Trait variation and plant performance: Interactive effects of diversity and spatial patterning of plants across environmental conditions

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 83-96, January 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The diversity and spatial patterning of plants and their environmental determinants can influence plant–plant interactions critical to generating trait variation in plants.

Multi‐species productive grasslands offer advantages over permanent grasslands for arthropod conservation, but preserving semi‐natural grasslands remains essential

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
SNGs remain irreplaceable for arthropod conservation, supporting the highest gamma diversity and providing habitat for species sensitive to high LUI. They should be regarded as the cornerstone of arthropod conservation in agricultural landscapes. MSPGs represent an improved alternative to PGs, particularly by enhancing floral resources, although their ...

Microplastic and drought influence the positive effect of plant diversity on plant biomass production

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
Microplastic and drought influenced plant diversity–biomass relationships in a glasshouse grassland experiment. Microplastic reduced the shoot biomass of grasses and legumes, weakening the positive selection effects. In contrast, drought strongly suppressed the shoot biomass of legumes, resulting in negative complementarity and a negative net diversity

Measurement of Ungulate Palatability and Browsing Pressure on Japanese Flora

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Estimation of palatability and browsing pressure are key techniques for ecosystem management. We compared four methods to estimate palatability based on browsing scar survey and proposed the reference palatability values for the Japanese flora as plant ecological trait.

Ant‐mediated seed dispersal in the Poaceae: Evidence of myrmecochory in green foxtail (Setaria viridis) and giant foxtail (Setaria faberi)

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Model systems have been developed for certain mutualistic interactions, such as pollination, root nodules, and mycorrhizal symbiosis, advancing our understanding of these forms of mutualism. However, in the area of seed dispersal mutualism, a model system has been lacking. Here, we provide evidence of ant‐seed dispersal mutualism in Setaria viridis and

Phylogenomic Barcoding of Soil Seed Bank–Persistent and Wind‐Dispersed Non‐Native Plant Species in South Georgia

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change and invasive species are leading drivers of biodiversity loss, with island ecosystems being especially vulnerable. South Georgia, a remote sub‐Antarctic island, is 170 km long with approximately 30,000 ha of vegetated coastal areas, as snow and ice dominate the inland regions.

Burrow Selection by Temminck's Ground Pangolins (Smutsia temminckii) in Northern Botswana

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT In arid and semi‐arid environments, many species use underground burrows for thermoregulation, reproduction, and to reduce predation risk. In Botswana, Temminck's ground pangolins (Smutsia temminckii) shelter in burrows during the day, and burrow density is thought to be a key indicator of habitat suitability for these animals.

Plant Identity Impacts the Soil Microbiome More Than Interspecific Interactions in Intensively Managed Grasslands

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
The impact of plant identity and interspecific interactions on the soil microbiome in intensively managaged grasslands. ABSTRACT Plants and soil microbes are intricately linked, and agricultural production relies heavily on microbially mediated ecosystem services. However, the effects of plant diversity (richness, relative abundance and composition) on

Regenerative Management and Phosphorus Fertiliser Effects on Dryland Pasture Yield and Botanical Composition in New Zealand

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 1, January-March 2026.
ABSTRACT This 3.5‐year grazed farmlet study investigated the impacts of regenerative agriculture and soil phosphorus (P) fertiliser on herbage dry matter (DM) yield and botanical composition in sheep‐grazed dryland pastures. Four treatments compared regenerative with conventional agriculture, under high and low P fertiliser, with Olsen P targets of 10 ...
