A step back to move forward: an effect of biomass removal on functional traits of clonal and nonclonal herbs during establishment growth

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2300-2310, March 2026.
Summary Establishment growth represents a critical phase in the plant life cycle. In clonal herbs, which depend on developing extensive belowground organs, this stage may be particularly vulnerable due to substantial belowground resource allocation. We hypothesized that such investment constrains tolerance to early disturbance in clonal herbs compared ...

Low abundance of phytophagous nematodes under invasive exotic Pinus elliottii – enemy release and plant–soil feedbacks

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 3060-3071, March 2026.
Summary According to the enemy release hypothesis (ERH), the fitness of exotic plants and their capacity to become invasive in their area of introduction may partly be attributable to the loss of their natural enemies. Invasive species may also benefit from modifying soil attributes and thereby creating a positive soil–plant feedback.

Beyond species means – the intraspecific contribution to global wood density variation

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 2630-2651, March 2026.
Summary Wood density is central for estimating vegetation carbon storage and a plant functional trait of great ecological and evolutionary importance. However, the global extent of wood density variation is unclear, especially at the intraspecific level. We assembled the most comprehensive wood density collection to date, including 109 626 records from

Cold hardiness mechanisms and modeling: existing approaches and future avenues

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 2668-2682, March 2026.
Summary Cold hardiness models are useful tools to predict cold damage in plants, such as those produced by unseasonal temperature cycles or by increased cold exposure. Although development of these models started about five decades ago, their applications remain limited.

Variation in herbivore defense strategies among plant species differing in elevational distribution and the role of temperature in defense

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 3091-3103, March 2026.
Summary Temperature influences the distribution and performance of both plants and insect herbivores. Consequently, plant–herbivore interactions are likely to vary across thermal gradients, which could affect the evolution of plant defense. Furthermore, temperature fluctuations may elicit immediate changes in defense.
