Shrub encroachment influences root traits and mycorrhization in subalpine grasslands

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2237-2249, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Shrub encroachment into grasslands modifies ecosystem functions, species composition and soil properties. However, knowledge about its detailed below‐ground effects and specifically on concurrent changes in root traits and mycorrhizal associations is missing. We studied

Linking nutrient resorption stoichiometry with plant growth under long-term nitrogen addition

Forest Ecosystems
Increased nitrogen (N) input can potentially lead to secondary phosphorus (P) limitation; however, it remains unclear whether differences in the plant's ability to cope with this P deficiency are related to their growth responses.

Complete chloroplast genome sequences of Vaccinium bracteatum Thunb., V. vitis-idaea L., and V. uliginosum L. (Ericaceae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
Members of the Vaccinium genus (Ericaceae family) have excellent medicinal and nutritional properties. In this study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast (cp) genomes of three species, Vaccinium bracteatum Thunb., V. vitis-idaea L., and V. uliginosum L.

Historical Corrals in Fennoscandia Reveal Divergent Legacies of Concentrated Reindeer Densities Between Continental and Suboceanic Tundra

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Historical reindeer corrals in Fennoscandian tundra showed that the legacies of concentrated reindeer densities varied between geobotanical districts. While high graminoid abundance always persisted, suboceanic sites, but not continental sites, had higher forb and species richness per plot. This led to more distinct plant communities inside the corrals

Digitised herbarium specimen data reveal a climate change‐related trend to an earlier, shorter Canadian Arctic flowering season, and phylogenetic signal in Arctic flowering times

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 2, Page 696-706, July 2026.
Summary The Arctic is experiencing some of the world's most rapid changes in climate. Arctic plant flowering time responses to climate change are understudied. Globally, conflicting evidence exists on whether flowering time responses to temperature are evolutionarily conserved.

Acclimation of subarctic vegetation to warming and increased cloudiness

Plant-Environment Interactions
Subarctic ecosystems are exposed to elevated temperatures and increased cloudiness in a changing climate with potentially important effects on vegetation structure, composition, and ecosystem functioning.

Allelopathic effects of dominant ground vegetation species on initial growth of Pinus sylvestris L. seedlings in response to different temperature scenarios

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2019
The dominant species of ground vegetation cover in clear-cuts impact the regeneration of Scots pine forests due to the biochemical properties of these dominant species. Environmental conditions in clear-cuts, specifically increased light and temperature,

A Cleaved Amplified Polymorphic Sequence Assay to Differentiate Neopestalotiopsis Species With Differing Pathogenicity in Strawberry

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
Cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) markers were developed to distinguish aggressive from less aggressive Neopestalotiopsis species and strains infecting strawberries. ABSTRACT Strawberries are a widely cultivated high‐value crop in Canada, with an annual farm gate value of approximately $134 million.

Comparison of antioxidant activity of leaf alcoholic extracts of vaccinium vitis-idaea and vaccinium myrtillus: preliminary studies [PDF]

Herba Polonica
Introduction: Antioxidants, especially polyphenols, are essential for defending the body against oxidative damage brought on by reactive oxygen species and free radicals, which can result in tissue and cellular dysfunction.

Decadal climate variability and increasing exposure of Chilean agriculture

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Central Chile has undergone a steady shift from traditional annual crops to fruit orchards and vineyards, and a decline in the area dedicated to annual crops. This transition coincides with a decrease in precipitation and an increase in temperature.
