Toward an art of genomic selection in vegetable breeding

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Genomic selection (GS) is a powerful strategy for accelerating genetic gain in plant breeding. While in recent years GS has been widely adopted in breeding programs for agronomic crops, its implementation in vegetable breeding has been comparatively limited.

Assessing the Carbon Budget Dynamics of Terrestrial Ecosystems in the Amur River Basin

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
In the context of climate change, understanding the carbon cycle of terrestrial ecosystem is important for projecting the future climate. Toward this end, it is essential to determine the roles of different terrestrial ecosystems as either carbon sources

High-frequency productivity estimates for a lake from free-water CO2 concentration measurements [PDF]

, 2018
Lakes are important actors in biogeochemical cycles and a powerful natural source of CO2. However, they are not yet fully integrated in carbon global budgets, and the carbon cycle in the water is still poorly understood.

Life on the Edge: Ecosystem Features of Lakes Across a Mountain–Prairie Elevation Gradient in Western Canada

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 1, January‐February 2026.
ABSTRACT Ecological transition zones such as mountain elevation gradients can influence the function and productivity of lakes through changes in climatic characteristics and catchment composition (i.e., land use/land cover). However, surveys of limnological features along such ecological transition zones show variable patterns, making it difficult to ...

Exploring the Influencing Factors of Net Ecosystem Productivity (NEP) Based on Random Forest and SHAP

Academic Journal of Science and Technology
As global climate change intensifies, Net Ecosystem Productivity (NEP) serves as a crucial indicator for measuring the carbon absorption and release of ecosystems, playing a vital role in understanding the carbon cycle and shaping climate policy.

A Terrestrial Ecosystem Carbon Sink Assessment Model Considering Forest Age Dynamics (CEVSA‐AgeD)

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
The large variation in net ecosystem productivity (NEP) with forest age was dominated by the dynamics of net primary productivity (NPP)–which in turn was determined by the different response slopes of gross primary productivity (GPP) and autotrophic ...

Spatiotemporal dynamics in assimilated-LAI phenology and its impact on subtropical bamboo forest productivity

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021
Phenology has a significant effect on forest growth and directly affects the forest ecosystem carbon cycle. Bamboo forests possess strong carbon sequestration capacities.

Flow variability and macroinvertebrates jointly regulate stream periphyton and metabolism: Insights from experimental stream mesocosms

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Climate change profoundly alters riverine flow regimes and community composition, affecting key ecosystem functions. We used an experimental mesocosm approach to examine how gradual flow velocity reduction (Experiment 1) and flushing events (Experiment 2) influence periphyton community composition and metabolism, with and without a ...

Upscaling key ecosystem functions across the conterminous United States by a water-centric ecosystem model [PDF]

, 2011
We developed a water-centric monthly scale simulation model (WaSSI-C) by integrating empirical water and carbon flux measurements from the FLUXNET network and an existing water supply and demand accounting model (WaSSI).

Food web complexity alters phytoplankton persistence and resilience to nutrient pulses in experimental ecosystems

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract In aquatic ecosystems, greater food web complexity is theorized to increase persistence and resilience of primary production to pulse disturbances, yet experimental evidence is limited. We simulated two storm‐induced pulse disturbances by adding nutrients (~ 3%–5% increase in ambient concentrations) to three ponds with low, intermediate, and ...
