uptake, yet little is known about how variation in fine‐root traits relates to whole‐tree water movement, particularly during periods of drought. By combining a 3‐yr dataset monitoring sap flow rates with measures of fine‐root biomass, length, and morphology across 10 tree species, we addressed hypotheses ...

Structure and sequence evolution in the pennycress (Thlaspi arvense) pangenome
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2723-2741, June 2026.Summary Eukaryotic genomes harbor many forms of variation, including nucleotide diversity and structural polymorphisms, which experience natural selection and contribute to genome evolution and biodiversity. Harnessing this variation for agriculture hinges on our ability to detect, quantify, catalog, and deploy genetic diversity. Here, we explore seven

Update of the Xylella spp. host plant database – Systematic literature search up to 31 December 2025
EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract This scientific report provides an update of the Xylella spp. host plant database, aiming to provide information and scientific support to risk assessors, risk managers and researchers dealing with Xylella spp. Upon a mandate of the European Commission, EFSA created and regularly updates a database of host plant species of Xylella spp.

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 9, Page 3715-3725, 30 May 2026.ABSTRACT Forest ecosystems play a critical role in the global carbon cycle. As a significant terrestrial carbon sink, plantations exhibit carbon stock patterns that are shaped by tree species composition, stand structure, and environmental conditions. Here, we investigated typical plantation types in the Mufu Mountain, Hubei Province.

Radial growth of black cherry (Prunus serotina) at the northern limit of its native range
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Climate change is forcing us to reassess the foundational principles of forest management. Shifts in temperature, precipitation, and extreme weather events are altering both our understanding of forest ecosystems and how we steward them. Scientific research aimed at providing useful information can help forest managers make informed, evidence ...

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.Solar‐induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) and gross primary productivity decline at midday during a short heatwave in a tower site of a larch forest. High atmospheric vapor pressure deficit significantly reduced the photochemical reflectance index (PRI), light‐use efficiency (LUE), and canopy fluorescence emission efficiency (εF).

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2026.This study highlights developments in cost‐effective fractionation techniques to ensure the sustainability and industrial applicability of biomass. ABSTRACT Given the depletion of fossil fuels and global concerns about environmental protection, lignocellulosic biomass is an excellent alternative candidate due to its unique combination of ...

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 3, April/May 2026.ABSTRACT Emissions from trees are an important component of the global methane (CH4) cycle, but their spatial origins (soil vs. in‐stem), transport pathways and environmental influences are not well constrained. To address these issues, this field study characterized spatial and temporal variability in stem emissions of biologically inert radon (222Rn),
