Frequent Prescribed Burning Contributes to the Sequestration of Soil Carbon in South African Mesic Rangeland Systems

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Historically, subsistence pastoralists and ranchers have used fire as a management tool in grassy rangelands for millennia. The capacity of these ecosystems to function as carbon sinks depends heavily on management interventions. Understanding optimal fire return intervals is essential for determining how prescribed burning influences long ...

The influence of a conservation‐based grazing program on greater sage‐grouse habitat selection

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2025.
We assessed sage‐grouse hen selection for plant functional type, topography, and pastures enrolled in a conservation‐based‐grazing program (CGP) and found that they strongly selected higher shrub cover, flatter slopes, and less tree cover. During nesting, brood‐rearing, and winter seasons, they selected pastures that were enrolled in the CGP regardless

Drier, more seasonal climates strengthen coordination of hydraulic, leaf economic and reproductive strategies in subtropical forest tree communities

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 6, June 2025.
Trade‐offs relating to resource acquisition and conservation, reproduction and longevity generate considerable trait variation among co‐occurring tree species, yet little is known about how the nature and strength of these trade‐offs shift along gradients of resource availability.

High‐quality genome of allotetraploid Avena barbata provides insights into the origin and evolution of B subgenome in Avena

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 67, Issue 6, Page 1515-1532, June 2025.
A high‐quality genome sequence of the tetraploid wild oat Avena barbata provides crucial genetic information for the Avena B‐genome, allowing clarification of the evolutionary trajectories of the four subgenomes within Avena and identification of numerous key genes related to environmental adaptability, thus offering valuable resources for oat breeding

Uncovering the role of solar radiation and water stress factors in constraining decadal intra‐site spring phenology variability in diverse ecosystems across the Northern Hemisphere

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 5, Page 1986-2003, June 2025.
Summary The spring phenology has advanced significantly over recent decades with climate change, impacting large‐scale biogeochemical cycles, climate feedback, and other essential ecosystem processes. Although numerous prognostic models have been developed for spring phenology, regional analyses of the optimality (OPT) strategy model that incorporate ...

Satellite‐Derived Productivity Outputs for Land Degradation Assessment Vary With Biome and Rainfall

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 36, Issue 9, Page 2913-2927, 30 May 2025.
ABSTRACT Estimates of the extent of land degradation vary dramatically. To quantify the extent and location of land degradation globally, the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) asks member countries to report on land degradation every four years, providing crucial baseline and change data.
