Functionally diverse stands promote leaf litter decomposition irrespective of litter species' resource acquisition strategy

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 706-719, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Stand functional diversity (RaoQ) and stand functional composition in terms of the functional traits of the component species (CWM trait) are critical for ecosystem processes and functioning, such as litter decomposition and associated nutrient cycling.

Improved Longan Genome Assembly Reveals Insights Into Flowering Mechanisms

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1678-1696, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Longan is an exotic tropical fruit crop and exhibits off‐season flowering induced by potassium chlorate (KClO3), though the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We assembled a high‐quality, 441.5 Mb genome of variety ‘Shixia’, with a contig N50 at 28.1 Mb, 29, 325 protein‐coding genes, 26 telomeres and 15 centromeres.

Effect of the aqueous extracts of the seeds of Talisia esculenta and Sapindus saponaria on fall armyworm

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2008
The effect of aqueous extracts of Talisia esculenta (T.E.) and Sapindus saponaria (S.S.), were evaluated on the development and mortality of 8-14th day-life Spodoptera frugiperda, an important pest of maize.

Bioremediation of Crystal Violet Dye Using Sapindus mukorossi Functionalized Iron‐Oxide Nanoparticles From Coprecipitation Method

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT The textile industry is a water‐intensive industry that disrupts aquatic ecosystems by releasing recalcitrant chemicals like crystal violet (CV) dye characterized by its carcinogenic and mutagenic nature. Ethanolic extract of saponin‐rich Sapindus mukorossi was employed in the synthesis of biogenic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONP).

Secondary Forest Conversion Into Betel Nut Plantations Reduces Soil Water Retention by Altering Soil Properties

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Soil hydrological properties were significantly altered by the land‐use change. Topsoil water retention was reduced by the conversion of tropical forests into betel nut plantations. Stable soil infiltration rates were reduced by the conversion of tropical forests into betel nut plantations.

Variation in Water‐Use Strategies of Prosopis velutina in Southern Arizona

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 1, January‐February 2026.
ABSTRACT In semi‐arid regions of the United States, mesquite trees are widely distributed across the landscape and play a pivotal ecological role, influencing hydrological processes and contributing to biodiversity. This is especially true in riparian areas, where understanding the adaptive water‐use strategies of facultative phreatophytes is essential

High‐quality litter drives a stronger home‐field advantage of leaf decomposition in young plantations

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 97-112, January 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Home‐field advantage (HFA) describes the tendency of litter to decompose accelerated in its native habitat than in other environments. Although the interactions between soil fauna and microbial communities during litter decomposition are well documented, the specific ...
