Reactive oxygen species act as signaling molecules to control root hair initiation and tip growth

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 5, Page 2042-2048, September 2025.
Summary Root hairs (RHs) increase the surface area of roots, facilitating nutrient and water uptake and plant anchorage. RHs form from root epidermal cells and elongate by polar tip growth. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have recently been implicated as important signals that drive RH formation and elongation using both genetic and imaging approaches ...

Integrating data to assess occupancy patterns of an endangered bumble bee

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 4, August 2025.
Abstract There is growing interest in integrating community science data with structured monitoring data to estimate changes in distribution patterns of imperiled species, including pollinators. However, significant challenges remain in determining how unstructured community science data should be incorporated into formal analyses of species ...

The interplay between virus infection and water‐related stress is mediated by the plant metabolism of ascorbic acid

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 1, Page 265-280, July 2025.
Summary Plants are often subjected to environmental variations in the context of infection such that virus‐induced and abiotic stresses co‐occur. One such environmental variation is water stress, which strongly impacts plant fitness. Although there is ample evidence of the beneficial effects of plant viruses under drought, the consequences of infection

Fast‐risky versus slow‐safe life histories mediate resprouting among Caribbean tropical dry forest trees

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 1579-1593, June 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Under climate change, shifting disturbance regimes necessitate understanding the linkages between biomass regeneration and plant function to assess forest resilience.

Urban Tree Growth and Drought Responses Show Evidence of Climate Resilience

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 6, June 2025.
Urban trees face increasing risks from climate change, including drought and heatwaves, which threaten their growth and survival. By studying 10 tree species across seven Australian cities, we found that local climate strongly influences tree growth, and that some species are well adapted to urban climates.

The Social Relevance of Water Quality and Cultural Ecosystem Services: An Application to a Saline Wetland in an Arid Environment

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT The deterioration of wetlands and loss of ecosystem services is a consequence of human‐induced activities and the effects of climate change. In Spain, this situation is intensified in southern arid and semi‐arid regions such as Andalucía, where droughts are particularly intense.

Do public works programmes foster climate resilience? Conceptual framework and review of empirical evidence

open access: yesInternational Social Security Review, Volume 78, Issue 2-3, Page 145-171, April-September 2025.
Abstract Public works programmes (PWPs) are pervasively used to tackle poverty and unemployment, and to build infrastructure and skills in low‐ and middle‐income countries. While their impacts on poverty, food security and labour outcomes have been widely documented, there is little research focusing on the role of PWPs in supporting household climate ...

A low‐cost protocol for the optical method of vulnerability curves to calculate P50

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, Volume 13, Issue 2, March-April 2025.
Abstract Premise The quantification of plant drought resistance, particularly embolism formation, within and across species, is critical for ecosystem management and agriculture. We developed a cost‐effective protocol to measure the water potential at which 50% of hydraulic conductivity (P50) is lost in stems, using affordable and accessible materials ...
