Compost legacy effects in active roadside restoration: Medium‐term shifts in plant succession
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April/June 2026.Roadside restoration experiment established on volcanic tephra following road construction in Andean Patagonia. A single application of municipal (MC) or biosolids (BC) compost rapidly increased plant cover compared with untreated controls (C) but led to distinct, exotic‐dominated plant communities over 6 years.

Rock Particles Promote Dew Formation: Aiming to Explain Ambiguous Published Findings
Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 3, April/May 2026.ABSTRACT The role played by rock particles (RPs) in dew formation and their effect on nonrainfall water (NRW) is controversial. RPs may affect the amounts of NRW that accumulate on/under the RPs. While some scholars maintain that RPs increase NRW, other argue to the contrary, a conclusion that was apparently supported following measurements with ...

Evaluating cultivars for pollinator gardens
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Pollinator gardening is a rapidly growing community‐based conservation movement, yet evidence‐based guidelines for practice are largely missing. In particular, it is unclear whether cultivars of flowering plants (i.e., horticultural varieties)‐can support pollinators as effectively as their wild‐type counterparts.
