Long‐term trends in greenness in the alpine zone of northeastern North America from remote sensing

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Alpine zones above treeline in the Appalachian Mountains and adjacent ranges of northeastern North America support distinctive ecological communities that thrive where conditions are too harsh for trees to grow. These communities differ from alpine zones elsewhere on the continent and are a regionally important source of floristic biodiversity,

Predicting drought‐induced tree mortality in Swiss beech forests hinges upon predisposing and inciting factors

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The recent increase in the frequency and severity of drought‐induced tree mortality events in low‐elevation, mesic European forests poses considerable challenges to forest management and requires an understanding of its causes. Here, we propose a novel, parsimonious framework for integrating the factors underlying drought‐induced tree ...

Proximate Climate Drivers of Beaver Pond Occupancy and Range Expansion in Arctic Alaska

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
To understand why beavers are colonizing the Arctic, we evaluated which climate drivers underpin beaver pond dynamics. Warm Junes, mild winters, green summers, and wet springs facilitate pond establishment. Rapid improvement in these conditions across recent decades provides mechanistic support that climate change is driving beaver colonization of the ...

Spatial Patterns of Soil Properties Affect Potential Range Shifts of Temperate Forest Biodiversity Under Climate Change

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Integrating edaphic properties in species distribution models reveals that climate‐driven projections may overpredict suitable habitat and range shifts of forest species. Soil heterogeneity reduces suitable habitats, suggesting more conservative responses to future warming for many species across elevational gradients.

Tracing change in the public perception of plants: insights from archives and social media in China

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1853-1871, September 2026.
As urbanization accelerates, historic gardens serve as vital cultural treasures that offer spiritual and cultural support to the public. This study proposes an innovative approach that merges historical records from the Qing Dynasty with contemporary social media data to explore changes in public perceptions of these gardens.
