Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.The importance of artificial wetlands for waterbird conservation can be easily overestimated from count data alone. The value of extensive fish ponds as a breeding habitat depends on maintaining the availability of natural marshes as a foraging habitat. This requires reducing impacts from groundwater extraction. Given recent abandonment of aquaculture,

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.Lower forest harvesting in Natura 2000 sites may align with socio‐economic barriers often claimed by local communities, but protection does not influence vulnerability to other disturbances. In a general scenario of reduced forest harvesting in the region, we argue that differences in harvesting due to protection are statistically significant but ...

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 1992-2009, February 2026.Summary Drying and drought in tropical forests, which have some of the highest net primary productivity on Earth, are likely to alter root dynamics, ecosystem function, and carbon (C) storage. We used a chronic drying experiment in four lowland Panamanian forests to investigate whether soil drying shifts tropical forest root production from surface to ...

Plant conservation in a changing Mediterranean world
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 49-72, January 2026.The Mediterranean is one of five climatic regions on the planet characterised by a prolonged summer drought, exceptional plant diversity and high rates of endemism. We provide a framework to link the ecology of plant species conservation in the context of rapid and extreme climate deregulation to a philosophical typology of temporal attitudes (i.e ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3543-3555, December 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Watercourses are among the most threatened ecosystems globally and face multiple anthropogenic stressors of different origins and intensities that reduce biodiversity and disrupt ecosystem functioning.

Review of Policy Research, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 1428-1449, November 2025.ABSTRACT In Colorado, cattle farming—the state's leading agricultural sector—is a significant source of methane emissions. In response, both the government and producers have initiated efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change and enhance sustainability.

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 10, Page 2511-2531, October 2025.Abstract Floods and droughts are becoming increasingly frequent and intense in the Mediterranean region. Nature‐based solutions (NBS) are being put forward as cost‐effective solutions for climate change adaptation to reduce the impacts of floods and droughts and provide multiple other benefits and ecosystem services.

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 10, Page 2875-2888, October 2025.These results suggest that the fertilization effect of CO2 at the seedling stage may be limited when additional environmental stressors, such as drought, are present. The combined effect of drought, temperature and CO2 mainly resulted in additive effects, where each stressor independently influences plant performance rather than interacting to amplify ...

Quantifying exposure of amphibian species to heat waves, cold spells, and droughts
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.Abstract Globally, amphibians face severe threats, such as climate change and associated extreme events. Our goal was to quantify global amphibian exposure to 3 classes of extreme events: heat waves, cold spells, and droughts. We used the MERRA‐2 extreme climate events data and the standardized precipitation–evapotranspiration index database to ...

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 886-898, October 2025.Low‐sodium females took significantly longer to start mating than high‐sodium females, but no pairings differed in the duration of copulation. Reproductive outputs, measured by number of clutches, hatching young, adult offspring and pupation time, did not differ across parental sodium pairings.
