Multi‐decadal woodland recovery after land abandonment: environmental constraints on passive rewilding in Mediterranean landscapes

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Across the Mediterranean Basin, land abandonment has opened large areas to passive rewilding, raising questions about the pace and variability of secondary succession in these landscapes and how ecological and abiotic gradients mediate vegetation recovery in post‐agricultural landscapes. Objectives This study aims to quantify long‐

Reciprocal relations shape cultural landscapes: Women's environmental stewardship in Ait Bouguemez (High Atlas, Morocco)

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2847-2865, August 2026.
Abstract Mountain social–ecological systems encompass steep ecological gradients and diverse cultural practices, yet the relative roles of these factors in shaping mountain landscapes remain underexplored. In particular, the knowledge and practices of women in coproducing biocultural landscapes are often invisible in the academic literature. In the Ait

Flushing of Subsurface Soil Nitrate as the Primary Cause of Increased Stream Nitrate During Storm Events

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The export flux of nitrate from forested catchments via streams typically increases during storms due to simultaneous increases in the nitrate concentration and flow rate. Potential nitrate sources responsible for this increase include rainwater and soil nitrate.

Identifying climatic refugia: Wet and complex habitats act as buffer for birds during severe droughts

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Wet habitats and complex vegetation, therefore, are critical for providing stable microsites and water resources, underscoring the need to preserve and enhance the resilience of these habitats to support biodiversity during extreme events. Our study provides valuable insights for conservation strategies that should focus on identifying refugia ...

Spiders in the mosaic: How habitat heterogeneity and structure drive local spider diversity in a Mediterranean forest

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 810-826, August 2026.
We assessed alpha‐ and beta‐diversity patterns of spiders across different forests and across vegetation layers (ground, shrub, low canopy) at local spatial scales across various Mediterranean forest types. Across forests, alpha‐diversity increased with habitat heterogeneity, which also drove beta‐diversity patterns across plots .

Key sources of uncertainty in process‐based modeling of live fuel moisture content

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 1723-1737, August 2026.
Location of the selected live fuel moisture content (LFMC) sampling sites. Summary Process‐based models that mechanistically represent water‐carbon balances in the atmosphere‐soil–plant continuum are an attractive tool for monitoring live fuel moisture content (LFMC) dynamics, a key variable when assessing fire danger.

Combined phylogenetic and geographic data can predict plant–pest interactions with high accuracy

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2107-2123, August 2026.
Schematic overview of the study pipeline. Summary Non‐native plant pests can pose major threats to biodiversity, with destructive ecological and economic consequences. The ability to predict future threats would allow limited resources to be concentrated on managing the most serious risks. We built a Bayesian model to predict hosts at risk from Agrilus,
