Undervalued Ecosystems: Ponds Boost Regional Macrophyte Diversity

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Ponds—depressional wetlands with ≤ 2 ha—are largely undervalued worldwide, despite serving as crucial diversity reservoirs. However, the extent to which ponds support diversity at the landscape scale is still underappreciated. Here, we investigate the contributions of ponds to macrophyte beta and gamma diversity in a subtropical wetland ...

Organic Farming Practices Facilitate Soil Carbon Stabilisation Following Massive Application of Ramial Chipped Wood: A Case Study of Sweet Potato Cultivation

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
ABSTRACT Improving soil organic matter contents in semi‐arid zones reduces the risk of soil degradation and improves climatic resilience. As a technique for the recarbonisation of abandoned or degraded soils, applications of massive amounts of exogenous biomass (EB) such as wood chips have not been widely tested, and agronomic integration is still ...

Assessing the Genotoxic Effects of Emerging Organic Contaminants in Water Systems: Current Trends and Future Directions

Scientifica, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) represent a growing concern for global water security due to their persistence, bioactivity, and potential to induce genotoxic effects in aquatic organisms and humans. This review critically examines the current state of genotoxicity assessment for EOCs by integrating established testing frameworks with advanced ...

Status of forest remnants invaded by tradescantia (Tradescantia fluminensis Vell.) following introduction of biocontrol beetles and manual clearance after three years

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 548-572, December 2025.
ABSTRACT We compared biocontrol beetles and manual clearing of tradescantia in forest remnants invaded by tradescantia (Tradescantia fluminensis Vell.) on the agriculturally modified Hikurangi floodplain, northern New Zealand, to inform best practice in enhancing native biodiversity. Four forest remnant study sites were used: two on dairy farms and two
