Diversity–productivity relationships in ericaceous plants are influenced by interactions with ericoid mycorrhizal fungi

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The positive effect of plant diversity on ecosystem productivity is among the most widespread trends in ecosystem ecology. Most studies suggest that niche differences (complementarity) play a significant role in shaping these effects. As most plant species require mutualistic mycorrhizal fungi to access limiting nutrients, recent evidence ...

Inequalities in intraspecific plant–lemur interactions drive seed dispersal patterns

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
Biotic interactions occur between individuals and accumulate to shape species‐level interaction structure across a community. Skewed interaction structures, where a few individuals are highly connected and most have few interactions, are increasingly identified at the individual‐level.

Age ratio in groups of a social ungulate affects epizoochorous dispersal and diaspore exchanges

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
Animal‐mediated seed dispersal is a key process in plant population dynamics, species distribution and ecosystem functioning. As long‐distance dispersal agents, ungulates help to maintain native plant populations facing abiotic changes in their habitat and habitat fragmentation or habitat loss.

Plant dispersal strategies in post-mining restoration areas in the Eastern Amazon [PDF]

Acta Botânica Brasílica
Mining activities in the Amazon result in significant environmental damage to mined areas. Natural regeneration through seed dispersal is a crucial process that aims to reintegrate those mined areas into the native vegetation nearby.

Tracking and modelling native woodland expansion in the Scottish Highlands using LiDAR

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 9, September 2026.
Forest restoration projects should utilise the new LiDAR‐based pipelines to effectively map young trees, assess whether targets are met, and plan further action. Notably, the Scottish Government is now commissioning a national airborne LiDAR scan, providing a unique opportunity to upscale our algorithms to create national woodland expansion databases ...

Selecting for Seed Size Diversity Can Support a Variety of Plant Colonization Strategies in Caatinga Restoration

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Seed traits offer valuable insights into colonization strategies under climatic unpredictability. In seasonally dry tropical forests, such traits help explain species adaptations to water availability, which is critical for effective restoration.

Flora and Annual Distribution of Flowers and Fruits in the Ubajara National Park, Ceará, Brazil

Floresta e Ambiente, 2020
Although the conservation of tropical biodiversity depends on protected areas, there is still a very large ‘gap’ of knowledge on the flora of Brazilian reserves, especially in the Northeast region of Brazil.

Global Bioregionalisation of Invasive Angiosperms

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Understanding global patterns in plant invasions is critical for improving our understanding of plant biogeography and for informing conservation strategies. However, the bioregional structure of invasive angiosperms remains unresolved globally.
