Fire-adapted forests can be vulnerable to ecosystem conversion under shortening fire-return intervals. To evaluate the impacts of fire regime change, we contrasted Eucalyptus forests that retained canopy cover under tolerable regimes (reference forests) with alternative states of markedly reduced canopy. These alternative states established following short-interval wildfires and have persisted through subsequent fires. Alternative states were dominated by more uniform distributions of small trees (< 20 cm diameter) than reference states, with 97% fewer large trees (> 20 cm diameter). These changes in structure translated into declines in several key ecosystem functions. The loss of large, hollow-forming trees and limited Eucalyptus regeneration indicate long-term constraints on habitat availability for hollow-dependent fauna. Coarse woody debris mass was 38% lower in alternative states, indicating decreased resources for detritivores, fungi, and ground-dwelling mammals. Aboveground carbon stocks were reduced by 59%, with a much higher proportion (98%) stored in small trees than reference states (20%). Lower fire tolerance of small trees suggests a greater vulnerability of carbon stocks to subsequent fires in alternative states compared to reference states. These findings highlight the long-term ecological consequences of altered fire regimes. In addition, emphasising the management and restoration of forest structural integrity is essential to maintain ecosystem functions in fire-prone landscapes that are increasingly vulnerable under changing climates.</p>","PeriodicalId":175,"journal":{"name":"Global Change Biology","volume":"32 5","pages":"e70895"},"PeriodicalIF":12.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13140778/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147831326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we evaluated the effects of vegetation greenness on soil drought (ESD) and soil moisture trend (EST) from 1982 to 2020. Results indicated that ESD and EST were negative in 71% and 59% of vegetated places, respectively, mainly manifested as exacerbated soil drought and accelerated soil drying trend induced by vegetation greening. Across the aridity gradient, both effects peaked in the semi-arid or dry sub-humid zone before diminishing toward the humid zone. And vegetation exerted stronger ESD and EST than both effects of precipitation and temperature in 19% and 44% of vegetated places, respectively. Notably, negative ESD and EST significantly intensified over time, driven primarily by increasing transpiration dominance in evapotranspiration partitioning.

As FLNF contributes nearly half of global biological nitrogen fixation in natural ecosystems, its response to warming is crucial for predicting how ecosystems will cope with nutrient limitations under climate warming. However, current model studies on climate change often rely on simplified representations of biological nitrogen fixation based on empirical proxies, overlooking microbial thermal acclimation and community shifts across climate gradients. To address this gap, we quantified FLNF rates and their temperature sensitivity (Q<sub>10</sub>) along a 1500 m elevational gradient in the eastern Himalayas to evaluate how climate, soil properties and diazotrophic (nitrogen-fixing) microbial communities jointly regulate FLNF. Our results showed that soil FLNF rates at site-specific MAT exhibited a unimodal pattern, peaking at mid-elevations, rather than following the expected monotonic increase with temperature. This pattern was jointly regulated by soil nutrient conditions and shifts in diazotrophic community composition. In contrast, the Q<sub>10</sub> of soil FLNF rates increased with the elevation, being more than twofold higher at the coldest sites. This pattern was primarily driven by elevation-induced shifts in diazotrophic community composition, with Q<sub>10</sub> closely associated with community structure and positively related to the relative abundance of Thermodesulfobacteriota. Together, these findings reveal a dual regulatory mechanism: soil nutrient availability constrains the baseline of FLNF rates both directly and indirectly via its effects on diazotrophic community composition, whereas community composition predominantly governs the magnitude of temperature sensitivity. The higher Q<sub>10</sub> in colder zones also suggests that warming may have a more profound impact on N inputs in nutrient-limited high-elevation and high-latitude ecosystems, although this effect is likely contingent on soil resource availability. We emphasize the importance of incorporating diazotrophic community structure and thermal traits into global biogeochemical models to improve predictions of future nitrogen budgets.</p>","PeriodicalId":175,"journal":{"name":"Global Change Biology","volume":"32 5","pages":"e70897"},"PeriodicalIF":12.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147808963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of physical barriers on animal movement and landscape connectivity can be exacerbated in dryland environments where access to water is a limiting factor. In recent decades, the construction of border barrier infrastructure has accelerated along the international boundary between the United States and Mexico. Here, we used a landscape connectivity model to investigate the effects of barriers on wildlife access to the river in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. We used a modified omnidirectional connectivity model to compare access to the river for three large, terrestrial mammal species across three border barrier scenarios: (1) a landscape without border barriers; (2) a landscape with the existing barrier system; and (3) a potential future landscape with a continuous barrier system. The existing barrier system includes many discrete sections of barrier within tracts of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge or on lands associated with the region's flood control system. Our results indicate that the existing border barriers can impede connectivity and wildlife access to the river in some areas, while some existing gaps between border barrier sections can serve as conduits for wildlife movement and river access. Our future scenario results show how a potential continuous border barrier system could further impede wildlife access to the river.

Overall, organic fertilisation enhances total SOC via POC and MAOC accumulation, whereas inorganic fertilisation mainly increases MAOC.
