Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.Resurvey studies in mountain forests of the Tatra Mountains (Central Europe) show that plant diversity has increased over the past century, particularly at lower elevations. These shifts were associated more with increased nitrogen deposition and reduced grazing pressure than with direct climate warming.

Automated quantification of fine root production from minirhizotron image time series
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 758-767, March 2026.Abstract Plant root growth accounts for a major part of the net primary production in grassland and forest ecosystems and influences the global carbon and nutrient cycles. Measuring the production of roots is inherently difficult, prone to inconsistencies and time‐consuming. Notably, there are currently no methods yet to automate this task.

Flowering Asynchrony and Temporal Mate Restriction in Tropical Peat Swamp Forest Trees
Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.Tropical peat swamp forest trees flower asynchronously, restricting mating opportunities between conspecifics. Using an 18‐year dataset from Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, we show that while the same individual trees tend to flower together through time, there is enough turnover in which trees flower contemporaneously that lifetime mate restriction and

Determinants of Terrestrial and Limnic Species Richness in Germany
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Biodiversity is increasingly threatened by human impacts. While abiotic conditions are well known to shape species richness, the role of human activities remains less clear. We examined how abiotic and human factors influence terrestrial and limnic species richness in a densely populated region with a long land‐use history.

Orchids in the Open: Understanding Biodiversity Beyond Madagascar's Forests
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Orchids make up 8% of Madagascar's vascular plant species richness and are typically associated with the island's forests. Yet most of the island is covered by open ecosystems, long dismissed as degraded. This perception has contributed to their neglect, limiting our understanding of species ecology and hindering conservation action in ...
