Year‐round pollinator visitation of ornamental plants in Mediterranean urban parks

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 702-715, May 2026.
Pollinators visiting ornamental plants in urban parks remained diverse throughout the year. They were represented by wild bees (42%), honeybees (37%), flies (18%), butterflies (2%) and beetles (1%). Both native and non‐native plants attracted pollinators.

Root Traits Predict the Soil Functional Responses of Subtropical Plant Species to Experimental Drought

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Plant species' habitat preference and drought tolerance traits were not the primary factors driving interspecific differences in soil functional responses to drought. Instead, fine root traits—particularly their chemical traits—played more critical roles in determining these variations.

Phytoremediated marine sediments as suitable peat-free growing media for production of red robin photinia (Photinia x fraseri) [PDF]

Chemosphere, 2018
Sediments dredged by an industrial port, slightly contaminated by heavy metals and petroleoum hydrocarbons, were phytoremediated and used as peat-free growing media for the red robin photinia (Photinia x fraseri L.). Plants were grown on sediment only (S), sediment mixed with composted pruning residues (S + PR), sediment fertilized with controlled ...

Response of Four Shrubs to Drought Stress and Comprehensive Evaluation of Their Drought Resistance

Agriculture
Drought stress is a crucial factor limiting plant survival and growth, especially during the seedling establishment stage. A deep understanding of different plants’ responses to drought stress and their drought resistance is of great significance for ...

High‐quality litter drives a stronger home‐field advantage of leaf decomposition in young plantations

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 97-112, January 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Home‐field advantage (HFA) describes the tendency of litter to decompose accelerated in its native habitat than in other environments. Although the interactions between soil fauna and microbial communities during litter decomposition are well documented, the specific ...

Commodity risk assessment of Castanea sativa plants from the United Kingdom

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘High risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by graftwood, whips, bare root plants and potted ...

Disturbance Dynamics and Its Effects on Carbon in Human‐Impacted Mountain Forests in Northwestern Yunnan, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
Identifying and quantifying natural and anthropogenic disturbances at fine spatial scales is critical to assess the role of forests in climate change mitigation. Using tree rings, fire scars, satellite imagery, official records, and interviews, we reconstructed historical disturbances and identified fires, logging events, landslides, and icy ...

The emission of pollutants from ornamental shrubs during forest fires

Fire and Materials, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 585-598, August/September 2025.
Abstract This study investigates the combustion behavior, emissions, and aerosol production of four plant species: Laurus nobilis, Cistus monspeliensis, Photinia fraseri, and Cupressus sempervirens. The Heat Release Rate (HRR) and Smoke Production Rate (SPR) were measured, revealing that Cupressus sempervirens had the highest HRR and longest flame ...
