Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.Many key ecosystem functions are affected by plant roots and their traits. However, understanding of the patterns in, and drivers of, root traits lags far behind equivalent knowledge of above‐ground tissues, particularly in boreal old growth forests. We surveyed community‐level root traits across 11 old growth forests spanning a wide latitudinal range ...

Reindeer grazing induces spatial and functional shifts in root systems of boreal pine forests
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.The spatial distribution of roots, laterally and vertically, is critical for nutrient and water uptake and for driving root‐associated carbon inputs and turnover. Large herbivores, such as reindeer, influence ecosystems belowground by altering aboveground vegetation composition and soil microclimate.

Spatiotemporal Variability of Water Transit Time Distribution Across an Alpine Stream Network
Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract Water transit time (TT), the time elapsed from its entrance into a catchment and its exit through a stream section, is a useful indicator of catchment transport dynamics. Its distribution (TTD) is typically estimated at a single cross section where tracer data are available.

Impact of harvest intensity on ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic fungal communities in forest soils
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3146-3160, October 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Low‐intensity tree harvesting has been proposed as a sustainable forest management practice to balance and preserve forest productivity, carbon storage and resilience to climate extremes. Soil fungi play a central role in driving tree performance and soil carbon storage,

Water Conservation Function of Different Types of Larix gmelini Forests in Da Hinggan Mountains
Shuitu baochi yanjiu, 2011 With the concerns of water conservation by forest,five major forest types of larch forests in Da Hinggan Mountains were selected to test their water-holding capacity.The results show as the follows:soil total porosity ranged from 55.58% to 77.45 ...

Multifactorial diagnosis of drought‐induced decline in Mediterranean conifer forests
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 10, October 2026.A multi‐proxy approach integrating radial growth, leaf morphology, stable isotopes, elemental composition and soil properties revealed interacting mechanisms underlying drought‐induced dieback in Mediterranean pine populations. Declining trees showed stronger drought impacts on growth, altered stomatal regulation, nutrient imbalances and accelerated ...

Ecology of Abandonment: Meadow Field Layer Vegetation After a Century of Overgrowth
Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, October/December 2026.A century of unmanaged succession in a Swedish wooded meadow at Vessers Udde. Approximately 70% of vascular plant species were lost as light‐demanding meadow specialists disappeared and shade‐tolerant spring geophytes came to dominate the forest understorey. Loss rates were much higher than colonisation rates documented across four resurveys.

Fertile Soils Increase Susceptibility of Pinus sylvestris to Cronartium pini
Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 5, October 2026.ABSTRACT Cronartium pini, Scots pine blister rust, is a rust fungus that has caused severe damage in both old and young Scots pine (P. sylvestris) forest stands in northern Fennoscandia. To understand the many drivers of these outbreaks we examined putative factors and their explanatory power of C.
