A 3D Model of Ryegrass Shoot Architecture, Sward Light Interception and Photosynthesis
New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 4, August 2026.Increasing the photosynthetic capacity of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is required to improve the productivity of pastoral farming in temperate regions. A three‐dimensional (3D) model was constructed of the shoot growth of ryegrass based on plant morphological traits such as tiller angle, leaf angle, leaf width, number of tillers per plant ...

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Vaccinium, Cavendishia, and Macleania are typical genera of blueberries from the Ericaceae belt, a narrow ecosystem that connects the high Andean forest and páramo, where fragmentation makes the species more vulnerable to climate change. To answer the question of whether five related blueberry species could physiologically behave similarly in ...

Approaching the management and control of bovine digital dermatitis in a large dairy herd
Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, August 2026.Abstract An investigation at a large dairy farm was conducted in response to the farmer's concerns about a perceived increment in the prevalence of bovine digital dermatitis (BDD). An in‐parlour BDD scoring revealed an overall prevalence at foot level of 32%. The herd assessment included lesion analysis, evaluation of housing conditions and footbathing

Food, Energy, and Health Implications of Agrivoltaic Farms
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract The benefits of agrivoltaics (AV) are documented, with empirical evidence for their suitability for collocated energy generation, crop cultivation, and water savings, even for staple crops. What is lacking is a holistic modeling framework to design and optimize AV systems for specific crop types, micro‐environments, and panel configurations ...

Facilitation influences when trees grow, but not growth rate in a dry temperate forest
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2668-2684, August 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Accurately predicting the role of forests in the global carbon cycle requires a detailed understanding of the factors mediating the timing and magnitude of radial stem growth. While weather conditions and topo‐edaphic factors play a critical role in mediating short‐term

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.Alpine treeline ecotones display a variety of spatial patterns that are considered indicators of the processes governing treeline dynamics. Our findings suggest that the treeline form at this krummholz island treeline does not reliably reflect current processes governing seedling survival or tree stature, highlighting a potential limitation of ...

Cultural geography of heat: Artistic experiments with heat’s animacies
Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2026.A sustained, cultural geographical engagement with heat is long overdue. I advance this agenda by engaging with the work of contemporary artists. Artists are responding to uneven conditions of global heating by exploring heat’s animacies: how heat interweaves with the practices and textures of life.

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.Litter decomposition in mountainous forest ecosystems is an essential process that affects carbon and nutrient cycling. However, the contribution of litter decomposition to terrestrial ecosystems is difficult to estimate accurately because of the limited comparability of different studies and limited data on local microclimatic and non‐climatic factors.

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.Species distribution models are key to evaluate how climate change threatens European forests and tree species distributions. However, current models struggle to integrate ecophysiological processes. Mechanistic models are complex and have high parameter requirements.
