Room to regenerate: microhabitats and the recruitment niche as drivers of mountain woodland restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Natural regeneration is an efficient, minimal‐intervention approach essential for facilitating resilient, self‐sustaining ecosystems during woodland restoration. However, recruitment can be slow, uncertain, or highly restricted, particularly in mountain woodland systems where tree planting and large herbivore management are ...

Winter biomass potential of four cover crop species: Wheat, rye, triticale, and canola

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract This study examines variability in predicted aboveground biomass (AGB) of winter cover crops (CCs) across Nebraska, focusing on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), rye (Secale cereale L.), triticale (× Triticosecale), and canola (Brassica napus L.).

Proximate Climate Drivers of Beaver Pond Occupancy and Range Expansion in Arctic Alaska

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
To understand why beavers are colonizing the Arctic, we evaluated which climate drivers underpin beaver pond dynamics. Warm Junes, mild winters, green summers, and wet springs facilitate pond establishment. Rapid improvement in these conditions across recent decades provides mechanistic support that climate change is driving beaver colonization of the ...

Increasing Respiration Weakens the Carbon Sink Over Two Decades in a Temperate Deciduous Forest

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Using a 20‐year eddy covariance record from a temperate deciduous forest, we show that net carbon uptake declined over two decades. Both the trend and interannual variability in net carbon exchange were respiration driven, with warming winters and increasing late‐summer diffuse light driving the trend in respiration.

Greening and Divergent Stability Responses in Central Asian Mountain Grasslands Under the Grassland Ecological Compensation Policy of China

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10147-10161, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Mountain grasslands of Central Asia, recognized as a globally significant biodiversity hotspot and a vital pastoral resource, are presently experiencing profound transformations driven by climate change and evolving grazing practices. This study investigated the multidimensional dynamics of ecosystem stability in the Bayinbuluk grassland of ...

Geospatial Foundation Embeddings as Transferable Catchment Descriptors

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Deep learning hydrological models rely on static catchment attributes to characterize basin heterogeneity, but these traditional descriptors suffer from regional inconsistency and limited temporal representativeness. This study evaluates geospatial foundation model embeddings (from AlphaEarth and StefaLand) as transferable catchment ...

Gharial (Gavialis gangeticus, Gmelin 1789) Beyond Protected Areas of Nepal: Population, Reproduction, and Seasonal Migration of Gharial in the Karnali River and Its Tributaries

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Populations of Critically Endangered gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) in Nepal are restricted primarily within or adjacent to protected areas. There are few records of gharial occurrence from the Karnali River and its tributaries outside protected areas in southwestern Nepal but there is very little information available for gharials residing in the ...

Assessing the Response of the Net Primary Productivity to Snow Phenology Changes in the Tibetan Plateau: Trends and Environmental Drivers

Remote Sensing
Understanding the relationship between climate, snow cover, and vegetation Net Primary Productivity (NPP) in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is crucial. However, the role of snow cover in influencing the NPP remains unclear.

Assessing Biodiversity in Agricultural Landscapes Through Drone‐Based Environmental DNA Sampling

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We developed a drone‐based environmental DNA (eDNA) swabbing method to assess hexapod diversity in agricultural fields under three management types (conventional, organic, and IP‐Suisse), detecting 75 taxa across 19 families. eDNA replicates showed consistent within‐field results, though no significant differences in diversity were found between ...
