Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 2, February 2026.Using the most complete summary of 20 years of riparian plant water use studies in North American drylands to date, we examine broad patterns of plant water use by vegetation type and across climate gradients. Marshes, cottonwood‐willow stands and tamarisk use larger amounts of water than other communities, and all communities have higher water use in ...

An iterative and targeted sampling design informed by habitat suitability models for detecting focal plant species over extensive areas [PDF]
, 2014 Prioritizing areas for management of non-native invasive plants is critical, as invasive plants can negatively impact plant community structure. Extensive and multi-jurisdictional inventories are essential to prioritize actions aimed at mitigating the ...

Drought resistance drives population temporal stability of annuals in drylands
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.We examined how functional traits determine population temporal stability in 178 populations of winter annuals across Mediterranean, semi‐arid and arid climates over 13 years. Traits conferring higher drought resistance were consistently associated with greater stability in open habitats, whereas shrub microhabitats altered or reversed this pattern ...

Plastic Germination, Temporal Niche Partitioning and Emergent Assortative Mating in Annual Plants
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.Temporal environmental fluctuations can drive genetic diversity and species coexistence via the storage effect. Using eco‐evolutionary models of annual plants, we show that adaptive plasticity in seed germination readily evolves and promotes genetic diversification by facilitating temporal niche partitioning, and in sexual populations can initiate ...

Journal of Zoology, Volume 328, Issue 2, Page 107-120, February 2026.Animals in harsh environments rely on specialised adaptations. Two decades of field research on African striped mice (Rhabdomys pumilio) in the Succulent Karoo semi‐desert reveal a distinct ‘harshness response’—marked by reduced metabolism and glucocorticoid levels—that differs fundamentally from the classic stress response.

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Drylands are among the most degraded ecosystems globally and are difficult to restore due to limited water availability. Biocrusts are a key component of maintaining soil stability and function in these systems. Since biocrust salvage opportunities are limited, cultivating salvaged biocrusts is a promising method.
