However, global variation in its costs and benefits remains poorly quantified, limiting the ability of restoration programmes to strategically leverage its full potential. Here we assess this variation by integrating data on costs and ecological benefits across the tropics, spanning 7.49 million km2 of land with biophysical potential for natural forest regeneration. If completely regenerated, this additional forested area could accumulate approximately 9.57 Gt C over 30 years and reduce the overall extinction risk of forest-dependent species by about 31% relative to a baseline. We show that Indonesia, Madagascar, Philippines, México and Malaysia have the largest areas with high carbon and biodiversity benefits at low costs, which we refer to as ‘holistic hotspots’ for natural regeneration. We find that cost-effective areas with high carbon or high biodiversity benefits alone show different spatial patterns from holistic hotspots. These tradeoffs in achieving both benefits reduce the area of holistic hotspots to 9.67% of the entire study region. The cost–benefit maps we provide can enable decision-makers to improve their spatial planning and investment to achieve their forest restoration goals. Large areas of the tropics could naturally regenerate into forest, yet how the costs and benefits of realizing this potential vary spatially remain unknown. This study fills that gap, revealing that natural regeneration could reduce extinction risk for forest species by ~31% with adequate investment.","PeriodicalId":18835,"journal":{"name":"Nature ecology & evolution","volume":"10 10","pages":"1852-1863"},"PeriodicalIF":17.1,"publicationDate":"2026-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148769369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Theory suggests that the mycorrhizal strategy of non-native plants may predict their establishment success. Here we combine a global dataset of 440,788 vegetation plots with data on plant native status and mycorrhizal type to assess mycorrhizal strategy of non-native plants. The mycorrhizal strategy of non-native plants varies strongly across biomes. Across grassland and desert biomes, non-native species are more frequently non-mycorrhizal than native species, whereas in other biomes non-native species are more likely to be mycorrhizal, most commonly arbuscular-mycorrhizal. Disturbance type and intensity are key predictors of mycorrhizal strategy of non-native species, as mycorrhizal species are favoured by landscape modification and non-mycorrhizal species by natural and human-caused disturbance events. Facultatively mycorrhizal species are consistently under-represented among non-native plants compared with natives, suggesting that symbiotic flexibility does not confer an advantage for non-natives as previously expected. Our study shows that non-native mycorrhizal strategy varies across biogeographical contexts and disturbance, highlighting the need for region-specific prevention and management approaches to plant species introductions. Mycorrhizal strategy could be one of the factors that explain why certain non-native species become successful invaders. This study tests this idea at the global scale and explores geographic patterns and putative drivers of mycorrhizal strategies of non-native naturalized plants.","PeriodicalId":18835,"journal":{"name":"Nature ecology & evolution","volume":"10 9","pages":"1644-1657"},"PeriodicalIF":17.1,"publicationDate":"2026-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.comhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-026-03144-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148769148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This heterogeneity results in the emergence of biological hotspots, localized regions with disproportionate contributions to ecosystem functioning and biodiversity globally. While traditional hotspot approaches (for example, biodiversity hotspots) rely on static boundaries of high species endemism, trophic hotspots are highly dynamic, emerging from the localized concentration, mobilization and propagation of energy or limiting nutrients across landscapes through the foraging movements of diverse consumer taxa. Here we synthesize theory across community, foraging and food web ecologies to present trophic hotspots as a useful entry point towards studying and understanding cross-scale processes in ecology. We contend that the mechanisms that generate trophic hotspots, from marine upwellings and mineral licks to mass animal migrations, result from the same fundamental processes across ecosystems. Importantly, these hotspots reflect a critical form of spatiotemporal heterogeneity that contributes to the maintenance of function in the face of perturbations (that is, resilience). Finally, we argue that trophic hotspots represent valuable focal points for the proactive conservation and management of ecological systems in a rapidly changing world. Foraging species create locations of high concentration and mobilization of energy and nutrients as they move across landscapes. This Perspective discusses how these trophic hotspots are generated and how they contribute to ecosystem function.","PeriodicalId":18835,"journal":{"name":"Nature ecology & evolution","volume":"10 9","pages":"1593-1602"},"PeriodicalIF":17.1,"publicationDate":"2026-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148795781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we assess the link between thermophilization and warming across 53 European mountain summits. We combine long-term macroclimatic and microclimatic temperature time series with vegetation surveys in 724 permanent plots, monitored over 21 years, to evaluate a possible thermophilization signal and relate it to rates of change in 10 temperature metrics. We find evidence of both thermophilization of alpine plant communities and an increase in temperatures. However, although these two trends are related when averaged across mountain regions, their relationship is weak at the individual plot scale, especially when considering microclimatic temperature metrics. Instead, substrate conditions and particularly the availability of thermophilic colonizers in the surrounding vegetation have a major influence on plot-level thermophilization rates. We conclude that the response of plant communities to climate change strongly depends on the abiotic and biotic context, and intensified monitoring efforts are needed to reduce the resulting uncertainties. Attributing alpine vegetation changes to climate change alone is intuitive but might neglect complexities such as microclimate and dispersal limitations. Here the authors show that thermophilization of European summit vegetation is weakly related to temperature change, as it depends on local environmental and floristic conditions.","PeriodicalId":18835,"journal":{"name":"Nature ecology & evolution","volume":"10 10","pages":"1838-1851"},"PeriodicalIF":17.1,"publicationDate":"2026-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.comhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-026-03150-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148729009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
