Biochar Production From Invasive Alien Plants: A Pathway to Sustainable Biomass Management and Resource Recovery

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 36, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Across the world, invasive alien plants (IAPs) threaten biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, ecosystem services, and livelihoods. A potentially sustainable method for controlling IAPs is to convert their biomass into biochar, which reduces invasion pressure while producing useful products.

Temporal dynamics of soil quality under Prosopis juliflora afforestation in drylands

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Afforestation in drylands is an effective approach to mitigating soil degradation and erosion while promoting ecological restoration in disturbed ecosystems. This study evaluated the long‐term effects of Prosopis juliflora afforestation on soil physical, chemical, and biological properties in Iranian drylands.

Dovetailing the Genetic, Developmental and Functional Bases of the Adaptation of Stomatal Traits to Climate

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 9, September 2026.
For diverse ecotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana grown in a common garden, we tested a three‐tier approach to clarifying the drivers of gmax. Our analyses yielded novel findings for this wide‐ranging species: a larger gmax was achieved through greater epidermal allocation to stomata, via a higher stomatal index and smaller epidermal pavement cells; larger ...

The complex interaction between mammalian herbivores, climate, soil and fire has shaped the evolution and distribution of plant spinescence across biogeographical realms

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3640-3655, September 2026.
Evolution of spinescence in mimosoid legumes. Summary The evolutionary arms race between plants and herbivores led to numerous plant adaptations, including spinescence. However, the balance between herbivory and abiotic conditions in the evolution of spinescence remains unclear. We integrated phylogenetic, geographic, and trait data for 2686 species of

Energy Channel Coupling by Mid‐Trophic Level Fish Challenges the Landscape Theory for Food Web Architecture in a Large Tropical Lake Ecosystem

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Lake Turkana, a large tropical East African Great Lake, is an ideal model for examining how consumer fish species may mediate the coupling of fast and slow energy channels within food webs. We explored the ecological niche dynamics of five important Lake Turkana fish species across ontogeny and used a Bayesian isotope mixing model approach to identify ...

Nanolignocellulose extracted from environmentally undesired prosopis juliflora

, 2019
Rising sustainability demands the search of new low-market-value sources of lignocellulosic biomass as raw material for nanocellulose processing. In this paper, we accordingly propose the isolation of nanocellulose from Prosopis juliflora, an abundant ...

Higher transpiration in plant invasive species impacts soil water

Environmental and Sustainability Indicators
Studies on plant invasives are largely focused on their impacts on plant community structure, native biodiversity, ecosystem services, and economy, but their ecosystem effects as high water-spenders are underestimated. Here, we report contrasting results
