Warming, elevated CO2 and drought in combination accelerates plant phenological shifts in managed montane grassland

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Plant phenology is key to plant and ecosystem functioning. Its responses to multiple interacting global change factors are still poorly understood. In a managed montane grassland, warming and elevated CO2 accelerated the spring development of species, while summer drought constrained their regrowth after cutting and advanced senescence.

Continuous grazing in comparison to cutting management on an organic meadow in the eastern Alps [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Continuous grazing is an appropriate pasture system for dairy cows in low input milk production systems like organic farming. Grazing increases for economic reasons and is also caused by regulations in organic farming.

Contrasting drought responses in two grassland plant–microbe systems under climate change

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
By contrasting two plant strategies across a soil‐moisture gradient under warming and elevated CO2, this study shows how drought and climate jointly shape plant performance and associated microbiomes. The stress‐tolerant Festuca rubra responds through trait plasticity and flexible bacterial communities, whereas the competitive Lolium perenne relies ...

Soil‐Borne Pathogens Reflect Agricultural Land‐Use Legacies

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.
Legacy effects profoundly shape the distribution and diversity of terrestrial communities, but are difficult to grasp over longer timescales. Here, we use historical land‐use maps to study lingering legacies of historical land use on present‐day microbial communities.

Structural variation drives rhizome innovation and adaptive divergence in sister Medicago species

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 406-424, February 2026.
Chromosome‐scale genome analysis, population resequencing, stress‐responsive transcriptomes and functional assays showed that coding and regulatory structural variants, especially gene duplications and noncoding presence‐absence variants, underlie rhizome formation in alpine Medicago archiducis‐nicolai and contrasting xeric adaptation in its non ...

Traits and functions of alpine plant communities respond strongly but not always sufficiently to in situ climate change

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1173-1187, February 2026.
Summary Increasing climate warming and summer droughts are known to affect mountain plant communities, their functional traits and life strategies. However, little is known about how strongly and efficiently communities respond to climate change, and how tightly plant responses are linked to responses of ecosystem functions.

Isopod feces–mediated shifts in germination timing enhance seedling establishment

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 1909-1919, February 2026.
Summary Seedlings are particularly vulnerable to herbivory because their defenses are underdeveloped and their capacity to tolerate damage is limited. However, how seedlings cope with such threats remains poorly understood. Animal feces may provide important chemical cues that influence plant responses to herbivory.
