Functional Links Between Leaf Traits, Soil Properties, and Aboveground Biomass Along an Altitudinal Gradient in Chitwan, Nepal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Resource‐acquisitive leaf traits enhance aboveground biomass accumulation, whereas structural traits constrain it. Elevation and soil properties shape trait expression and biomass across the gradients. ABSTRACT Altitudinal gradients strongly influence plant species diversity and functional trait expression in forest ecosystems.

Harnessing Natural Compounds in Psoriasis: Targeting Cellular Pathways for Effective Therapy

Phytotherapy Research, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 4759-4791, August 2026.
Natural compounds act on key cellular pathways in psoriasis by suppressing keratinocyte hyperproliferation, modulating Th17/IL‐17‐mediated immune responses, and reducing oxidative stress. These multi‐target effects highlight their potential as safer adjunctive therapies alongside conventional treatments.

Prospects for the use of medicinal plants extracts (Mallotus oppositifolius and Kalanchoe crenata) as antimicrobials against salmonellosis in poultry

Online Journal of Animal and Feed Research
This study is a contribution to the search for alternatives to combat antibiotic resistance in Salmonella strains in poultry farming. The objective of this work is to highlight the main phytochemical compounds of 2 Ivorian medicinal plants (Mallotus oppositifolius and Kalanchoe crenata) and to evaluate their acute oral toxicity with a view to their use

Change in South Asian Summer Monsoon During MIS7, an Interglacial Complex of the Middle Pleistocene With High Obliquity Forcing

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The South Asian summer monsoon is a major component of the global climate system, yet its response to varying boundary conditions remains debated. We present pollen data from IODP Site U1446 (Bay of Bengal), recording vegetation changes in India's Core Monsoon Zone (CMZ) between 260 and 190 ka, spanning Marine Isotopic Stage (MIS) 7.

Within‐Island Diversification Generates Lineage‐Specific Climate Vulnerability: Insights From the Taiwan‐Endemic Formosan Duke

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Global climate change disproportionately threatens island endemics because their restricted ranges and limited dispersal opportunities constrain their ability to shift their distributions. Therefore, when developing conservation strategies for species, it is crucial to incorporate population genomics data with ecological information to ...

Influence of vapour pressure deficit and CO2 on the thermal sensitivity of stomatal function in tropical trees

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1075-1087, August 2026.
Examining the potential thermal sensitivity of the model parameter g1 when accounting for the additive nature of underlying components including CO2 compensation point (Г*) and the marginal water cost of plant carbon gain (λ), when assuming λ is dependent upon changes in the viscosity (inverse of fluidity) of water (η, Pa·s) and the solubility of CO2 ...

Plant‐Trait Syndromes and Environmental Filtering Drive Biomass Ecology in Resource‐Limited Forest Ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Aboveground biomass (AGB) in Pakistan's forests is primarily driven by functional dominance, with soil fertility playing a secondary but significant role, while climate effects vary across forest types. Mixed forests support the highest biomass and show the strongest influence of dominant traits, whereas climate constraints are more evident in ...

Predicting the Habitat Suitability for Endangered Tree Species Pterocarpus marsupium in Nepal, Using Ensemble Species Distribution Models

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Habitat suitability of Pterocarpus marsupium across Nepal for 2050 and 2090 under four distinct climate change scenarios, ranging from low to high emission pathways. ABSTRACT Pterocarpus marsupium Roxb., locally known as Bijaysal, is a high‐value tropical deciduous tree with a restricted and fragmented distribution in Nepal. We integrated 129 spatially
