Herbaceous Plants in Forest Ecosystems: One Hundred Fundamental and Applied Questions

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims Herbaceous plants (herbs) found in the understory of forests contribute substantially to the biodiversity of these ecosystems, as well as being important socio‐culturally, economically, and for advancing ecological theory. However, the ecology of herbs is less well understood compared with woody plants, despite evidence that herbs are ...

Host Range and Disease Potential of Colletotrichum aotearoa in Australian Native Plants

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
The broad host range of Colletotrichum aotearoa (including several Banksia species), together with its ability to cause asymptomatic infection, suggests that it may be an important pathogen of Australian native plants. ABSTRACT Colletotrichum aotearoa, originally described from various native species in New Zealand, has since been reported in Australia

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 11, 3 June 2026.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting
