Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Evolution of Groundwater‐Dependent Ecosystems in the West Liao River Plain

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Groundwater‐dependent ecosystems (GDEs) are essential to ecological stability in semi‐arid regions, yet their identification and mechanistic interpretation remain constrained by limited long‐term observations and insufficient model interpretability.

Vegetation on the move: elevational shifts and greening dynamics across the Himalayan alpine zone

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study investigates alpine ‘vegetation line' (the upper limit of continuous plant community) dynamics in the Himalayan alpine zone (HAZ) over a 24‐year timescale (1999–2022) using maximum NDVI products derived from Landsat series datasets, adjusted for sampling bias using phenological modelling.

Effects of long‐term nitrogen addition on two dominant species in a drought‐prone Mediterranean forest

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract This study aimed to assess the long‐term effects of nitrogen (N) addition on recruitment, growth, survival, and physiological responses in Quercus ilex and Phillyrea latifolia, two codominant species typical in the Mediterranean forests. Here, we present a 9‐year N addition experiment (20 kg N ha−1 year−1, δ15N‐enriched) in an N‐limited ...

Glacial refugia, postglacial dynamics, and hybrid zones of Pinaceae in Eurasia captured from sedimentary ancient DNA

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Boreal forests cover nearly one‐third of global forest area. Glacial cycles have shaped the distribution and connectivity of modern Pinaceae genera, yet species‐level refugia, postglacial migrations, and hybridization patterns remain unclear due to limited high‐resolution taxonomic and temporal data. We applied a hybridization capture approach

The seed bank created by the dung of large herbivores drives seed circulation in an alpine meadow

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Seed circulation (i.e., sexual reproduction) is vital for the regeneration of aboveground grassland vegetation (AGV). It occurs in several steps: seed production (seed rain, SR), dispersal (endozoochory, i.e., dung seed bank, DSB), formation of the soil seed bank (SSB), germination, seedling growth, and establishment of adult plants.
