Irrigation requirements, drought tolerance, and stability of warm‐season legumes intermixed in turfgrass

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Integrating legumes into turfgrass systems can reduce nitrogen fertilizer needs in urban landscapes through biological nitrogen fixation while enhancing plant biodiversity in urban lawns. However, the persistence and water requirements of these associations have not been evaluated in warm‐season lawns.

Remote sensing and machine learning models to assess and predict turfgrass performance and soil water stress under deficit irrigation for creeping bentgrass

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Turfgrass management faces challenges related to water scarcity, making it essential to explore innovative technologies, such as remote sensing and machine learning (ML), to monitor turf quality (TQ) and soil moisture levels effectively. The objective of this study was to develop ML models using unmanned aerial vehicle and imagery technology ...

Belowground biomass characteristics and soil organic C accumulation of bahiagrass‐based forage systems with or without legumes

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Grasslands are important terrestrial ecosystems that provide feed for livestock, support soil conservation and nutrient cycling, and store soil carbon (C). In many grazed grasslands, restricted nitrogen (N) inputs from fertilizers and minimal legume presence may constrain belowground biomass accumulation and soil C storage because of limited N.

Interseeding strategies for legume integration into meadow fescue pastures

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Forage legumes provide a wide range of ecosystem services to grasslands. Improving legume proportion and species diversity of meadow fescue [Lolium pratense (Huds.) Darbysh] pasture‐based systems can increase the sustainability of a given farming system. This study compared no‐till or frost‐seeding methods to incorporate clovers (Trifolium spp.

Floristic Diversity and Indicator Species Analysis Along Altitudinal Gradients of the Upper Indus Basin, Northern Pakistan

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Altitudinal gradients substantially influence floristic diversity and indicator species. Three vegetation communities were identified, each shaped by specific environmental variables. Mantel test shows that altitude, Ca, K, Na are key drivers of species diversity and association.

Adjacent Forests Enhance Spontaneous Revegetation and Phylogenetic Similarity on Mountainous Roadside Slopes: Implications for Ecological Restoration and Forest Edge Management

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The native‐dominated vegetation on roadside slopes primarily originates from adjacent forests, with long‐distance dispersal traits enhancing spontaneous colonization in these disturbed environments. The species composition and phylogenetic similarity between slope and forest communities are significantly influenced by the adjacent forests (species ...

Unveiling Diet Preferences and Their Nutritional Drivers Through Metabarcoding: The Case of Alpine Marmot (Marmota marmota L.) in High Altitude Grazed Pastures

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The alpine marmot (Marmota marmota), a crucial component of alpine ecosystems, serves both as a key player in the food chain and as an ‘ecosystem engineer.’ Employing DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, this study investigated the diet composition and foraging strategies of four alpine marmot colonies across diverse alpine pasture ecosystems throughout

Keep mowing: Predictions show that successful grassland restoration depends on post‐restoration management

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Ecological restoration can halt the ongoing loss of habitats, species, and ecological functions. However, to realize its potential, restoration ecology must develop tools for predicting restoration success based on suitable ecosystem attributes, as their properties affect prediction outcomes.
