Mulching does not improve seedling survival or growth during early forest restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Weed control is one of the main operational challenges and cost components of tropical forest restoration in former pasturelands. Physical barriers (mulches) have been proposed as an alternative to conventional ring weeding because they can suppress competing vegetation while potentially improving the soil microenvironment ...

Seeding wildrye grasses (Elymus spp.) overcomes litter interactions to slow decomposition in buckthorn‐managed forests (Rhamnus cathartica)

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) is an invasive shrub that is widespread throughout deciduous forests of North America. Buckthorn benefits more from increased nitrogen availability compared to many native competitors. Increased litter decomposition can be a part of a self‐reinforcing mechanism of invasion.

Spatial and Temporal Vegetation and Peat Depth Patterns in Alpine, Subalpine and Montane Peatlands of South‐Eastern Australia

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 28, Issue 1, January 2027.
ABSTRACT Alpine, subalpine and montane peatlands provide important ecosystem services, including carbon storage, water regulation and habitat provision, and are threatened by a range of disturbance and degradation processes that impact these services.

Partitioning soil respiration refines carbon intensity estimates by isolating soil carbon mineralization from root respiration

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 2, December 2026.
Chamber‐based root exclusion partitions total soil respiration (RT) into autotrophic (RA) and heterotrophic (RH) components in switchgrass and corn systems. Biometric carbon intensity (CI) estimated from RH reveals switchgrass as a net soil C sink (−1.95 Mg CO2‐eq Mg−1 harvested biomass) and corn as a net source (+0.68 Mg CO2‐eq Mg−1).

Slow‐release peat‐urea fertilizer increased sweet corn yield and nitrogen use efficiency compared to urea

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Nitrogen (N) use efficiency of urea is often low, resulting in inefficient N utilization. Again, peat, a high organic carbon (OC)‐containing soil, is considered a problematic soil. However, enriching peat with urea may release fertilizer N slowly, and its application to agricultural soil can sequester OC in the soil.
