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

open access: yesRestoration 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.

Viewpoint: on rangeland carrying capacity.

open access: yes, 1997
A new typology shows that the notion of rangeland carrying capacity has considerable ambiguity even under conditions of high environmental certainty.

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

open access: yesRestoration 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

open access: yesClimate 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

Gendered Relational Climate Information Services and Kenyan Pastoralist Adaptation

open access: yesClimate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
Climate Information Services in Kenyan pastoralist communities operate through socio‐technical arrangements shaped by gendered power relations and material infrastructures. Access, interpretation, and use of forecasts depend on legitimacy within communal arenas, gatekeeping through devices and institutions, and translation processes aligned with ...

Genomic and phenomic prediction models improve selection accuracy for complex traits in alfalfa

open access: yesThe Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Predictive breeding has been proposed as an effective approach to accelerate genetic gain for complex traits. Genomic prediction (GP) models have been developed in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) for key traits in the last decade. More recently, phenomic prediction (PP) models have been proposed as a low‐cost, high‐throughput alternative to GP in

Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Adult Abundance and Larval Host Plant Use in the Ord River Irrigation Area, Western Australia

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) is a highly polyphagous lepidopteran pest; however, little is known about its seasonal population dynamics or larval host plant use in northern Australia. Improved understanding of the ecology of S. litura is increasingly important given the anticipated expansion of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton production in
