Leaf nitrogen and wood density, but not root traits, explain the growth and survival of temperate tree species

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
The relative importance of different root traits for tree growth and survival may be contingent on the soil environment, so that species' demographic strategies cannot be confidently inferred from below‐ground traits without biotic or abiotic environmental context.

Measurement of Ungulate Palatability and Browsing Pressure on Japanese Flora

open access: yesEcological 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.

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

open access: yesMolecular 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.

Flowering synchrony and cultivar compatibility as key factors for optimising sweet cherry pollination and production

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 1, Page 229-245, January 2026.
Effective pollination is crucial for sweet cherry production, as 82% of its yield depends on animal pollination. However, factors like flower phenology and cultivar compatibility are often overlooked in orchard management. Our study shows that flower phenology is a key aspect to determine suitable cultivars, and that pollen tube growth is a practical ...

The association of Mediterranean plant species with herbivorous arthropods and its effect on pest abundance in organic vineyards

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 1, Page 369-385, January 2026.
We determined the associations of native Mediterranean plant species located around organic vineyards with species of Auchenorrhyncha and phytophagous tetranychid and tenuipalpid mites, including important vineyard pests: Jacobiasca lybica and Tetranychus urticae.
