Self‐pruning in tree crowns is influenced by functional strategies and neighbourhood interactions

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 9, Page 2234-2250, September 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract As canopy closure imposes light limitation in forests, the dieback of trees' lower branches, known as self‐pruning, defines their live crown base and shapes the structure and function of entire stands.

Plant–soil microbe adaptive strategies reshape soil respiration components under multi‐year precipitation frequency reduction and nitrogen addition in a semi‐arid grassland

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 9, Page 2370-2382, September 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant–microbe interactions involve complex resource‐use trade‐offs, yet their responses to combined changes in precipitation frequency and nitrogen (N) deposition remain poorly understood.

Snowmelt timing alters the phenology but not the performance of an understory spring ephemeral plant

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 9, Page 2289-2300, September 2025.
Early snowmelt near trees, known as ‘thaw circles’, may lengthen growing seasons and explain why some forest understory plants cluster around trees. However, our field experiment revealed that extended growing seasons with early snowmelt did not improve the performance of a common spring ephemeral plant.

Early departures and delayed arrivals: Holocene dynamics of temperate tree species in the boreal‐temperate ecotone

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 9, Page 2460-2475, September 2025.
As temperate tree species require warmer temperatures than boreal species, some thermophilous species, such as white pine, increased in abundance at their northern edge during historically warmer periods. Our data reveal that not all temperate species behaved accordingly: maples were scarce during the warm mid‐Holocene, while their abundance increased ...

Early detection of plant community responses to climate warming along mountain roads

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 9, Page 2575-2589, September 2025.
Plants are rapidly shifting to higher elevations along mountain roads in Switzerland. These shifts result in a significant community warming of 0.13°C within 10 years. However, because species gained or lost in communities tend to have low cover, this signal is only detectable in unweighted estimates of community‐inferred temperatures—highlighting the ...
