In A Class of Their Own: Multiclass Random Forests Reveal Distinct Habitat Needs of Fledglings Relative to Adults in Two Grassland Birds

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Adults and juveniles across taxa often have unique habitat needs as a result of differing selective pressures during these periods, and such differences may inform the conservation and management of species. Here, we apply a novel multiclass analytic approach to compare the habitat use of nesting adults and fledglings in two declining grassland bird ...

Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Although anthropogenically‐induced ecological disruptions are fundamentally important in defining ecosystem properties, they are largely overlooked by macroecological theory. Anthropogenic disruptions and their effects are generally not comparable to one another, nor to disturbances that are part of natural disturbance regimes.

Warming reduces the quality of forage resources in a Colorado meadow ecosystem

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Rangelands provide ecosystem services that support approximately 30% of the human population. To maintain sustainable forage resources for animals in grasslands, it is essential to manage grazing pressures by adapting to changes in the quantity and nutritional quality of vegetation affected by climate change and subsequent shifts in plant ...

Soil nutrients and microbial community resistant to patch‐burn grazing in southwestern North Dakota

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Patch‐burn grazing uses the interactive effects of prescribed fire and herbivory to increase heterogeneity in aboveground ecosystem properties. Understanding how management that targets aboveground heterogeneity translates to soil properties and processes provides an important whole‐system context for practitioners.

Decadal effects of fuel treatments and annual grass invasion on sagebrush ecosystem carbon stocks

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Fuel treatments are implemented across large spatial scales in sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystems of the US Intermountain West to limit wildfire risk and spread, but treatment effects on ecosystem carbon storage remain poorly understood. Fuel treatments can reduce aboveground carbon storage and may also influence belowground carbon storage ...
