Restoration ecology in conflict along the Colorado front range

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) is a challenge to restoration in western North America. It attracts the attention of academic and government research scientists, weed managers, and chemical companies. Attempts to control it cause conflicts among these groups.

Native seed mix functional composition determines native plant recruitment and competition against invasive annual grass Bromus tectorum

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The invasion of the winter annual grass Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) reduces native plant biodiversity and increases wildfire risk in western North America. Seed‐based restoration often fails to increase native plant recruitment in degraded, Cheatgrass‐invaded areas.

CrustCheck: a conceptual framework for interpreting biocrust trait–function relationships in drylands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Biocrusts are increasingly recognized for their contribution to soil stability, hydrology, nutrient cycling, and energy balance in drylands, yet practical field methods for assessing functional roles are limited. Existing approaches typically rely on cover estimates, taxonomic identification, or laboratory analyses, providing ...

Biocrust restoration in novel climates: assisted migration, habitat amelioration, and varied community composition as climate‐smart techniques

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Successful restoration of terrestrial drylands depends on stable, fertile soils that retain water. These functions are provided by biological soil crusts (biocrust), suggesting their reestablishment is a critical step in dryland restoration.

Addressing multiple management goals during roadside restoration: reducing weed invasion and fire risk while enhancing native plants and pollinator habitat in semiarid, invaded grasslands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Roadside vegetation management efforts often target a single desirable outcome; however, we frequently have multiple management goals for restoration. Multiple goals may be achieved concurrently, but the efficacy of roadside revegetation methods is largely unclear, especially when multiple methods are combined.

Prioritizing Inclusive Practices for Rural Women Smallholder Farmers Participation in Climate Change Adaptation and Ecological Education in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
Rural women smallholder farmers face climate change impacts alongside sociocultural barriers, limited resources, and restricted decision‐making power. A mixed‐methods review and participatory workshops identified 16 adaptation strategies and 13 inclusion practices, highlighting variation in stakeholder priorities. Organizational membership emerged as a

Warming‐Induced Shifts in Relative Humidity Reshape Global Soil Organic Carbon Storage

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
We developed a four‐dimensional deep learning framework for predicting global soil organic carbon (SOC). It generates spatially explicit, soil depth‐resolved, and temporally connected SOC estimates. ABSTRACT Soil organic carbon (SOC) underpins food production, ecosystem functioning, and climate regulation.
