Plant genotypic diversity and defoliation jointly shape root exudation, fungal communities, and carbon and nitrogen cycling

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 1, Page 324-339, October 2026.
Experimental design. Summary Intraspecific plant diversity is a major component of community diversity, yet its role in shaping plant–microbial interactions and soil functioning remains poorly understood. In particular, plant genotypic diversity may modulate ecosystem responses to defoliation, a key driver of ecosystem processes in grazed systems.

Restored wetlands: interplay between environmental variables, aboveground and belowground plant traits, and carbon cycling

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 1, Page 131-144, October 2026.
Assessing relationships between environmental conditions, aboveground and belowground plant traits, and carbon cycling in restored wetlands (grazed and ungrazed), compared to a baseline in near‐natural wetlands in Denmark, revealed that ecosystem functions can be restored, even in cases where plant biodiversity has not recovered.

Ectomycorrhizal Cortinariaceae species dominate class II peroxidase gene expression in a boreal forest soil

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 1, Page 400-413, October 2026.
Share of transcripts and ITS2 sequence for each gene families among identified fungal contigs and OTUs. Summary Boreal forest ecosystems constitute a large terrestrial reservoir of carbon. In these nitrogen‐limited environments, release of nutrients through decomposition of soil organic matter is of fundamental importance.

Additives Enhancing Biodegradability in Plastics and Potential Implications for Textiles: A Mechanistic Review

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 35, September 15, 2026.
Mechanistic insights from additive‐assisted plastic degradation guide the design of environmentally adaptive textile fibers. Functional additives enhance oxidative, hydrolytic, enzymatic, and microbial degradation pathways. Translating these strategies requires control of fiber architecture, additive distribution, and environmental interactions ...

Forage mass, accumulation, and nutritive value of four perennial forages grown in a loblolly pine silvopasture in the Mid‐South United States

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Establishing forage in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations has the potential to increase grazing acreage for cattle farms in the Mid‐South, but appropriate species selection still requires investigation. The objective was to evaluate forage mass, accumulation, and nutritive value of four perennial forage species, novel‐endophyte tall ...
