Patterns and environmental drivers of root traits across hydrological gradients in old growth boreal forests

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Many key ecosystem functions are affected by plant roots and their traits. However, understanding of the patterns in, and drivers of, root traits lags far behind equivalent knowledge of above‐ground tissues, particularly in boreal old growth forests. We surveyed community‐level root traits across 11 old growth forests spanning a wide latitudinal range ...

Reindeer grazing induces spatial and functional shifts in root systems of boreal pine forests

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
The spatial distribution of roots, laterally and vertically, is critical for nutrient and water uptake and for driving root‐associated carbon inputs and turnover. Large herbivores, such as reindeer, influence ecosystems belowground by altering aboveground vegetation composition and soil microclimate.

Can the Carbon Storage Function of a Degraded Mountain Wet Meadow Be Restored?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Sierra Nevada meadows experienced intense livestock grazing in the 19th century, resulting in a shift from deep‐rooted highly productive perennial clonal sedges to short‐lived and shallow‐rooted plants. The current meadow vegetation contains >20% bare ground and <10% cover of highly productive clonal sedges and rushes. We hypothesized that the

Impact of harvest intensity on ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic fungal communities in forest soils

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3146-3160, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Low‐intensity tree harvesting has been proposed as a sustainable forest management practice to balance and preserve forest productivity, carbon storage and resilience to climate extremes. Soil fungi play a central role in driving tree performance and soil carbon storage,

Ecology of Abandonment: Meadow Field Layer Vegetation After a Century of Overgrowth

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, October/December 2026.
A century of unmanaged succession in a Swedish wooded meadow at Vessers Udde. Approximately 70% of vascular plant species were lost as light‐demanding meadow specialists disappeared and shade‐tolerant spring geophytes came to dominate the forest understorey. Loss rates were much higher than colonisation rates documented across four resurveys.

Fertile Soils Increase Susceptibility of Pinus sylvestris to Cronartium pini

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Cronartium pini, Scots pine blister rust, is a rust fungus that has caused severe damage in both old and young Scots pine (P. sylvestris) forest stands in northern Fennoscandia. To understand the many drivers of these outbreaks we examined putative factors and their explanatory power of C.

Long‐Term Effects of Biochar Addition on Diameter Growth in Young Established Boreal Scots Pine Stands

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2026.
Biochar application on top of the soil can be successful in already established and naturally regenerated boreal forest stands. Biochar tends to increase diameter and basal area growth. Increasing biochar dose enhanced growth response. Biochar induced growth response diminished 5 years after application.

Evidence that ericoid mycorrhizal shrubs can outcompete ectomycorrhizal trees for nitrogen in tannin‐rich litter

Ecosphere
Mycorrhizal associations of trees play a key role in ecosystem biogeochemistry, yet we know relatively little about the nutrient acquisition strategies of ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) shrubs, despite their prevalence in forest understories.
