Pollination Under Pressure: Grazing and Nutrient Enrichment Reshape Arctic Pollinator Communities and Interaction Networks

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Grazing exclusion reshaped Arctic flower‐visitor communities, increased plant‐pollinator interactions, and altered interaction networks, while nutrient enrichment had weaker, context‐dependent effects. Together the two drivers produced both independent and interactive effects, with tundra grasslands showing the greatest sensitivity to environmental ...

Reconfiguring biofortification strategies to transform food systems and address micronutrient deficiency of the 21st century

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2511-2547, August 2026.
This review explores how to make staple foods and horticultural crops more nutritious, including how artificial intelligence‐based screening of gene banks helps deploy nutritionally rich germplasm into breeding. Genome editing can help develop crops richer in minerals, vitamins, and health‐promoting compounds, supporting healthier diets and more ...

Traditional Micropatches, Plant Diversity, and Local Perceptions of Rangeland Degradation in Northeastern Ethiopia

open access: yesJournal of Landscape Ecology
In East Africa, Ethiopia’s rangelands constitute about 64 % of lowland areas, serving as primary feed resources for pastoral communities. However, these rangelands face severe degradation due to overgrazing, climate variability, human disturbance, and ...

Herbicide protection seed coating technology for improving restoration success in Great Basin sagebrush plant communities

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 6, August 2026.
Abstract Introduction Invasive annual grasses (IAGs) pose a significant threat to sagebrush rangelands, but restoring native perennial species using seed is challenging because pre‐emergent herbicides, used to control IAGs, also harm desired seedlings. This necessitates seeding after herbicide effects diminish. Objective This collection of three papers

Seed pellets containing activated carbon increase emergence of native plant species used in dryland restoration following herbicide application

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 6, August 2026.
Abstract Introduction Over half of dryland ecosystems worldwide are degraded, making restoration a priority. Most dryland restoration efforts use seed‐based approaches, which often result in limited establishment of desirable species. The dual challenges of abiotic stressors and invasive species dominance are key barriers to native plant community ...

Rangeland degradation in the Republic of Kazakhstan: causes and consequences

open access: yesProblems of AgriMarket
The aim is to search for the causes of pasture degradation in Kazakhstan, determination of stagnation of pasture massifs on the basis of remote sensing of land and the state of pasture lands using NDVI index. Methods - analytical and economic-statistical were used to study the sources of pasture land depletion and factors affecting their condition,

Improving the estimation of grazing pressure in tropical rangelands

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters
Livestock grazing is a key land use globally, with major environmental impacts, yet the spatial footprint of grazing remains elusive, particularly at broad scales.
