Biodiversity and biomass co‐regulate urban forest drought resistance

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Severe droughts induced by climate change present substantial challenges to urban forests. While the role that species richness plays in enhancing drought resistance in natural ecosystems has been highlighted in previous studies, its impact within urban forests remains less understood.

Nonthermal Food Processing Technologies: A Comprehensive Review

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract illustrates the shift from traditional thermal food preservation methods to advanced nonthermal technologies. Traditional methods, represented by heating, often compromise the nutritional and sensory quality of foods. In contrast, nonthermal approaches such as high‐pressure processing (HPP), pulsed electric field (PEF ...

Seasonal drivers of plant–soil–microbial community structure and functions in Western Himalayan grasslands, Pakistan

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Plant species richness was greater in summer in both alpine and subalpine grassland ecosystems. Soil moisture demonstrates significant positive correlations with soil organic carbon and total nitrogen across seasonal periods. Microbial α‐diversity peaks during summer but maintains functional stability across seasons.
