Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.Where early successional forests are more flammable than old‐growth forests, forested landscapes are vulnerable to shifting into ‘fire traps' through positive feedbacks, where fire leads to more fire. These feedbacks are amplified by increased flammability driven by climate change, the presence of non‐native flammable plant species, and slowed ...

Periodical cicadas suffer legacy effects of century‐old forest removal
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Periodical cicada (Magicicada spp.) ranges have continued to decline even as their habitat has rebounded from historic lows. This counterintuitive trajectory may be a consequence of Magicicada's limited dispersal capabilities combined with their requirement that individual host trees survive across decades. Indeed, we find that the presence of

Native earthworms and roe deer in temperate forests: Friends in the sun, foes in the shade
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Given increasing deer populations and rising canopy openness through tree mortality in European forests, understanding how these changes affect above‐belowground communities and ecosystem functioning is becoming more important. Earthworms comprise the largest animal biomass in European forest soils and play a central role in decomposition ...

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.

Precision Restoration to Minimize Soil Loss in a Watershed in the Atlantic Forest Domain
Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10585-10599, September 2026.ABSTRACT The Turvo River Watershed, located in the Zona da Mata region of Minas Gerais and part of the Doce River Basin, faces serious problems of erosion and soil degradation, which compromise and reduce the quality of local water resources. Given this scenario, it is essential to implement environmental recovery strategies that prioritize the ...
