Taxonomic, Phylogenetic and Functional Diversity Behave Differently Under Disturbance Pressure and Complex Land‐Use History: Assembly Rules in Grassland Communities

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Grasslands in the Alps are undergoing land‐use change triggering ecological succession and affecting community composition. Taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity are used as complementary information to infer on community assembly processes, supporting conservation practices.

Extreme environments in a world of new extremes

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Extreme environments, whether defined by climate, soils, or disturbance, at landscape or micro‐scales, are prevalent across Earth's surface and have long served as crucibles for ecological and evolutionary insights. Many foundational theories were developed in deserts, cliffs, ultramafic soils, and other harsh systems.

Distribution drivers in a globally invasive plant: Climate dominates at large scales, human presence at local scales

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The occurrence patterns of invasive species are shaped, on the one hand, by the availability of suitable habitat, and, on the other hand, by how dispersal has progressed since their introduction to the new region. This complicates attempts to understand and predict their distributions, especially if the relative importance of these factors ...

A First Quantitative Assessment of Soil Health at European Scale Considering Soil Genesis

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 1, Page 6-16, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Soil health degradation is a major threat to European food security, biodiversity, and climate stability. While scientists have debated how to define soil health during recent decades, a quantifiable framework for monitoring, management, and policy remains lacking.

Holocene climate oscillations, seismotectonic events and human–environmental interactions reconstructed from the Giannades palaeolake on Corfu (Eastern Mediterranean, Greece)

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 2, Page 316-332, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Mediterranean is particularly sensitive to rapid climate changes (RCCs) during the Holocene. An increasing number of natural climate archives revealed that socio‐economic developments were influenced by such RCCs since the Palaeolithic. However, multi‐millennial and high‐resolution archives are still rare and often located in mountainous ...

Unveiling the Crystal Structure of Sanidine: A Polarized Raman and Ab Initio Simulation Exploration

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, Volume 57, Issue 2, Page 227-238, February 2026.
This study combines polarized Raman spectroscopy and ab initio calculations to assign theoretical vibrational modes to observed spectra. Polarized Raman spectra were collected in six geometries (40–1200 cm−1). Theoretical predictions via DFT show good agreement with experiments, though some discrepancies point to influences like trace elements and ...
