Climate stability drives multidimensional nestedness of amphibian assemblages in a Chinese sky island system

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 636-654, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The nested subset pattern (nestedness) has been widely used to explain species distributions in island and fragmented systems. Mountain sky islands serve as critical natural laboratories for understanding the evolutionary consequences of geographic isolation and climate

Landscape and Urban Design for improved urban microclimate

open access: yesLandscape Review
In this paper, we discuss the important role of landscape architecture and urban design in implementing urban heat mitigation strategies. We discuss how these professions relate to and are considered in studies focused on urban climate and outdoor ...

Urban microclimate and surface hydrometeorological processes

open access: yes, 2006
The urban near surface atmosphere is of great concern since it affects the climate to which an increasing amount of people are immediately exposed. This study investigated the microclimate in central Stockholm in terms of the thermal conditions in the 0-2.5 m air layer and the water and heat exchange processes at different types of surfaces found ...

Functionally diverse stands promote leaf litter decomposition irrespective of litter species' resource acquisition strategy

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 706-719, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Stand functional diversity (RaoQ) and stand functional composition in terms of the functional traits of the component species (CWM trait) are critical for ecosystem processes and functioning, such as litter decomposition and associated nutrient cycling.

High temperatures and poor habitat reduce nestling condition and survival in a tropical songbird

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
Our study shows that improving habitat quality is critical for riparian wildlife as the climate warms and that supporting long‐term studies is important for detecting cryptic effects of anthropogenic threats. The Australian monsoonal savanna is projected to warm by 3.5°C by 2090, and our models predict an associated average of 2.2% decrease in purple ...

The making of novel ecosystems: A process‐based framework for measurement, analysis and application

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 683-704, March 2026.
Abstract Ecological novelty is emerging rapidly due to global change drivers such as climate shifts, species introductions, defaunation, and land‐use transformation. These changes challenge how we assess, understand and manage ecosystems in the Anthropocene.
