Mystery and misery of locally‐delivered drug therapy in periodontics. Historical concepts and current state

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract The primary objective is to critically analyze approaches to local therapy for periodontal disease, particularly in light of its well‐established systemic implications. We specifically address common misconceptions and overestimations regarding the potential of local treatments in contrast to their actual clinical effectiveness.

Fast-decaying tree litter reduces the temperature sensitivity of soil carbon decomposition by increasing microbial necromass carbon

Geoderma
Improvements in stocks and stability of forest soil organic carbon can be achieved through the management of tree species. Given the long lifespan of trees and their role as the keystone species in forested ecosystems, decisions regarding tree species ...

Priming Effects on Soil Organic Matter Mineralization by Carbon Substrates: A Global Meta‐Analysis [PDF]

Global change biology.
Positive priming effect is a common phenomenon in soil ecosystems, with plant residues inducing the highest average priming effect, followed by root exudates and biochar. ABSTRACT Priming effects (PE) on soil organic matter (SOM) mineralization depend strongly on the type of carbon substrates added. It is crucial to understand the PE induced by various

Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Life after death in the pelagic: Non‐predatory zooplankton mortality and the “ghost carbon pump”

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2026.
Abstract The biological carbon pump is traditionally framed as a trophically mediated process in which zooplankton mortality is attributed mainly to predation, routing carbon through fecal pellets and higher trophic levels before export. Increasing evidence, however, shows that nonpredatory mortality—caused by different environmental stressors—accounts

The biology of habitat dominance; can microbes behave as weeds? [PDF]

, 2013
Competition between microbial species is a product of, yet can lead to a reduction in, the microbial diversity of specific habitats. Microbial habitats can resemble ecological battlefields where microbial cells struggle to dominate and/or annihilate each

Disentangling the Roles of Microbial Traits and Mineral Protection in Regulating Temperature Sensitivity of Soil Carbon Decomposition in Eroded and Depositional Agricultural Soils

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The temperature sensitivity of soil organic carbon decomposition (Q10) governs the fate of soil carbon under global warming. Although erosion redistributes soil carbon at scales comparable to the terrestrial carbon sink, how erosion reshapes Q10 across large regional scales remains elusive.

Microbial community assembly and evolution in subseafloor sediment [PDF]

, 2017
Bacterial and archaeal communities inhabiting the subsurface seabed live under strong energy limitation and have growth rates that are orders of magnitude slower than laboratory-grown cultures.

Soil texture prevails over vegetation change in determining soil organic carbon storage in an African savanna

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 4, April 2026.
We compared soil organic carbon (SOC) across six savanna–forest boundaries in South Africa. Surprisingly, savanna and forest soils contained comparable SOC stocks. While vegetation change shifted the carbon source from C4‐grasses to C3‐trees, total carbon storage was driven by local soil texture (clay/silt), proving that increasing tree cover does not ...

Soil Microbial Communities Adjust Thermal Traits and Carbon Allocation in Response to Climate Manipulations in Subtropical Forest and Cropland

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.
Warming increases warm‐adapted microbial taxa and shifts microbial thermal traits toward higher minimum temperature. These adaptations reduce modeled annual soil CO2 emissions by 36%, indicating that microbial thermal trait integration is essential for predicting soil carbon responses to climate change.
