Drivers of Soil Community Composition in Apple Orchards: Insights From Environmental Metabarcoding

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
Despite uniform management practices, single orchards of the 26 studied had only a small part of total diversity of prokaryotes, protists and fungi. Community assembly was governed primarily by stochastic processes and turnover dominated community composition for all organismal groups. ABSTRACT Soil biodiversity in apple orchards plays a vital role for

Taxonomy‐Independent eDNA Approaches in Groundwaters: A Prospective Tool for Improved Ecological Assessments

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Groundwater continues to be managed predominantly as an abiotic resource for human use, a paradigm that overlooks the biological communities responsible for many indispensable ecosystem services and ultimately the integrity of the global water cycle.

Dietary flexibility and high arthropod availability prevent food limitation in a mountain population of breeding Northern Wheatears

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1629-1648, October 2026.
Mountain ecosystems are under strong environmental pressure and are considered highly vulnerable to climate change, which is likely to lead to forest expansion and loss of open alpine grasslands, threatening many specialized species. However, for most alpine birds, even basic ecological knowledge, such as their diet, remains limited, restricting our ...

Plant genotypic diversity and defoliation jointly shape root exudation, fungal communities, and carbon and nitrogen cycling

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 1, Page 324-339, October 2026.
Experimental design. Summary Intraspecific plant diversity is a major component of community diversity, yet its role in shaping plant–microbial interactions and soil functioning remains poorly understood. In particular, plant genotypic diversity may modulate ecosystem responses to defoliation, a key driver of ecosystem processes in grazed systems.

Ectomycorrhizal Cortinariaceae species dominate class II peroxidase gene expression in a boreal forest soil

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 1, Page 400-413, October 2026.
Share of transcripts and ITS2 sequence for each gene families among identified fungal contigs and OTUs. Summary Boreal forest ecosystems constitute a large terrestrial reservoir of carbon. In these nitrogen‐limited environments, release of nutrients through decomposition of soil organic matter is of fundamental importance.
