The conditioning environment mediates soil biological legacies, while plant traits mediate corresponding responses among Medicago sativa cultivars

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 277-289, January 2026.
Alfalfa is the most widely cultivated perennial forage crop in the world, supporting livestock production and contributing to global food systems. However, soil degradation and declining productivity threaten the long‐term sustainability of alfalfa pastures.

Free‐access geospatial data and machine learning deliver high‐resolution soil salinity maps in the Sonoran Basin and Range

open access: yesVadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Soil salinity is a serious threat to crop productivity and is anticipated to increase in the coming decades, particularly in semi‐arid to arid agricultural regions. Accessible geospatial data and data mining techniques can enable high‐resolution mapping of soil salinity to improve predictions and soil management.

Combined volunteer and ecological network observations show broad‐scale temperature‐sensitivity patterns for deciduous plant flowering and leaf‐out times across the eastern USA

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
Phenological ‘big data’ encompassing over 100 species across the eastern USA show that leaf‐out and flowering occur earlier with warmer temperatures and that native species and individuals at high latitudes tend to have weaker temperature sensitivities than introduced species and more southern plants; these findings suggest adaptations within and ...

Microplastic and drought influence the positive effect of plant diversity on plant biomass production

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
Microplastic and drought influenced plant diversity–biomass relationships in a glasshouse grassland experiment. Microplastic reduced the shoot biomass of grasses and legumes, weakening the positive selection effects. In contrast, drought strongly suppressed the shoot biomass of legumes, resulting in negative complementarity and a negative net diversity
