Effects of biotic homogenization on community assembly and biomass production in an α × β‐diversity grassland experiment

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Various studies have shown that local loss of plant species within patches (i.e., α‐diversity loss) hampers plant biomass production, raising concerns about the consequences of biodiversity loss. However, biodiversity loss occurs at multiple spatial scales, and species losses at large spatial scales (γ‐diversity loss) can be either caused by α‐

Annual–Perennial Forage Mixtures Improve Forage Productivity and Soil Quality in Patchily Degraded Cultivated Pastures Under Grazing Management

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11036-11047, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Patchy degradation of cultivated pastures under long‐term grazing is a serious issue limiting grassland productivity. The use of annual and perennial legume–grass mixtures, which offer complementary functional advantages, may provide a practical reseeding‐based approach for improving patchily degraded cultivated pastures; however, limited ...

Advances in Cold‐Plasma Technology for Legume Seeds: Mechanisms, Nutritional Quality Improvement, Food Safety and Sustainable Agriculture

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Cold plasma (CP), a nonthermal ionised gas rich in reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), has emerged as a sustainable technology for enhancing legume production and quality. This review summarises current advances in CP applications in legumes, focusing on seed germination, seedling vigour, nutrient enhancement, antinutrient reduction ...

Influence of the Extraction Method on the Technological and Structural Properties of Andean Fava Bean Starch

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The Andean fava bean is a promising source of unconventional starch, but its extraction presents challenges such as obtaining pure starches with less granular damage. This study aimed to characterize the chemical and structural composition of Andean fava bean starches and evaluate the effects of aqueous (AES) and reducing agent (RES ...

Genetic and Morphological Diversity of Microsorum Link emend. Ching (Polypodiaceae) in Niue Confirms Three Indigenous Species

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
We present a taxonomic appraisal of Microsorum in Niue using chloroplast (rbcL, rps4 + rps4‐trnS, trnL + trnL‐trnF) and nuclear (gapCp) DNA sequence data obtained from 25 samples along with an assessment of morphological characters and the habitats occupied.

A comprehensive checklist of Mediterranean wild edible plants: Diversity, traditional uses, and knowledge gaps

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1616-1633, September 2026.
The use of wild edible plants and the traditional knowledge associated with them are rapidly disappearing across the Mediterranean, with serious consequences for biodiversity, cultural heritage, and regional food security. This study compiles and organizes fragmented information to create the first comprehensive catalogue of these plants across the ...

Diverse Prairie Mixtures Stabilize Biomass Yields for Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1829-1838, September 2026.
Meeting global demand for sustainable aviation fuel will require the additional production of vast quantities of plant biomass, which does not compete with food production or degrade sensitive ecosystems. Our multisite experiment shows that sowing diverse native prairie seed mixes—and managing them without intensive inputs—yields a more reliable ...

Drought stress modulates indirect defense via bottom‐up effects in tomato and wheat

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8499-8511, September 2026.
Different water regimes can have a significant impact on plant morphology and defense pathways in tomato and wheat, triggering multiple olfactory choices in biocontrol agents of key insect pests. These findings could be used to implement biocontrol strategies within the IPM context under a changing climate scenario.
