Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are key components of soil ecosystems and promising tools for ecological restoration. Mosses, as important biocrust constituents, contribute to ecosystem functioning but often fail to establish after inoculation due to harsh environmental constraints.

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.

Ambition without alignment: Pollinators in the EU Nature Restoration Law
Review of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, EarlyView.Abstract Pollinators are essential for life on Earth. They enable the reproduction of most flowering plants and support biodiversity as well as food systems. However, their numbers are in great decline. Research finds a continuing decrease in pollinating insects each year. This article reviews whether EU Law is fit to address this challenge.

Plastic litter threatening marine biodiversity in Italy
Marine litter, particularly plastics from abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded fishing gear, pose a severe global threat to marine ecosystems and significantly impact on marine biodiversity. To investigate this issue, we used digital media platforms such as Google, Facebook, and Instagram to locate pages associated with organizations and communities

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cryptic marine species complexes with plastic morphology, shallow divergence, and broad distributions are among the hardest taxonomic problems in zoology. The Ostrea stentina complex, reported across the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Indo‐Pacific, is a striking example. We present the first topotype‐anchored integrative revision of this complex,
