The role of Alpine botanical gardens in integrating germplasm bank collections and mission

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 680-692, March 2026.
This study underscores the vital role of Alpine botanical gardens (ABGs) in safeguarding Europe's alpine biodiversity amid climate change and habitat loss. By acting as living laboratories and reservoirs of plant genetic resources, ABGs bridge ex situ and in situ conservation, supporting ecosystem resilience and informing restoration strategies.

Short‐term responses in weed spatial patterns during early adoption of conservation agriculture practices

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2627-2638, March 2026.
Weed spatial patterns and temporal stability were shaped by species life forms and the cropping systems implemented in the plots. Weed aggregation was more pronounced in conservation agriculture and among perennials. Patch stability was primarily governed by species life form and was stronger among perennials. Abstract BACKGROUND The aggregated spatial

Influence of Fertilization on the Phytoremediation of Lead‐Contaminated Soils Using Tropical Grasses

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 3, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT Lead is an element intensively used by human activities, representing serious risks to food security due to soil contamination, making it essential to implement control strategies to mitigate its harmful effects. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of soil fertilization on the growth and lead accumulation of grasses used ...

Seasonal variation in wild pig (Sus scrofa) diet revealed by DNA metabarcoding

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
Using DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, we investigated the diet of wild pigs at an extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem within Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arkansas. We found that wild pig diet was highly diverse and included at least 74 plant families and 106 genera and 23 species of vertebrates.

Adaptive Significance of Nickel Hyperaccumulation by Plants

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
Metal hyperaccumulation may enhance plant fitness through multiple, non‐exclusive mechanisms, including elemental defense against herbivores and pathogens, altered pollinator interactions, and increased reproductive performance in metal‐rich soils. Metals may also affect plant–plant interactions via elemental allelopathy and improve stress tolerance ...
