When resilience is not enough: 2022 extreme marine heatwave threatens climatic refugia for a habitat‐forming Mediterranean octocoral

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We are convinced that this paper can contribute to a better comprehension of the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems. We describe how Marine Heat Waves, which have been increasing in frequency, extent and intensity during the last decades, can negatively affect habitat‐forming species over time. Abstract Climate change is impacting ecosystems

Mediterranean octocoral populations exposed to marine heatwaves are less resilient to disturbances

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that marine heat waves decrease the resilience of Mediterranean octocorals to further disturbances. Abstract The effects of climate change are now more pervasive than ever. Marine ecosystems have been particularly impacted by climate change, with marine heatwaves (MHWs) being a strong driver of mass mortality events.

Forest cover enhances pest control by birds and bats independently of vineyard management intensity

Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Our results highlight the importance of bats and birds in reducing herbivory and increasing economic benefits in vineyards. Their presence and foraging activity can be promoted by connected landscapes incorporating hedgerows and small groups of trees as well as native, deciduous forest patches that can potentially increase the amount of food sources ...

Neglecting non‐vascular plants leads to underestimation of grassland plant diversity loss under experimental nutrient addition

Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.
In nine grassland sites in Europe and North America, nutrient addition caused a larger relative decline in non‐vascular plant (NVP) than vascular plant species richness. Hence, not accounting for NVPs can lead to underestimation of losses in plant diversity in response to continued nutrient pollution of grasslands.

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*

Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.

Spatially nested species distribution models (N‐SDM): An effective tool to overcome niche truncation for more robust inference and projections

Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.
N‐SDMs are key tools to develop untruncated regional climate change forecasts of species distributions at fine resolution over restricted extents. While several N‐SDM approaches were proposed, there is currently no universal solution suggesting that further developments and testing are crucial if we are to derive robust future projections of species ...

Carboxylate release as a nutrient‐acquisition strategy in mycorrhizal plant species in phosphorus‐impoverished environments

Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.
Many mycorrhizal plant species very likely depended on root carboxylate release to acquire P at the P‐impoverished study sites. Arbuscular mycorrhizal species exhibited a less conservative nutrient‐utilisation strategy with higher leaf [P] than cluster‐rooted non‐mycorrhizal species and accessed more inorganic N.

Climatic disequilibrium modulates canopy service across abiotic stress gradients

Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.
The results presented indicate that abiotic stressors, combined with climatic disequilibrium, modulate the canopy service. Consequently, under future climate change scenarios that may increase stress and climatic disequilibrium, canopy service will become crucial for the maintenance of the recruiting community.
