Synthesizing current knowledge on the ecology, phenology, and cultivation of Vaccinium membranaceum

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 116-133, January 2026.
More than 100 edible native berries grow across Canada's vast territory and are used by over 600 Indigenous Peoples of Canada as a main component of their diet. This research provides critical insights into the ecology, phenology, and cultivation of black huckleberry (Vaccinium membranaceum), a species of significant ecological and cultural importance ...

Influence of ground substrate on establishment of reindeer lichen after artificial dispersal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Methods to improve the recovery of reindeer lichen after soil disturbance or overgrazing are being sought for areas where reindeer are herded. The effects of four substrates – mineral soil, moss, twigs and pine bark – on the establishment of lichen ...

Uncovering biodiversity deficits: Experimental evidence for dispersal limitation of woody species in Mediterranean forest patches

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
We experimentally introduced seeds of woody species into Mediterranean forest patches to test whether species’ absences reflected dispersal limitation or habitat unsuitability. Similar establishment rates showed that unoccupied patches are suitable for establishment but experience limited seed arrival, uncovering diversity deficits that can be restored

Plant species with ‘fast’ traits are winners in young and high‐diversity plant communities

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
The results suggest that fast‐growing, high‐nutrient demanding species are winners in high‐diversity mixtures, which can be well predicted from their SLA. However, the results regarding NLeaf suggest that the predictability of species performances changes with the age of the experimental communities and that presumably more complex plant–soil ...

Seed germination traits reveal naturalization potential: Global insights from temperate European herbaceous species

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study provides global‐scale evidence that the naturalization of European herbaceous species is related to specific germination traits acquired in the native range. The findings indicate that traits such as high germinability, low stratification requirements and responsiveness to scarification act as preadaptations that facilitate naturalization by
