Effect of Disturbance on Population Structure and Regeneration of Abies fargesii var. faxoniana (Rehder & E.H.Wilson): Mild Disturbance Promotes Growth, Severe Disturbance Leads to Decline

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Disturbance critically affects population structure and stability, and that appropriate disturbance can promote population development. The Abies faxoniana population under mild disturbance regenerated well, and the remaining young individuals were able to support population stability and growth, while populations under moderate and severe disturbance ...

A New Pencil‐Tailed Tree Mouse Chiropodomys wandingensis sp. nov. (Rodentia: Muridae) From Yunnan, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
The genus Chiropodomys has seen no new species described since the 1980s. Through integrated morphological and molecular analysis, a specimen from Yunnan, China, is identified as a distinct new species, C. wandingensis sp. nov., supported by significant genetic divergence from its closest relatives.

Geographical Variation in the Gut Microbiota of Duttaphrynus melanostictus: Relative Contributions of Environmental Filtering and Host Physiological Modulation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We examined gut microbial communities in 385 Asian common toads (Duttaphrynus melanostictus) from 14 populations across southern China, using 16S rRNA sequencing to assess the roles of climate, topography, and host traits in shaping community structure.

Optimized nitrogen management enhances lodging resistance by modulating stem physicochemical traits in oats

BMC Plant Biology
Background Oat (Avena sativa L.) is a critical dual-purpose crop for grain and forage, yet its yield potential is frequently constrained by stem lodging exacerbated by sub-optimal nitrogen (N) management.

Prediction of the Potential Distribution of Cirsium vulgare in China Under Climate Change Scenarios Based on Its First Recorded Occurrences in Southern China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study aimed to determine its potential distribution under climate change scenarios using a MaxEnt model and Multivariate Environmental Similarity Surface (MESS) analysis based on the new Yunnan records and current global occurrences. This study elucidates the invasion pattern of C.

Justice in coexistence: Pastoralism and large carnivores on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2186-2199, July 2026.
Abstract The conflict between livestock husbandry and large carnivore conservation presents significant challenges in grassland ecosystems worldwide. Achieving sustainable coexistence among herders, livestock and large carnivores requires reconciling diverse perspectives and interests through equitable, inclusive and fair processes that address both ...

Response of Elymus sibiricus (Siberian Wildryegrass) to Combined Application of Nitrogen and Phosphorus during Aging on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau

Agronomy
Elymus sibiricus plays a crucial role in ecological protection and animal husbandry. However, after many years of growth, the biomass of E. sibiricus decreases, and the plants degrade.

Sharing landscapes with wildlife: Conflict and coexistence between high nature value pastoral systems and large carnivores

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2006-2017, July 2026.
Abstract High nature value (HNV) pastoral systems, that is those maintained by herding, transhumance and extensive grazing practices, are recognised as cornerstones of European biodiversity, cultural heritage and ecosystem service provision. Yet these systems are currently under significant pressure from a range of economic, social and environmental ...

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Carbon Balance Considering Multi‐Dimensional Urbanization Across 366 Cities in China

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Low‐carbon sustainable development has become essential for China to achieve its carbon neutrality goals. However, most existing carbon balance (CB) studies overlook carbon quota allocation that reflects development needs during urbanization, leading to assessments of urban low‐carbon development that may lack scientific rigour and fairness ...
