Trade‐offs between soil biodiversity and agricultural expansion: Evidence from litter decomposition dynamics in Madagascar

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2560-2574, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Home‐Field Advantage (HFA) theory—positing that litter decomposes faster at its site of origin—allows us to disentangle the respective influences of litter quality, soil biota composition, and microclimate on shifts in litter decomposition following land use conversion.

Long‐term changes in functional diversity and its implications for mammalian conservation and ecological restoration in a grassland ecosystem

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2379-2391, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Paleontological data provide information on natural environments prior to human influence, which are useful for tracking changes in ecosystem functioning through time. During the Late Pleistocene, about 10% of terrestrial mammalian species were extinct in South America.

Induced resistance of plants reduces their negative soil‐legacy effects on natives but not on naturalized aliens

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.
Plant resistance induced during soil conditioning altered subsequent soil‐legacy effects on plant growth. While conditioned soils reduced the performance of both native and naturalized alien plants, resistance induction largely eliminated the growth disadvantage of native species.

The loss of an Indigenous‐maintained She‐Oak woodland in southeast Australia

open access: yesGeographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2026.
A 2600‐year multi‐proxy palaeoecological record (pollen, charcoal, and sediment) from Balfour Swamp, east Gippsland, reveals the persistence of an open, grassy She‐Oak woodland maintained by GunaiKurnai. This vegetation community, resilient to climatic variability and fire, was lost following the disruption of Aboriginal land management and replaced by

Genetics of Flooding Tolerance in an F2 Miscanthus sacchariflorus ssp. lutarioriparius × M. sinensis Population

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
An experiment to map flooding tolerance in Miscanthus ×giganteus was conducted. Two phenotyping protocols (A and B) and different pipelines to call SNPs were used. TASSEL‐GBSv2 resulted in a genetic map with smaller QTL intervals than the other maps.
