Multi‐gradient warming reshapes functional traits and adaptive responses of alpine meadow plants

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 9, Page 2889-2905, September 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant functional traits in alpine meadows are critical indicators of ecosystem responses to climate warming, yet dynamic changes in trait networks across warming gradients and their consequences for community functions remain poorly understood.

Phenology drives asymmetric responses of ecosystem productivity stability to warming and cooling

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 9, Page 2959-2971, September 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecosystem productivity stability is a key indicator of ecosystem functioning under climate change, but the role of cooling periods in increasingly variable climates remains poorly resolved.

Direct and Element‐Mediated Edaphic Effects Shape Resource‐Conservative Leaf Trait Variation Across Serpentine and Limestone Soils

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Populations of closely related Epimedium taxa inhabiting serpentine and limestone soils converged toward resource‐conservative leaf trait syndromes despite strong differences in soil chemistry. Structural equation modeling revealed that edaphic variation was associated with leaf trait variation both directly and indirectly through shifts in leaf ...

Antimicrobial Surfaces for Reusable Food Packaging: A Comprehensive Review of Functionality and Suitability

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT With the recent introduction of the European Union's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) in February 2025, reusable plastic packaging schemes have gained increasing attention as a more circular and sustainable alternative to single‐use plastics (SUPs).

Caught Between Macrophytes and Human Impact: Zooplankton Facing Multiple Stressors in Tropical Waters

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Tropical freshwater systems host diverse and functionally important zooplankton communities that are increasingly threatened by multiple stressors. Here, we assessed how land‐use disturbance, local environmental conditions and macrophyte structure influence zooplankton richness, abundance and composition in Amazonian ponds and streams.
